Hi there, it’s been a while.
I thought it would be nice to share a few
things about events and people that inspire me with the world.

One Voice Open Mic Night .....(c) Property of Beinspired4u |
So I recently attended a Christian open mic
night known as ‘One Voice’ which was pioneered by a group of young, radical
Christians in Manchester. I initially expected the
event to be a concert but I was soon to find out that it show cased new and
upcoming talents. There were a lot of different acts such as; dancers, musicians and poets on the day, just to mention a few that have stuck with me:
1. 'Babalola' - a young talented gopsel singer whose life changing testimony was truly inspiring. He has such a great voice which fills the room while he sings.
2. 'Sarah Reece' - a very talented young lady, whose life has been shaped by the love, beauty and peace of knowing Jesus. She's a poet and a singer. As a poet, I believe she's absolutely FANTASTIC because of the way she expresses her stories through her poems, which is I particularly found interesting. She's vibrant and energetic and with this she exudes so much passion while performing.

3. 'Daniel Walker' - an 'AMAZING' upcoming Gospel Artiste, whose version of "Moving Forward - by Israel Houghton" was absolutely beautiful and one could tell was from the bottom of the heart. If you don't believe me just listen to him singing live (unplugged version).
4.'ChiChi' - a soul singer. Again I admire soul singers (INFACT...I should be one...laughs). She also lets her music express her stories.
5. Acacia - a singer and dancer. She exudes so much passion in her songs and dance. When you watch her, you can tell that she puts all her spirit, body and soul into her performance.
6. 'JD' - a guitarist and singer. I just love the combination of this acoustic performance. With the melody of the guitar and softness of this artiste's voice, it's very easy and quick to feel the emotions and story from the lyric behind the song.
7. 'Cavell and Daryl' - a gospel rap artistes. They both have this blend of gospel hip-hop, which I feel is a fun and exciting way to convey THE WORD to the world (I can clearly say that I'm slowly but surely starting to fall in love with gospel rap).
I was also inspired by a Charity Organisation called 'Mustard Tree' who in this hard time provides food and clothes for the homeless, WOW I was blown away.....they just express true and genuine love of God to the world just as Matt 5:35-40 says. I just love to see and meet people who can give out of the little they have or go out of their way to bless and provide for others.
The best part of day for me was when I won a free mug and cadbury's chocolate (mehn I ate it all by myself) from a raffle draw....YAY for me!!!! Are you excited for me. LOL..on a more serious note there was a deeper meaning to the free gift (I didn't just grab it and run away) which basically highlighted how we don't deserve salvation but yet God gives it to us freely...FREELY HE GAVE IT ALL FOR US.
I could go on and on about how great the acts and the programme was but I'm keeping this short. I can reassure you that this programme was well worth it and if you're looking for a place where you can just be yourself and still want to listen to God in different and dynamic was then this is where to be.
For a show that began less than a year ago, I can say that it was a WONDERFUL!!! experience.
I give this show a 3 star rating:
