I'm in REBELLION.........join me!

Hey Loves!!!! I'm in the process of recording my album and I must tell you I am enjoying every step of the way! We're working on the production for song #2 and it's coming out amazing!!! I can't lie though.... it is extremely tedious, time consuming, and an emotional roller coaster! I wouldn't trade it for the world!!!! With each track, each time I go out to sing, and with each decision made on this road I dive deeper and deeper in ministry and I feel a pull to do what "Thus saith the Lord"! Now I know what you're thinking... every gospel/christian artist is doing that! Well aside from being a singer; being simply Jenise I feel a pull to put my money where my mouth is. Often times we say we're doing what God has called us to do, but we allow ourselves easy passes every now and then tippin and dippin out of the will of God! Well... in listening to Lecre's HIT song Rebel (sn: I'm a major fan if y'all haven't noticed!!) I just feel truly compelled to go ULTRA hard to say NO to the enemy and his advances and say YES to Jesus and His will!!! This means accountability, going hard to eat more of His Word, spend more time in prayer, and censor what I take in through each of my 5 senses!!!! Taking a Stand for Christ in my life!!! On some true for God I Live for God I die because I MUST see Jesus!!!!

JOIN ME!

Love,

Jenise La Vonne

WOW!!!!! lol Super Grace

REFLECTING

So I'm sitting here this rainy NY night and I'm thinking over my life... my experiences... where I've come from and where I am destined to go. Sometimes I wonder Lord Jesus why me? Why still love me and call me for your service. I wouldn't have chosen me. There is nothing I have done or can do to deserve your love yet you grant it to me regardless. Lord I thank you and I am eternally grateful! Have your way in me, and help me to walk worthy in the vocation where with you have called me.

If you haven't yet make sure you grab my single THE CALL on iTunes!!!!!

So as you all may already know the title of my album is For This Time. God is such an awesome God and I am humbled to be chosen to minister to His people through music in this end time harvest. I've completed production on the 1st song and yesterday we started production on the 2nd song. Things are moving slow but steady!! Check out a snip of the title song below and let me know what you think.

So, It's been a while.......

Sooooo......

It has been quite a while since I last updated you guys!! I am sooo sorry but trust I do have some WONDERFUL things to update you with!

Italy

Yup! I said Italy!!! God has truly been opening doors including one that allowed me to travel to and tour Europe with Minister J. David Bratton and the New York State Mass Choir!!! Ahhhhh what an awesome experience!! For the majority of the trip we toured Italy but we did move around a bit and we got the chance to sing in Hungry, and Germany as well. God truly blessed us there allowing us to minister in song to about 50,000 souls including an Italian all male prison!!! Although the situation was intense, God showed us that His presence cannot be contained by bars!!! The Lord really met us there in a MIGHTY way! Glory to God, I will be traveling back to Europe this winter again to once again minister through song and grow. Being across the world and seeing how hungry the people were for God really changed my outlook on serving people and spreading the GREAT news of Jesus Christ!! I am truly looking forward to this year's tour!!

Weight Loss

I lost 10 pounds and STILL going strong. I've come down about 2 dress sizes and I feel GREAT!!!! Being overseas totally ruined my eating regimen but strangely enough when I got back I had lost weight. So I continue on eating healthy and working out!!! Yay Me!!!

Music

I am back in the studio!!! Not only for me but I am currently writing music for a few BIG name gospel and christian artists who will remain nameless for now, but you know I will let you all know who they are as soon as they release it!! I just came back from Atlanta where I was the guest soloist for the Evangelistic Churches of Christ National Youth Convention. God totally met us there and blessed us tremendously!!! Thank you Jesus!!! I will post up the video for that as so as I get it!!

Book

Yeeeaaaah..... I'm still writing. lol It's truly a LONG process, well at least for me it is! But it is most def coming!!!!!!! I'll keep you all posted on it!

Now you all know me! I am always doing something, and thinking of new ideas, so YES!!!!! There's more, which I will be announcing SOON!!!!

Thanks again for all of you praying, reading, writing, supporting, and just being awesome and encouraging! I Love you all!!!

Love,

Jenise La Vonne

UPDATE

So it's been a little while since I've blogged and I just thought I'd update you all on what's going on with me.

Weight Loss Challenge

So the past couple of weeks have been a mess. We've made it to November 1st (which was supposed to be my goal date) and I had NOT :( met it. That definitely bummed me out considering the work I've been putting in, so I took a break to gather myself and regroup and create a whole new game plan. Please forgive me, for those of you who may have thought I'd given up. I was down for a spell but now I'm back with a vengeance. I am now going into OPERATION OVERTIME!!!!! OPERATION OVERTIME will be more intense, and more focused. There is no date in which I will be putting on myself to loose the weight just straight up MEET MY GOAL by any means necessary!!! So 2-a-days (workouts), food log, and my accountability partner (my brother). I've learned that I work best when I have someone to keep me focused and I just praise God for a brother that will be honest with me when no one else will. Shout Out to my brother Steven Walters!! So yes, I'm STILL at it and I WON'T STOP!!!!

Music

I've been preparing to go on an Italian tour with J. David Bratton and the NYC Mass choir. I am super excited and humbled to have been blessed with this opportunity. I truly do not feel worthy but I am doing my best to prepare and let God have His way in me. In rehearsals I have been learning so much and I believe that Italy is going to produce a whole new outlook and drive for my career. Thank You Jesus!!!

I have also been gathering songs for my album, which will begin recording in the new year. I am very excited about the direction it will take. It is most definitely needed in gospel music today. If you would like to submit any music for me to consider please send it via MP3 to my e-mail JeniseLaVonne@gmail.com.

BOOK!?

So I've always been a writer, and I've always desired to eventually write a book or maybe a few and ever since one of my brothers in Christ saw my most recent photo shoot, he proclaimed that some of the pics looked like a book cover. Well in these past rough few weeks, I've decided to just go for it!!!! So, YES! I am working on actually 2 books. Not sure when they will be done, but I will most definitely keep you all posted on how it's going!

I just want to send love, and thanks yous to everyone that has been supporting me, praying for me, thinking of me, calling me and all of that great stuff! Life is hard but all of your love most definitely makes it easier!!! God bless and Stay tuned!!! Xoxoxo

Love,

Jenise LaVonne
