Arielle Jones on Recording the Debut Album!!

Hi, everyone! How are you? Right now, I am in the process of recording my debut album in the studio! Yay! I am super excited, and I believe you will just LOVE what you will hear from me in the coming months! The album will be available officially sometime in 2009! (No definite month or date in 2009, but at least you know the year. Since 2009 is not too far away, REJOICE because my wonderful music is coming straight to your lovely ears soon!!!)

Yes, it has been a little while since you have heard a new sound from me, and I would like to thank you for bearing with me! Thank you to those of you who have been checking on me to see how I am AND also listening to my previously released singles! God bless you SO MUCH!!

I have to admit that I have not been feeling my very best in body lately. I have had a lot going on and it can be truly draining sometimes, but I know that working my hardest for you will only get us to the goals faster. It is true that I am not a "robot machine" and need my rest just as much as anybody else, so I am making sure that I am doing EVERYTHING to be ready to lay down pure platinum for you in the studio! (You can see I have high hopes, but God has not let me down thus far... Why should I let Him down? I refuse.)

Here is a product of all my hard work for you! You will get a chance to see more by visiting my additional materials at: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewAlbums&friendID=174941702. I am happy to share these things with you!

The photo included in this blog is my FAVORITE studio shot of me taking a quick photo before recording! It makes me feel peaceful to see this picture and know that God's hand on my life has never left! He is only getting ready to do even GREATER things with His children (that includes ALL OF US)! Amen! Are you exicted or what? Hahaha! Take care, and talk to you again soon!

An Anonymous but Beautiful Blog

I really feel like I have learned a lot over this past year and time. I learned that life can take all sorts of leaps and turns, over time, and the very thing to do about it is- LET IT GO.

I used to hear Rachael Lampa sing about "letting it go", all the time, in her song called "Outrageous" and thought, at first, "Hmm... sounds nice, but it would be even better if more people felt like they could 'let it all go' just as she sings about." Since I respect Rachael Lampa as one of my favorite recording artists, I wanted to 'let it go', too (of course, hahaha)! I later thought "This song has some real, definitive meaning... It has one of those messages that really 'tug at your heart' and won't let you go (even if you try to let it go), and MY GOSH, it is so doggone catchy, too!" Guess what happened... I found myself applying the "let it go" philosophy to my life and so many obstacles lifted away surprisingly (but I believe you already know that these "life obstacles" are really those BAD, UGLY demons in disguise, don't you? See, I KNEW you did!)

In 2007, God placed it in my heart that I would not only be writing (as I always did), but writing about more extensive experiences that I had not encountered. You know, the types of things that are SO different that they are a "life changing" different. Yes, God is good and mysterious, indeed, and saw His power working in my life tremendously in 2007 especially since I accomplished 3 major life goals:

1) I met the beautiful young lady I consider my best and closest friend in the wide world.

2) I was in AWOE Magazine's "Spirit and Soul Spotlight Artist: September 2007" at age 18 (an achievement, might I add, that many would love to have in this life but instead go off yonder to be with the Lord before anything like that actually happens).

and...

3) The Lord helped me finish the Heaven-kissed beauty "Father of My Soul", the song that moves, motivates, heals, touches, cleanes, and surely does inspire and will continue to do so. (No matter, how I tried in the past years, I could not complete it... almost as if I had extreme writer's block, but I see that everything is about timing with God. After all, why stress when "God's got your back", right?)

Now, if these are not "life changing accomplishments", tell me... WHAT IS?! It is true that everyone generally wants fame and recognition (especially from their own works), but in Heaven's rankings, it is FAR MORE VALUABLE to suffer life long burdens of deep-rooted pains and to actually COME OUT OF IT (HALLELUJAH!) than to seek any kind of anything for ourselves! Don't you know that when you work for God, you can never lose, honey? YOU GOT IT! I know you realized that one just as well!

You may be wondering, "What kind of life long pains has this young girl suffered?". I mean, it seems like I am a pretty joyful and well-rounded person, right? Truth is: NO ONE is as perfect as they seem, and EVERYONE is entitled to as many faults as snares as they chose to make! Oh, says who? Says the Bible when God gave us FREE-WILL, so it is in there! Yes, it is! What we choose to do with the given free-will is another story and completely up to us (whether we fail or succeed), but this young girly right here chooses to use her EVERYTHING for the Lord! Simply, if you thought I was "perfect", I urge you to STOP thinking that! Is it not a scientific fact that what goes up must come down? Now, how perfect is it that "object x", in actuality, falls down and shatters into bits and pieces all over the floor? (Not very perfect at all... ) Since we are a part of God's scientific world, why should we be perfect when scientific findings are not? The essence of beauty is in the flaws because we can actually learn from them. Praise God that He has shown the world, through me (His child and follower), that: .

You are NOT loved because you are "perfect", but you are perfect because you are loved! (And no, not by people, but by GOD! People can stop you from reaching all sorts of WONDERFUL progression in this lifetime and untimately from reaching Heaven, unfortunately, while God Himself will open the gate for you and say, "Welcome home, My child!", and that's just the fact of the matter here, but enough about that, hahaha! I know we are all grasping these things together now.

If you want to know about some of the many trials I have encountered in my lifetime, you can check them out here: http://awoemagazine.com/ariellejonespg1.html. Read the WHOLE interview. You will learn a lot that you did not know about me. Of course, you have to be open-minded to receive it because, yes, I am a young person but many believe that my wisdom is beyond my years (also as the magazine interview, Jen G. says). If God can use a donkey, why couldn't He use a young person? (I mean, much more... That was incredible to use an animal, but come on... Young people are PEOPLE WITH VOICES all the same, and sometimes it takes a young testimony, to move the world in positive ways. Think about it, as I do. Apparently, it's true.)

Know that though things may look and sound nice in my life, I am just a product of the King blessing me to stay alive. I could have been killed many atimes with the amount of attacks I encountered.

To close, I am working on my debut music album which will be released in 2009. I wrote EVERY ONE of the songs myself, and it will give you a sure opportunity to get a good feel of who I am even more. If you would like to find out more, I am encouraging you to check out my CD when it is out. I believe it will bless many (it blesses me and changes my life every time I hear it). It will be available for YOU very soon, too, so please stay tuned to Http://www.MySpace.com/ArielleJonesMusic.

Thank you for reading! I pray that this message blessed you as much as it blessed me to experience these topics! I thank you for stopping by! Take care, and talk to you again soon!

Blessed: The Best of Rachael Lampa
By Rachael Lampa
Release date: 2006-05-09


10:55 PM

If you have the will, heart, desire... You WILL!

It is so important for us ALL to know that if we have the will, heart, desire to do ANYTHING, nothing can get in the way of that, and though those maybe try, they will simply not succeed. I had a quote posted on my MySpace music page (Http://www.MySpace.com/ArielleJonesMusic), a very specific life statement, that read: "The only person that can stop your destiny is YOU: DON'T!", and I mean EVERY word of this statement with my entire heart and soul! We should NOT hinder or prevent our own destiny of true rewards from unfolding! God intended for us to be blessed, not stressed, and living in real success ALL ALONG! Of course, if we put God first, recognize that He is the divine Creator, and that yes... He even created OUR very own ideas, then He will also allow us to reap all of the benefits! Oh, wow! How awesome, how wonderful, how truly AMAZING is our God!

Now, I know that everyone does not believe in the same things, view life and experiences through the same perspective, or even have the same feelings, and that is FINE. The world is DIVERSE and BEAUTIFUL, and I am all for that, but this is what my God has been for me: my Father, my Savior, my Healer, my Deliverer, my Protector, my Counselor, my Motivator, my Inspirer, my Shield, my Sword, my Strong Tower, my Fortress, my Help, my Mediator, my Meditator, my Intercessor, my Life, and My Love! I feel obliged and honored that He uses His children to display His glorious works, and even more astounded that He not only calls me His child, but his FRIEND. Have you even heard Israel Houghton's song that says, "I am a friend of God/I am a friend of God/I am a friend of God/He calls me friend!"? That is an EXCELLENT song, and people like THAT uplift me greatly. I am glad to share my testimonies with everyone through singing, writing music and compositions, by doing my talk show, and soon in many more ways. Look out for more surprises from me soon because that Jesus He is not through with me yet! Ha ha! YES!

And even more, what a PRIVILEDGE it is to be able to TALK WITH GOD! You know, that "praying" thing we do. YES, that's the one. Oh, He listens, and we surely do know He IS listening when we see our prayers come true. (I have seen proof of that in my actual life where I have prayed and great things have happened.) EVERYONE can pray! As the God's divinely inspired Word says, "He is not a respector of persons...", but, "...if you seek Me you shall find Me, when you seek after me with all your heart." Hallelujah to Him!

Thinking on these things, we can also realize that many things occur in life that is completely beyond our control (whether sickness, pain, sadness, confusion, etc.), and while these things are tragic, it is vital to not only remember God during the BAD, but also during the GOOD as well! Remember God during EVERYTHING!

As people we all experience shortcomings, self-doubt, and the like. I mean, I know I have had my share of bad days JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Oh yes, I know that, and I'll admit that in the bad times I think about the Word of God. A particular parable comes to my memory at the moment called The Parable of the Talents. Basically, the Lord gave 3 different people a different number of talents. 2 out of the 3 were faithful with what the Lord gave, and He multiplied it and gave them a whole lot more. The 3rd person strayed away from God's Will by just letting his particular talent "sit there" and "work for itself", really doing nothing to progress what God had given Him to do. I bet you know what happened to the 3rd person, right? Well, the Lord was not pleased with Him as indicated by His response and turned him away from those blessings he WOULD HAVE received if he had done what the Lord wanted. If you do not know this famous and wonderful Bible story and would like to read it, you can check it out at: Matthew 25:14-30

What I am saying is that God KNOWS our hearts. He really DOES know if we have the "will, heart, desire" to do what is right for Him and if we simply choose to do the very opposite for our own reasons. HE DOES. If we DO choose to do what is right, God will bless you in FAR MORE WAYS than we even know. The choice is up to US: "Choose ye this day whom you will serve."(- The Holy Bible) My choice is God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit/the Almighty One, the Creator of the Universe, the God in Heaven, and the God of ALL from everlasting to everlasting! AMEN!

Inviting to stay tuned, as always for the latest updates from me. I have some DEFINITE music-related surprises (even more than me just recording some new songs for you) to tell you about COMING SOON! Yes, this is OFFICIAL! You can check out these sites for all the best and newest:

And remember that "what CAN'T kill you, can only make you stronger" (as the popular and absolutely BRILLIANT saying says). I pray for you constantly and thank you for your prayers for me as well. There is also another popular saying that says, "Our biggest competion sometimes is ourselves". My personal advice on this is do not compete with yourself. Try to find your true beautiful essence, and if you do not yet know, pray that God will help you to know. After all, why hide when you can blossom gorgeously like a flower from Heaven. I often think about that myself and believe that motivates me to be as direct as I am about what I feel deeply.

I pray that we will all run this race and "fight the good fight" with true strength and stability so that the Lord, at the very end will say, "Well done, My good and faithful servant, well done!" Cannot wait to meet you, my lovely friends at the finish line! See you there, and God bless you through this journey called "Life"!
