Greetings,
Its me Tina, its been a long time since we last e mailed and Im real sorry for not keeping you all in the loop. Hope everything is going well and all...
This is a shout out to ask for any help that I can get, God really has blessed me with an opportunity to Study in the USA at Berklee College of Music in Boston, so I am grabbing hold on to this opportunity with both hands, because I know that God has made this available to me. However, Tuition fees for one year will cost me $46-50,000USD, with only 3 weeks to go til my semester starts in September I still have nothing, (there is a BIG LOOONG story that comes along with it) I haven't been able to raise enough to get there, my first semester costs $20,000, so here I am asking everyone that I know, who may be able to support me with what God has called me to do.Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and lay His life as a ransom for many, through creativity, music, my voice and my life, Im called to ecourage, empower, motivate, inspire and lay my life as a Ransom so that people have the ability, the freedom, the choice to live a purpose driven liven life and be equipped in life through faith in Jesus Christ. My prayer and hope is that one day I will be able to share my ups and my downs with people not to bring glory to myself, but to make Christ known in the lives of many, I don't want to be another face on the television, but I do want to be successful in life. If you are able to support me by your giving, even if its $2, evey cent is a seed planted in the Kingdom and though I may not be able to repay you in the flesh, I believe that God will reward you accordingly in Heaven. One thing though, please don't feel pressured or obliged to do anything, my heart is not to use God to get money, but with a sincere heart and passion for God and His people, I want to live my life according to the plan and purpose He has for me and be a testimony to those who are willing to listen. Thanks once again!.. I appreciate it heaps!
If there is anyone who would be interested in helping me get to Berklee please give them my e mail addy!. christina.fatu@gmail.com or fiabotts29@gmail.com
Thanks again for tuning in and keeping up with me
Many Blessing
Tina

Let Go and Let God
WOW!!..I just want to share some lyrics with you, Im digging this song like crazy!!..but I've got a testimony!..
Sung by Dewayne Woods and PJ Morton - LET GO
Couldn't seem to fall alseep
There was so much on my mind
Searching for that peace
But the peace I could not find
So then I kneel down to pray
I was praying help me please
And He said you don't have to cry
Coz I'll supply all Your needs
As soon as I stop worrying, worrying how the story ends
I let go and I let God, let God have His way
Thats when things start happening
When I stop looking at back then
I let go and I let God, Let God have His way
So let Go and let God
WOW...I tell you...powerful words and to this very moment it speask volumes to me, because it reminds me to simply Let Go and Let God, at times its easier said than done, more often than not. Its like life, its so simple then things like dramaz, hating and all this gunk get in the way, emotions and all and it makes it complicated, we make life complicated...oh gosh!.
But on Thursday 30th July 2009 @ the Samani Pulepule Centre was 'RANSOM'
First thing I want to say is THANK YOU!!.
To God for making it a great success, for stirring, reminding, planting that seed, I was told that every cent is a seed planted, but that night, every word sung was a seed planted. I want to acknowledge my church Equippers Church for playing a huge part of this journey of mine, Gateway Church - Where the new journey began, Tokoroa AOG - Where my life began, Lifestyle - for being inspirations and writing phenomenal songs, ACDC - My old school...YAY, Levites - for unspeakable, indescribable skill..mind blowing, Edwina Thorne & Sung Jin - for inspiration, Isaac and the krew that jammed - Inspirational musically and spiritually hard out, The Disciples - HAHA these guys are amazing, amazing MC's dahaha in their own way, amazing voices and AMAZING boys!.Supporters: Manna Christian Bookstore and Sony for donating prizes to give away, Niu FM & 531pi for promoting my concert on the Radio (Nina you're awesome)!, Samoa Post (Ngaire) for disappearing when I asked everyone to go outside to have a photo, only to find her again later..LoL!...but for coming out, not knowing where you're going and what you're expecting. Im glad you came.
Im grateful and humbled at how AMAZING God is, how He turns your morning in to dancing, he turns your (my) sorrow in to joy, how when there is no way He makes a way, how He brings people in to your life who can back you up on making a change, making a difference, breaking that culture of conforming to being a statistic, like Kirk Franklins Son said on his Rebirth album or maybe it was the Fight for life Album, I REFUSE TO BE ANOTHER STATISTIC. I declare VICTORY in Christ over this South Auckland mentality and culture that some of us once settled for, I declare PROSPERITY in Christ over our young people, people of all ages to see as God sees, to respond to His call, to RISE up and take your position, to not settle for mediocrity, to press on and keep fighting the good fight, I will not let beat down, stepped on attitudes conquer, I will RISE in Christ Jesus, I will keep walking in His plan for my life, I will rejoice even when I don't feel like it, I know God is able to see me through any trial, any force that comes against me, He said If God is for me who is against me?. I stand on His promise to prosper us, to give us a hope and a future. He is doing it for me and if He does it for me He sure will do it for you!.
God Bless!.
