Hey Fam,
Happy Holidays much love

A passionate prayer
A traitorous arrest
A trumped up charge
A false trial
Lying witnesses
A denying disciple
Washed hands
Unrighteous remorse
A Place called Skull
A remote crossroads of the world
Between two thieves
Sneering rulers
Scoffing bystanders
Abusive soldiers
Insensitive crucifiers
A repentant robber
A new mother and her new son
Weeping women
A worshipping Centurion
Three hours of darkness
The earth shakes
Some living dead
A criminal’s cross
A sealed stone
Salvation!

Salvation? How can the salvation of all mankind happen in this way? In this ignominious, inglorious way? How can this be? That all of the sins of all who have ever lived or are living or will live are paid for on a criminal’s cross? Aren’t criminals most in need of forgiveness? Can criminals even be forgiven? How can a Man who hung on a criminal’s cross pay for all the sin of all people?

And in Jerusalem of all  places. Why not Rome, the political capital of the world? Or Athens, the cultural capital of the world? Or Alexandria, the educational capital of the world? Or Ephesus, one of the economic capitals of the world? Or Corinth, certainly one of the sin capitals of the world? Yes, that’s it, why wasn’t sin paid for in one of the greatest sin centers of history?

It just doesn’t make sense. How can this Friday be Good? And how could salvation happen in this way?

No blaring trumpets, no glorious angels, no parades of power and purity, just another Friday crucifixion in the ancient Roman empire. Amazing. Excruciatingly painful, but almost ho-hum for the Roman soldiers. Just one more criminal to throw on the trash heap of history and off we go for a few drinks and a good time of gaming.

Yet salvation did come this way. Yes, it did!
Jesus died for you and me….. CHOOSE HIM CHOOSE LIFE
Matthew 28:6

Changing the perspective of dancehall and reggae music is what that drives young talented Suzanne Mwathi but known to many as Suz-eye.. into doing this genre of music to reach all.
Raised in a Christian family with strong belief in Christ and following his word was just a beginning into the raising of a changing young lady with passion to change the different generations to seek Christ and to live for him fully without shame.
Growing up listening to reggae and dancehall music and through it made a change of lifeâ??s directions and seeking to follow Christ. Listening to the likes of Christafari, papa san, Avion Blackman was just and opening into the road of music. Having an urge to reach out to the reggae and ragga fanatics through the word of God and bringing hope into their lives, while at the same time painting a positive attitude towards this kind of genre of music that has been viewed negatively for a long time.
Being a young lady doing gospel dancehall and reggae music has had its challenges and negative perspective hence losing sense of direction just to please others. This brought about the creation of  the first single  late last year. Which is a declaration to the lord that he is all that I want in my life and all that I need, because of his unfailing love, not giving up on me when I walked away and hence I give all back to him that is why I choose him to being my love for doing many things in my life.
Early this year suz-eye completed her second single titled “Dance” which is just urging everyone to dance for the lord despite the surrounding of where they are, who is looking but dancing for the Lord for what he has done and not being ashamed of him.
Her vision is to reach all people out there regardless of age and giving them music as a source of healing and leading them to Jesus for eternal healing and love.
Her mission is to never give up despite what cause am a child of a king and am more than a conqueror.

x-hoodz salute Suz-eye for her work in the ministry, her passion for music and for being an inspiration to many young people out there.
