The Heart of Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston traveled all over the world. She liked visiting places like Israel. Whitney loved reading her Bible, and she loved children. Sometimes she was troubled like a human being sometimes will be, but there were good things in her heart that came out.

Fans still mourn about Whitney Houston's death. They comment and post on her pictures and videos on social media everyday.

St. John 14:1 Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled .........

Whitney Houston: Luther Vandross - Amazing Love

Wikipedia.org

You've heard Luther Vandross sing something like this (Singing) Love has truly been good to me Not even one sad day or minute have I had since you've come my way. 

 And back in 1999, Whitney Houston sang live giving tribute to Luther Vandross.

(Singing) I hope you know, I'd gladly go Anywhere you'd take me It's so amazing to be loved I'd follow you to the moon in the sky above 

Yes, Amazing Love by Luther Vandross. Beautiful song. I enjoyed hearing Luther Vandross sing it. (singing) I enjoyed hearing Whitney's tribute to Luther. It's a memory to cherish. (singing)

Whitney said: My mother told me about Luther Vandross. Not only what a great singer, vocalist; writer, but what a great person he is. 

And Luther said: I've sung with Whitney since she was younger. Her mother use to hire me and her to sing background with her...... I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to the Whitney Soul Podcast. (Singing)

Whitney Houston and Will Smith Dancing

YouTube

Will and his wife Jada seemed to be close friends with Whitney Houston in the 90's. I never saw them together hardly on television. Jada mentioned that Whitney went to her baby shower when she was expecting Jaden. So there are some things that maybe fans didn't get to see behind the scenes of television or in pictures for magazines.

Here is a video of Will and Whitney dancing together. You might remember this moment.

According to Jada Pinkett, Whitney Houston is a very fun and fierce person. I can believe that. Jada was lucky to get to know Whitney. I feel that Will and Jada was fun for Whitney Houston. I think she was starting to make some good friends.

There Could Have Been A Bodyguard 2 (ONE MORE Time for Love)

I'm Gail Nobles and You're listening to Movies Unmade. Today's topic is "There Could Have Been a Bodyguard 2"

 We've seen The Bodyguard It is a 1992 Romantic thriller film directed by Mick Jackson, and Produced by Kevin Costner and Jim Wilson, and starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston. The film was written by Lawrence Kasdan.

 Now lets talk about the characters. Rachel, played by Whitney Houston, is an Academy Award -- nominated actress and music superstar who is being sent death threats by a stalker. Frank, played by Kevin Costner, was formally a secret service agent who protected Rachel.





It would have been nice to see a Bodyguard 2 film starring Whitney Houston & Keven Costner. What would have made a 2nd movie of it interesting is to see Rachel save Frank. It would have been fun to see Rachel shoot guns during a time when Frank could have been out numbered by several bad guys. They could have been a team.

 In the Bodyguard movie, Rachel and Frank leaves each other in the end kissing goodbye. It would have been nice to see them in A Bodyguard 2 movie escaping together. The movie could have been a film with more action than the first. I would have loved to have seen Frank and Rachel together one more time starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.

 Whitney Houston left us with such a great memory. Thank you Kevin Costner for choosing her. I wish I could see you both just one more time .........

Whitney Houston Empower and Black Power

YouTube

Most of the time when I think of Whitney Houston, I think of the word Empower. In one of her music videos, she sings words mentioning she learned from the best. She sang with great authority and was very confident. I saw Whitney as a very strong singer and person.

With so much going on in the world right now today from Corona virus to racial problems to protesting and death, I still think of Whitney when I tune in into the music world. I see a great deal of black power when I look at photos and videos of Whitney now for sure. I saw a strong black woman from Newark going through a lot right before my eyes. There were things I didn't know that I saw, and there were things I didn't know that Whitney was going through. We didn't see the whole picture.The truth was in Whitney and her life. Not in the tabloids and what the world had to say about her. Whitney must speak for herself. Her life did some speaking, but only God knows all details.

What I heard happened to Whitney can happen to any of us. Look at the world today. We don't know what we'll have to face. We don't know what might drive us to do something wrong. Whitney died at the age of 48. Those of us that are still young in our 20's and 30's will be blessed if we get her age. We'll be blessed to make it to a career. If we do, like Whitney had done, we should always thank God. I thank God for sharing Whitney with us in music and how she empowered some of us as a woman with black power.

What Did Whitney Houston Know about NC?

What did Whitney Houston know about NC? Sometimes when Whitney Houston's name comes up, I see the words Shelby NC. She has been there to support  her sister-n-law's (Pat Houston) Teen Summit event. Whitney was in my state. When I found out, I thought, "I'll Be Doggone. And I still didn't get a chance to meet her." Whitney was so close.

This year, I just found out that one of my aunts that lived in New Jersey didn't live that far from Whitney. Again, I thought, " I'll Be Doggone. And I still didn't get a chance to meet Whitney."

Not long ago after Whitney passed, I found out that I have a cousin that went to school with her. Three strikes and I'm out. Things were happening all around me concerning Whitney Houston, and we never met.

Whitney Houston and The Bible

Some people make fun of Whitney Houston. You have got to be careful at who you laugh at and what you laugh at. I don't care how good or how bad somebody else may seem. Everything in the world is funny to some people until trouble comes their way. If you know what the Bible mentions, you know that you had better be careful at what you laugh at. You can tell who really reads the Bible. There are people raised up making mockery of other people. So we know how lost they are. Jesus was also mocked.

Luke 18:32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

Whitney Houston was searching for something. It is said that she knew her Bible well. She went in the direction of the Lord though she might not have been doing what was right sometimes. Some people would never think about the Bible or Christ. I'm sure that God was paying attention if Whitney was truly seeking him. Some people have no one to talk to and no one to guide them along the way in life. Maybe they were brought up in church, but there are things wrong in the church buildings too. Whitney was searching and reading the Bible for herself.

St. John 5: 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Yes, it is said that Whitney Houston has done drugs. Many people do drugs and maybe for different reasons. If you don't do drugs, that doesn't mean that you are better than the next person. There is something wrong in your life too. I have things in my life that I am fighting and need to overcome. Whitney knew that she could somehow overcome through Jesus Christ. There was a tabloid show that called Whitney crazy. Anyone that is seeking God has more sense than a lot of folks. What does tabliods do and the people that write them? The Bible mentions the things that they do in so many words. Search the scriptures. They got to stand before God too. We all do.

Satan kept going after Whitney. He doesn't go after people that are lost. Satan figures that he has them already. He's interested in those that he does not have. Satan wanted Whitney dead because she was a threat from the beginning. She was getting close to her daughter, and she was moving away from drugs. That made Satan work just that much harder. He knew there was something special about Whitney.

Whitney must have been doing something right. She probably would not have went through all of the hurt and pain she went through if Satan was not interested in her. Whitney was going through a constant battle. God knew whom she was as well better than she knew herself. Better than those that are judging her. I'm just glad that Whitney picked up her Bible and knew about God. She will get a better judgment from the Lord. God knows how hard we try and if we have really done our best or not.

John 3:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
