New artist Kat Dahlia made her album debut this month with My Garden and although not at all a Christian album, the pop singer talks about the popular struggle many millennials face of partying on Saturday and attending church on Sunday in her song "Saturday Sunday."

I came across Kat while scrolling through YouTube last year. A latin female artist whose video had over a million hits intrigued me, so I had to click. While her single "Gangsta" played and I saw her vibe, it reminded me of myself back in '06.

At the top of the year, I was reminded of Kat because of several promotional banners I saw on social media. Upon the release of her debut album I decided to preview her record on iTunes. Although I am a fan of her in your face attitude and sincere lyrics, the lyrical content does not currently speak to where I am now in my life and walk with God.

There was one song however that caught my attention. As I heard the lyrics of "Saturday Sunday" it brought me back to the first five years of my walk with God.

 See lyrics below:

"Is it Saturday, Sunday, Saturday, Sunday?

Poppin' shots down the same lips that I pray

Saturday, Sunday, Saturday, Sunday

Maybe I'll get it right one day"

"Oh preacher, you're way too loud

My head's spinning 'round

Watch my gown

It's drenched in black, don't let me drown"

I was well into building the "Jeannie Ortega Empire." I had a top pop song on radio and Billboard but because of an encounter I had with God I made sure regardless no matter how late or early I was out until, I made time for church on Sunday.

While I embarked on my spiritual journey, for years I was out on Saturday's performing in clubs, partying, and God knows what else. I would stroll into my house at 6 a.m. sometimes on Sunday morning, wash up and then head to church. Similar to Kat's lyrics my soul cried out to be saved from myself. Although the preacher's words intrigued me, and the worship brought out a desire in me for more of God, I never could fully have a transformative experience with God and His Holy Spirit.

I spent a lot of my time asking God to cleanse me of all the grime I felt lingering from the night before. I loved God so much and knew Jesus was real and my savior but I was not yet ready to give up myself, my empire, and listen to his plans for my life.

Eventually my life continued to get so broken that I realized I needed to go deeper with God and let Him fill my emptiness. I had money, success, fame, an entourage, but no peace at all. My Saturday/Sunday dilemma was soon resolved as I began to seek God for his sanctification. That means reconditioning my life with Him, His Word, and making some choices to not get sucked back into my old ways.

As Kat sings of her weekend conflictions I recalled my own and I've seen many others do likewise. This war reminds me of the scripture in Proverbs 14 that says, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death."

Are you a Saturday/Sunday Christian? Is Kat's song a sentiment that many share in the church? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below.
