oh no i hope my car doesnt die on me!!!!

not my actual mileages, but pretty close to what mines say

Hello everyone, so I have had my car now since 2005. So a good 6 years. My car is nothing fancy. Just a white little 2004 Chevy Classic. My plan is to keep my car(MissyBu, that's her name) As long as I can. I really want her to live until 2014. I know that's a really long time from now. Now you may ask, that's not a long time. Well my car has 90,000 on her. She has been good to me. But I love the fact that she is paid for, and the only thing I pay is my insurance. However if I renew my contract for another year and MissyBu dies on me, I am not only screwed, but I am SCREWED. Call me cheap, and then call me cheap again. But I don't want to pay for a new car. If you guys haven't noticed by now from reading my blog, I am frugal. Don't get me wrong I like eating at nice restaurants, and wearing nice clothing however I want to pay little to nothing to do everything I enjoy. Also if someone wants to pay for it they can and I can enjoy it at their treat. Anywho (I know its not a word, its just my favorite word, right next to swiggle.lol) I am getting nervous about this whole my car might die. You know how they say after 100,000 miles your car starts getting real sick, unless you have a Honda. I was talking to my mom and she was trying to give me her 2008 Jeep Liberty. I was like mom, thanks and all, but Jeeps are high up, and your trying to pass that down to me because the gas is high. lol. I wanna small car like MissyBu. Shootttt if she offering cars I might take her up on her offer. Maybe she might talk to my step-father who is always trying to win my love by purchasing superficial items for me. That would be great to get not only a job but a new car to match. As long as they will foot the bill of course. If y'all didn't read my post a couple of days ago a sista is broke. The LORD has been helping and blessing me this year, esp. since I transitioned with my LSs into this Alumnae chapter because this stuff is not cheap, but I love doing what I Do and serving the community and working for Delta. But def keep this "struggling, but smiling while I do it, post- college graduate, working for little to nothing but making an impact by empowering others to be self sufficient woman" in your prayers.

Psalms 91

I was talking to my mother on the phone tonight (I am actually talking to her right now, as I write this post). She told me that she reads this Bible verse everyday. I remember when I too, use to read this everyday. The words hold true in any situation. I remember reading this everyday when I was just feeling bad, and I remember reading this when I was having a gr8 day. I truly believe that if God is with you who can be against you. I would rather walk by faith and with God by my side, then to walk alone and without him. I am going to start reading this scripture everyday again. Starting today.

Psalms 91

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust . 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust : his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet . 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high , because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Looking up

I am kind of excited about my next steps and moves in my life. As of today , I was nominated to be apart of the nominating committee. Voting will happen next month so hopefully I will get it. Even though there is a possibility that I will be moving if I get this job. I still like to have options because there is no guarantee that I will get the job. Plus I may get the job, go visit, and I may not even like it. So its always good to have options. I have been looking up Alumnae chapters in that area, graduate schools, as well other social/networking organizations such as the Urban League. Because if I am in a new state and new environment I really want to rub elbows with the right people. I have also been researching the population that I will be working with and I am trying to think of ideas that will be great for what I want to do. I will also contact people I know about ideas and writing those down as well. If anyone has any ideas on better ways to serve the elderly population please hit me up on here or by phone. All ideas are welcome. Stay blessed and thanks for reading!!!

Nothing like Friends, Fine Wine, & Gr8 Conversations

Today was a great day. I left from a chapter meeting and went out to eat with some friends and it felt like I was in one of those Black movies. lol. But in a good way though, We talked for hours and hours about everything from fashion, family, and relationships. I like the friendship that I have gained and developed from with these women,. I really enjoy listening to them, mainly because I am one of the youngest in the group and they give gr8 advice and they always a pleasure to be around. Do you have a group of girlfriends that inspire and motivate you?
