5 Things-That Got Me Through The Week!

So the lovely Kimberly over at Femmes With Benefits[FWB] did a post on 7 things that got her through the week...
I'll be sharing 5 things that got me through the week....


1. God) There was some unnecessary drama I got sucked into via Facebook 0_o "Where they do that at?" It was so childish. How an innocent comment went south. Lol. I can laugh about it now, because at the time I was really upset just how it ALL played out. God got me through it & a few close friends. But I owe it to Him because he has allowed me to move on from the situation. It takes a lot for me to move from certain things..whether it was a touchy, sensitive, angry subject.

2. Medicine) Omg, I think my kids at work got me sick this week. I seen it ALL playing out in my head Monday when one of the kids at my job kept sneezing, then one girl who had been absent because she was sick, was coughing. I had to remind them to cover there mouths. And chileeeee. My allergies started acting up, The next day I got a sore throat, and now I'm coughing. All it takes is for me to have one thing wrong (earache, sore throat, allergies) before everything in my body goes CRAZY & triggers my Asthma....man "That sh*t cray" ::in my Kanye West voice:: lol


3. Packages) I've been waiting on 4 different packages that I either won from giveaways ( weeks, months ago) & a order I made on the E.L.F. website during their Labor Day free shipping deal. I'll be talking about that stuff on my beauty website www.glamnolabelz.com


4. Candy) Chileeeee, I'm on this protein diet (If you haven't read about it, check it out HERE) & I didn't know how hard this mess would be. But, I can say that it has been a great challenge. I'll be posting my views on it later. And I know candy isn't any better because of ALL the sugar we consume...


5. Music) Other than God, who is first before anything else. Music really truly gets me through a lot. I mean..it's universal and we can all relate to it in some sort of way. I had to play a few Kanye, Jay Z, Rihanna & The Weeknd's songs to get me going or through this week.


Sigh, very fun post! Be my guest on posting your 5 things that got you through the week. This was fun. I may do this every so often. My life isn't that eventful so making it a routine wouldn't work lol...

Change Of Plans: Employed...Better Relationship With HIM

I thought I share a little of the good news my way. I am now employed! Yes! God is amazing. I've been praying & meditating about so many things in my life. Just having a better connection with Him has opened my eyes.


The whole school thing didn't work out in my favor, & that's fine because it wasn't a MUST just something to do in the meantime. But I would have also benefited from it as well. Nothing is on the back burner just going forth with certain things first.


God had a different plan for me & that's fine, his way is the best way. We tend to map out & plan things in our lives but when we're thrown for a loop we usually don't accept it. Well, I'm accepting this with open arms & can't wait to see what else he has in store for me.

"Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done"- Philippians 4:6

I deserve all the good that comes my way & much more. I guess having some...yes SOME patience is rewarding. There was a time I thought I wouldn't be able to catch a break. But it's my time to shine & take center stage. That's exactly what I'm doing.


My job...I won't talk about much just for ethical reasons. But, I am working with kids/mentoring. Getting paid to do something that I love. I also get the chance to be creative & learn quit a few things along the way for MY mentoring program for girls. Now that school is back in session, I have a few speaking engagements (HS, & Middle) at my Alma maters. How cool right? So, while I'm handling business I'll be recruiting as well.


All I can do is thank God for every blessing. It had nothing to do with ME. Sigh...I am living proof that if you stick by him & do good, he will bless you. 


Be a blessing to someone & be blessed. But never allow that to be your reason for receiving blessings in return...

"3 But when you give to someone in need, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. 4 Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything will reward you"- Matthew 6:3,4

No need to let the whole world what you've done for someone else. Our kindness doesn't go unseen. Still reminding myself that... :)

College Graduate...Unemployed...Taking A New Turn!

So this recession is a KILLER. No seriously! People have committed suicide...& killed their family because life took an unexpected turn (I read this sometime last year)...Well God bless them, I'm nowhere near that situation. But I know the feeling of not financially being where you want to be, or think you should be etc.


I've worked hard & LONG for my degree only to wait...wait..& wait for a job opening. Oh & apply, but don't get a call back...oh & if you get that call back, get an interview but don't get the job ::face in palm:: I can't take it!!!!


Okay, well anyways...I'm thinking about taking up a new hobby...and maybe interning (sad face) somewhere just to add things to my resume. I mean why not? If any time is better why not now? The big move out of state doesn't look like it'll happen anytime soon, nor that dream job. So, I have to do what I gotta do.


But either way I'm restricted. The area I live in isn't equipped for individuals like me. Ambitious, creative, young, motivated individuals. There aren't many opportunities here. I would have to drive 30mins (the least) to get my foot in a door out of 15...smh. God is definitely by my side through this long haul. I graduated in Dec 2010 & I have yet to get anywhere. So lame.


I want to do something creative. Maybe become a mini-entrepreneur or teach a class of some sort (workshop). I haven't gotten far as to WHAT I want this to be. So, I'm going back to the drawing board & see where that leads me. I def. have a side hustle that's legal...lol, but it's not enough to feel comfortable.


Anywho...any other suggestions, ideas out there?
