So I did it the first semester is down of my prereqs. How do I feel? Elated never knew I could really do it until I did it. But needless to say this was the easy part next semester it will be Chem I and Biology II. So say a little prayer for me... IF I make it free health care for all. IF I don't make it I will figure out how to write a policy and still get it done! onward upward look out 2011 here we come!!

Feelings
We see in the distance our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out
in and out
in and out
of time. -Maya Angelo

How to face your giant
This was the title of a sermon my pastor did a few months back. But everyday I receive a daily devotion from his desk . For the last few days it has been based on his sermon How to face your giant. So at the end of the devotion we always have a little assignment. Today's was to write a declaration to reassure yourself that you are never alone. I wrote one today and I just wanted to share it with you all. Here is the actually devotion and assignment followed by my declaration! (a statement that is emphatic and explicit)
Assignment: Read Psalm 91:1-3 and Psalm 118:4-9; then write a declaration to reassure yourself that you are never alone because the God who is enabling you to face your giant is your ever present Help and Deliverer who will not abandon you.
I am never alone. I am always under the guidance of the most high - God. He shall see me through no matter what. He will deliverer me from my enemies. He will keep me in perfect peace. He will always be there to hold me up when I cannot do so for myself. I am never alone, forgotten, or forsaken.
-Bless God.
That was my declaration.. What's yours? Please share...

From the Sermon: How to Face Your Giant
Undefeated. When David was at his best, nobody could beat him. And when David was in his worst, nobody could beat him. That's a snapshot of our lives, because sometimes we're good; sometimes we're at our worst. But it never caused God to distance himself or abandon himself.

Rediscovering Me
I was so mad I wanted to spit. On Friday I got into a little confrontation with a nice young lady in the parking lot of Chevy's. She cut me off in the parking lot and then decided she was going to cuss at me. When the nice young lady did this I snapped I saw red! I politely parked my car and followed this nice young lady into the store; I then proceeded to yell at the top of my lungs every ghetto euphemism I could muster in my body. DAMN IT I was mad. After my episode was over I felt like a new person. That one little scene mad me realize that somewhere along the way I had lost myself.
I was no longer that edgy person. My mind started to race when did I lose my edge. Was it when I moved back to DC or was it when I graduated? Was it when I got tired of people telling me I was too rude and blunt? Why was I conforming??
Well I am taking my edge back. I am a fighter and I win end of story. I want to have control over my life again. So I am no longer sitting back and waiting for things to happen. I am grabbing this bull by the horn and I am in the ring with it. I may come out bruised and battered but at least I was in the fight.
Over the last two months I have learned I have more strength then I ever thought I knew I had. It came from my inner most parts and I thankful for that. I realize now that just because I make myself a top priority doesn't mean people will like me any less and if they do then that is their fault not mine.
And to prove that I am still in the fight I have two job interviews this week. Yes, I just started a new job, but I truly believe God wouldn't given me these new opportunities if they were not right for me. So I am taking a chapter from one of my friends and I am trying something new. I thank her for not just saying it but being a living example. So folks remember FIGHT for what you want and for who you want to become. Life is a Journey not a destination.
Until next time I am still the southern girl living in the city
Rediscovering myself and life!!!
Peace and Blessings....

Life as we know it
Well I have always had this grand idea of how my life should be and while the ideas are still grand I have a more realistic idea of how my life will be. I will be the first to admit I haven't always made the greatest decisions with my money, but i am learning.
In the past two months I have had such an array of emotions, I have been sad, depressed, defeated, happy, anxious, and anything else you can think of. I am going through a major transition in life right now. I see how I want my life to be and I am trying to make the moves for my life to get there.
I had no idea a quarter life crisis was suppose to last two years. Every since I turned 25 it seems like the stable life I once led has cease to exist. It seems like things were so simple before 25. I always had money, little debt and for the most part I was carefree. I had big dreams and an even bigger plan for my life. SO in two years what the hell happen. Did I just fall into a rut?? I am not sure but life as I know it needs to come back to me.
I find myself in the same predicament I was a year ago. Facing the possibility of not having a pay check coming in. And I am scared shitless. I have no idea what I will do or how I will make it.
( I have a fear that I will be living in my car and ruin my credit that I worked so hard forand never own a home)
But there is some beauty in all of this. 365 days later I am in a better place, last year when I was facing the possibility of not having a job, i was anxious, bitter and angry. This year I have face the challenge head on and trust solely in God that I will make it through this. I have been interviewing so my prayer is that someone hires me quickly lol. But if they don't I know that it is God's plan for me. SO I am at peace and waiting for life to return as I know it....
Until next time I am the southern girl living in the big city... searching for a job
Peace and blessings!

Emotional Unstable and Moody
So I got in trouble today at work. I was accused of not liking my job and being unreliable. I agree to an extent but it is not all completely true.
Now I will be the first to admit I have a hard time getting to work on time, so I am unreliable in that regard. But emotional unstable I just do not get that part and that is what I told my counterpart who decided to reprimand me. She explained that some days I come into work and say very little and other days I come in and talk all day. I have learned a very valuable lesson today, people are going to view you very differently then how you view yourself, you must constantly make changes to make sure you are playing the work game correctly and being accountable. But on the flip side I was told that I do wonderful work expect for the occasional small mistake, which I am working on not making. So now once again I have to prove myself but it is no ones fault but my own. I want a good reference when I leave :)
So I will do my best to become more realiable. I am not perfect but I am striving to be better in life. It is so funny I can hear my mom saying Kimberly you know better, and you of all people who have issues with time, being late you should be ashame of yourself and I am. But I am working on it.
Anyone else have a hard time on their job or is everyone else just perfect LOL
until next time I am still the southern girl living in the big city learning to be more realiable.
peace and blessings.

Growing up is so hard to do...
So financial hardships have forced me to grow up. I am currently looking for a roommate and I hate it. I keep thinking about my one and only roommate from college, she was a lovely girl we just were not suited to live together. I know that I could continue living on my own and make it from pay check to pay check, but that is no way to live. So I am putting on my big girl panties and searching for a roommate.
I have one person who is a friend of mine that has agreed to let me move in with her, not sure if I want to go that route. Ugh I love my space so much and this is going to be the hardest thing I think I have ever had to do, but I am sure the benefits will out way my annoyance right? (insert five year old fit here)* I feel like I am moving backwards instead of forwards. I have lived on my own for three years; now I am searching for a roommate or maybe it is just the grown up thing to do, so I can have a realistic savings account and go gallivanting across the country. Who knows, we shall see. (I think that is a run on ohh well)
Anyone else ever felt like this?
Until next time I am the Southern Girl Living in the big city searching for a roommate.
Peace and Blessings.
* Me throwing my fit. I could not find a brown child go figure!
