30 Something

I love going to the movies. There are several movies that I want to go to see:



This is gonna be a funny movie.



I need some action in my life.



Nice date night movie. But, I don't have a date :-)




I can't wait for Jack Sparrow. One of my favorite movie franchises.

Some other movies I want to watch this summer include:

Kung Fu Panda 2

Transformers

Hangover Part II

Post Script: I went to see Bridesmaid. ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!! It was WAY funnier than Hangover and Hangover II. I also went to see Pirates of the Carribean. I just love Captain Jack Sparrow. Even though I did miss Kiera Knightly and Orlando Bloom in this one.

I missed Jump the Broom and Fast Five. Well, Fast Five may still be showing. I'll see if I can check it out.

I haven't blogged much here because I have another blog. (Will share it here later), but a lot has transpired.

I've moved and I've been doing some decorating. I can't wait for my sofa at Slumberland.

Check it out:



I've been enrolled in the Midwives class at church. More info on that later. I've interviewed for an Asst. Director job at the local university. They are checking my references. I'm sure they only do that when they want you, so hopefully I'll hear from them soon. But, I don't think they want the person to start until July 1. The interview process was grueling--all day 8am-6:30pm. It was supposed to last until 5:30, but it went over. I was so exhausted. I even had to teach a lesson.

I didn't get accepted to the Ph.D program, but I'm still praying about what I want to do. If I get the job at the university, I will need to rearrange my goals a little.

Overall, God is so good to me!!! He loves me and I love Him.

So, today is my birthday and at first I wasn't too happy about it. Well, I was grateful that God woke me up and I was happy to see another year, but to look at myself and my life--I wasn't very happy. I told myself around this time last year, "I will not be in this situation, this time next year." And sure enough, look at where I am (was). I was in despair, despondent, depressed and oppressed mentally and emotionally. I allowed myself to do a 360 degree turn that ended me in the same mentality that I was in this time last year and because of that, I felt pathetic. However, GOD in HIS awesomeness made a way for me to pick myself up (with the help of others). I went to dinner with one of my mentors and she just laid it out plain to me, she said the same thing that my spiritual mom said to me--I have got to let go of my past--all the hurt, pain, shame, and unforgiveness. I've got to let it go. I can not move forward in my life because I'm stuck being the person who have done wrong and I feel I should be punished, so I punish myself emotionally by being negative about myself. I have not used the word of God to get past my past. My mentor told me to write a letter to myself telling myself that I forgive me. And then she told me to burn it symbolizing that it's over. Once it's burned, I can't put the ashed back together. That's something I'm gonna do. She also told me that I need to write a resume to Jesus. This resume would highlight my best qualities as it related to getting into the kingdom. I'm gonna do that.

She made a good analogy about how I've gone through school and now is getting ready to work on my Ph.D, but in the spirit, I'm still in kindergarten. I have not gotten out of kindergarten spiritually. Well, it's time for me to grow up and grow in the grace of God. He has forgiven me and He has given me His grace--it's sufficient for me, so I can love myself, forgive myself and be the woman of God that I'm supposed to be.

I THANK GOD for my mentors and my spiritual mom!!! Without them, I will still be stuck. So, on this day I commemorate my new life in Christ!! Today is my birthday and I've have been born again in Christ--Old things are past away and all things have become new. I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. Through Christ I can do all things. Everything that God made is GOOD and He made me, so He made a GOOD THING!!! THANK GOD.
