It's crazy to think that I will be 29 this week. This path that I have been on has really been something. I can't say that I am exactly where I thought I would be at 29...but, I do believe that I am walking according to God's plan for me. I've recently been getting back involved in church and have began to revisit my own spirituality and it has really gave me some additional strength that I didn't know I had.
Over the past couple of months, I have been faced with layoffs at my current job...which for a girl like me in a one income household has been scary. I embarked upon this journey and began a job search and am now proud to say that I am in the running for seven positions and will likely receive a job offer tomorrow for my number one choice. I have done countless phone screens and 5 in person interviews. My top pick (that I am expecting an offer from tomorrow) told me that they broke the candidates down from 16 to 3. I was very impressed. I also think I nailed the second interview and I know they were checking me out on Friday and calling all of my references. Today in church, the sermon was about faith and I definitely have faith that this new job will come through. I already feel very blessed that in this economy, I have had the luck that I have had in securing interviews. Oh, and...did I mention that this job would result in a 12 to 16k raise? I know that I am walking in favor.
So, while changing jobs is always scary...I am hopeful that this will be my last move for quite some time. So, now an update on the personal life...well, I had been dating this guy that I thought was very much so my ideal guy. I really thought I had struck gold...well, especially since he found me on Facebook...so, he essentially had just fallen into my lap. Well, lately...he is seeming more like fool's gold than anything else! Thus, my date for my birthday is my daddy and his fiance. I could be sad about that...but, I am just happy that someone cares enough about me to want to spend my special day with me...besides, next year is the big 30...so, that's when I will pull out all the stops!

You my dear are blessed and highly favored. I love you like you are my sister!
You know you are Blessed and highly favored. When God is working on you, He is working on him (your king) too. It may not seem like it, but it is a Blessing when you find fools gold early, before you spend too much time trying to mold it into the fold. Happy Birthday lil Sis.
Many Blessings on turning 29. Life has a way of throwing us a curve ball. Laugh and realize that on the other side, IT TRULY gets better. Thank God that he loves you so much that he wants to work on you so you are ready for the person he has for you. Happy Birthday again, and thirty is a great year...keep looking forward to it!
