What a day

Today was gooooood. I signed my contract today. I will probably go to the school tomorrow. Maybe, depends on how I am feeling. I am too excited about the pay increase. I'm gone be rich! So after I realized that I am going to be rich, I continued my apartment search. I narrowed it down to two. Ok, three. I am looking at two one bedrooms and a two-bedroom. I really don't need that two bedroom, but I want it. Common sense tells me to go with the cheaper one bedroom bc it is nice and in a good neighborhood, but that bougie part of me that creeps out sometimes wants the more expensive , roomier one. I really don't need two bedrooms bc I'm not expecting much company. I think I am going to go with the smaller one bedroom and be sure to buy a couch with a bed. Yeah, that's what I am going to do and sleep on it until I get a bedroom set. Ha. That was easy. Anyway, I got a haircut today! It is all gone! Literally. I like it; I really do, but I wanted it to be a little messy and I didn't get that. If I play with enough, if will look messy. It's so cute. I look like a whole different person. I caught a glimpse of myself getting out of the shower and had to do a double take. I'd forgotten that fast, but all did was smile in the mirror! RR said I look like someone who went to Tougaloo in the 60s. I told her I'm about to start a revolution! You know what, I think it's abot to be a revolution for real. That's one of the reasons I am going to law school! I know it sounds crazy, but I can feel it! So anyway, tomorrow, I go back to studying for the LSAT. I haven't picked up the book all week because I have been ascertaining that everything was in order for work and school. I've also been apartment hunting. But all I have left is deciding on an apartment. I need to study for the TEXES, but I am sure I'll do fine!

Ask

When the year began, I asked God to remove those people from my life that have not meant me any good. He has removed three people and I thank Him dearly. With each of those people, I was lying to myself and losing a part of me to better accomodate them. So I thank Him for that. But now, I am at a point where I don't know I don't know if I will be ok with this next loss. I must say none of these are physical. Thank God. All are emotional. Now, I am about to have to say goodbye to someone I would lay down my life and die for and I don't know how I am going to deal with that. At this very moment, all I want to do is hold him and tell him that I love him and everything will be ok. I can't though because I'm in Texas. Even if I wasn't, I wouldnt do it. I don't know how to be that supportive when I love someone as much as I love him. I don't know how I am about to deal with this. I need God. I know He will bring US out, because it's really not about me, but I just wish this situation never aroused and He didn't have to bring us out.

I love you with all that is in me.

church and mingling and LSAT

OK...I am midway through the week and it has been good! Church was so good Sunday, I went back tonight. The only church I have ever gone to on Wednesday is my own, not for prayer meeting, bible study, revival, nothing! So this church must be wonderful! The preacher is absolutely wonderful! Sunday's sermon was about homosexuality and though I didn't think he was talking about me, he did a wonderful job with his deliverary. What I liked most was that though he condemned homosexuality, he didn't condemn the homosexuals. He said it was an evil spirit living within that person and they just needed God/Jesus to deliver them from it. I liked that. He went on to say that we all have evil spirits and we all need God to deliver them from us. So tonight, he preached about a man who had a spirit living within him. (MARK 5) He didn't go in detail, but the man was cutting himself, so to me, that just solidfies that the devil comes to kill and destroy. When the man saw Jesus, he ran up to him and sparked a conversation. So, to me, that means the man wanted help. All Jesus said was "Demons come out." (paraphrasing here) Then He asked the man his name. The devil replied, I am Legion. For we are many." So, to me, when one spirit possesses you, it invites others to do the same. For example, when you have a lustful spirit, you have a tendency to have a fornicating spirit. So anyway, the spirits came out of the man and possessed 2,000 pigs. All of those spirits were in that one man. No wonder he was cutting himself. The pigs then drowned in the sea and assumingly, the spirits drowned with them. The man was so glad he wanted to follow Jesus, but Jesus told him no and to go spread the good news. Anyway, he said that we all need to tell our spirits to get out and walk closer to God. He said that some of us don't tell our spirits to leave because we have become comfortable with them. He also said that by definition, demons cannot possess Christians, they just trespass. He said they cannot possess us bc possess means to own and we are bought with a price already, so the best they can do is trespass. In the the midst of that, they try to get us to do evil things because again, Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy. So before, we let satan do those things, we need to tell him to get out! What I am trying to say is that church was good!


Tomorrow, I am going to Cocktails and Conversations. I have been saying that I was going since I got here, but for some reason, I haven't. I promise myself that I am going tomorrow. If I don't go home Friday, I am going to an open mic Friday and Saturday. I can't really enjoy myself if I don't get out and mingle. So I have been conversing with some sorors and I expect to meet some more of them tomorrow! After that, I should enjoy more of Houston.

I have been studying for that darn LSAT. Whew! It is difficult. I purchased a prep book and took the diagnostic test. On the reading part, there are 27 questions and I answered 21 of them correctly! GO ME! On the logical reasoning, there are 24 questions, and I got 6 correct! NO ME! I didn't even get halfway through it. I was timing myself like I was actually taking the test. SO yesterday, I spent 8 hours practicing the logic games. I can solve them now, but I'm still not quick enough. Today, I spent 2.5 hours on the logic games and I plan to study some more before I go to bed. It is really hard and I am for real struggling. It's cool though. I have until September 30, so I should improve some. I need to get like a 160, I guess. I don't really know what's good and what's not. I'm going to continue prepping myself and see how I do.

OK...I hate when people can't just tell me how they feel. That is super annoying. As adults, it seems like we should be able to say what's on our minds. Damn.

Home sweet home

I have had so much fun this past week. Rarely ever do I go home and want to stay. My intentions were to leave on Wednesday, no later than Thursday. I just got here and it's Monday, 11 p.m. Last night, I decided to leave at 8 am. I left at 3pm. Then there was an accident on 10. I sat still for 30 minutes straight. Then when I finally did start moving, it was at a snail's pace. It took me 30 minutes to get 3.6 miles. So, that together is the reason it's 11 o'clock.

My folx had a block party on the 4th and it was wonderful. I started uploading the pics on facebook, but I got booted from the net. I will probably finish later. Anyway, LJ came to spenf the 4th with me and my folx. She looked so cute! It was good sitting and talking with her. Everybody stayed outside talking, playing cards, and dancing until about 10. Somebody bought some fireworks and put on a show for the little children. They were just smiling. Amaya made me stand with her because teh noise scared her. She thought they were pretty, but wasn't too fond of all that noise. At about 10,11, Rita, Netta, and I went to Krebs. Aww man, it was so many people out there. As usual I ran into people I hadn't seen in a while. We saw OJ. He ended up coming over to the house. That boy is so cute! Anyway, I stayed with Netta the entire time I was at home.
Oh yeah, Friday night, about nine of us went bowling. That was the best. I hadn't been bowling with a group in a long time. I went bowling on my birthday, but it wasn't a lot of people. We were playing boys against girls and we lost. The first time, we lost by about 20. The second time we lost by like 100. Either way, it was fun. We had a blast.
I spent all day Friday with Rita getting prepared for her baby's party. I bought her some cute little outfits from Children's Place. I tried to buy her a cake, but she wouldn't let me. I got my sister's baby something, too. I called my brother and his girlfriend to see what size my other neice wears, but neither answered the phone. Now that I think about it, they still haven't called me back! Anyway, Rita and I had a good time. I don't think I've spent an entire day with her since high school either. I love that girl so much. I didn't realize how much I missed her.

My sisters and I planned to take the children to Disney World at the end of the month, but we had a slight change of plans. My sister in Va. requested off for my father's birthday and is supposed to make a trip to MS. So maybe, we can go then. Or maybe, we need to shoot for Thanksgiving. I'll run that by them tomorrow. We need to do somehing. We haven't taken a family vacation since 2000. (I'd just graduated high school!)

Anyway, I just had to post about the wonderful time I had at home.
