I Can Pay My Own Bills!

Image
Anyone who knows me understands that I love the Lord. You may also know that I didn't grow up in church so I have a deep love for 90's and early 2000's R&B too. Hey! No judging! Everything from Usher to Brandy, Blackstreet and Dru Hill to the sultry sounds of Toni Braxton....love them all! So I was listening to my Destiny's Child  greatest hits CD not too long ago and as I was skipping by "Say My Name" I heard the intro to "Bills, Bills, Bills". BTW, Destiny's Child is the group that starred Beyonce'...ok now that we got that out of the way.  I listened for a while then continued to skip through (I think I was looking for "Girl") then I heard the intro to "Independent Women". "Ok J, we're glad you have an appreciation for Destiny's Child but what is your point?" I'm so glad you asked :-) Some of the lyrics to "Bills, Bills, Bills" are: Can you pay my bills? Can you pay my telephon

I said I was going to be transparent, right? That may have been an understatement. Gen 2:18: The Lord God said "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him".

I did not date in college...I did waste valuable time on people who didn't deserve it...but no exclusive dating. I "talked" to people (whatever that means) but I couldn't get pass the talking phase. It may have had something to do with settling and not knowin

How do you work this thing?

So I've been dragging my feet to get this done for a while. My hands are pretty full with school, ministry, and a business but I hear this is therapeutic so here we go...I get told a lot that I say things that other people want to say but can't (that gets me in trouble sometimes teheheheehe). My blog will be no different...I want to talk about everything but of course we're keeping it classy here. My main themes are my 3 S's. SAVED, SINGLE, and SUCCESSFUL. I'll be happy to address certain things as interest arises but most of all I just want to be real. I do not promise to blog everyday but once a week will probably be more of my speed lol. Just in case you don't know me...here is a quick overview: 25 year old entrepreneur, I love the Lord, working on a Ph.D, and really just trying to make my print in this world. That's the short version but you'll learn more as we go. I'm only interested in being positive and transparent. I may consider a vlog
