M O N E Y

I landed a Temp. position at U of M Hospital! FINALLY!! I worked there last summer as a temp and loved every minute of it..but this summer I'm going to be doing a different job! Lets just pray they keep me in as permanent! They pay really good, so I'm blessed! This position will also give me an oppurtunity to build my resume! I want to work as a SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST at U of M Hospital one day!! This just shows that God truly does hear and answer prayers! I love him so much..! Sometimes I wish I could just reach up and hug God sometimes..lol

So even though I don't start for a week or two, I keep thinking about what I'm going to spend my very first check on!! Yippee!!

1. Pay my tithes- 10% Wouldn't want my money to be cursed

2. Put some in my bank account. I need to save for books for next semester....a birthday present for my Mom and SO..and for my car accident that I got into IN NOVEMBER!!! ( its not HORRIBLE..but still.. I want my car to be flawless)

3. Do a little investing...lol I know NOTHING about true financial investing, but maybe I'll buy a C.D and let my money GROW on me..

4. Buy Hair care products.. Mmm.. I need a new staple Shampoo and Conditioner.. and A Staple Moisturizer..Other than my Mango Butter.. A N Y S U G G E S T I O N S????

5. SHOP!! New spring dresses,flip flops, halters, and Bermuda shorts would be so H-O-T!!

6. Maybe save up for a trip with my besties..:-)

Oh! I am so excited about MONEY,life, and this new JOB!! Thanks for everyone who did pray and encouraged me!!

WOOOOOOWWWW I'm so much in shock right now it's unbelieveable! Ok let me begin by saying that when I read your blog I thought it was very refreshing!! It almost reminded me a little bit of me when I was 20, however you seem a bit more spiritually grounded then I was back then (I'm 28yrs old)

I'd also like to say that your response to my "To Wed or Not To Wed" post was so touching and inspiring that I read it several times and it got me all excited to be reminded that God has set a part someone special just for me! The word "butterflies" made me feel happy and hopeful... SO thank you soo much....You have no idea! You seem like so wise beyond your years (I had my sisters read too lol)

Now to arrive at the most shocking part of all is that I came back to your page and found that you posted that you found a temp job! Boy was I exicted! Amen to that!! But I was floored to find out that you want to become a Speech Language Pathologist!!

I'M A SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST!!!!!!!! :-0 WOWWOOOOWWWWWOOOOWW If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me! I'm super excited! Yayyyyyyyy ok I'm going to head to bed!!

congratulations.

what does it say about me that i do not pay tithes. my money is cursed, isn't it? *sad face*

Kelle Michelle said...

@Don...Yes! Unfortunately you and your money is cursed according to the Bible. But dont fret! You can start now!!! God always gives us a second chance!

>>>Malachi 3:8-11 “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, In what way have we robbed You? In tithes and offerings.
(9) You are cursed with a curse, For you have robbed Me, Even this whole nation.
(10) Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this, Says the LORD of hosts, If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.
(11) And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field, Says the LORD of hosts;”<<<

@Just wondering- Thank you so much for encouraging me!I definitely give all the glory to God for the wisdom that I have so far.. BUt thanks for noticing!! Yay!! God is usuing me! What a blessing!!

Yes! I THINK ( notice the emphasis on think) I want to be a speech pathologist. The only reason why I have doubts is because of how uncomfortable I get around young children with mental/physical/emotional/social issues and I think I would end up being so depressed instead of satisfied with my performance on the job. I have been praying about it so hopefully God will lead me! Do you have any advice for me when going into this field?

Congrats on your summer job......Girl you get hired for full time just have faith...

Hey Kelle,

It's interesting how you mentioned that you feel uncomforatble around children with disabilities because when I got into graduate school I was convinced that I would never work with children and I'd focus on working soley with adults! God proved me wrong and made me realize that my gift really was with children. Every single time I tried to avoid working with them I got "stuck" with them! lol

During my 1st job interview with a school district I said I want to work with HS students..got the job and they said we really need you in preschool (argghhhh really...ok) So i did that with kiddies ages 3-5. Then got another job and said I want 3-5yrs and they were like WELLL we need you to work with children below 3 (argghhhhh that's like working with a walking baby!!!) Ok...I guess I do it. I've been told that I'm really good with the walking babies lol but after all that I found my niche--> Preschool! I found that I love laying down the foundation with those children.

I also feel a sense of Joy UNimaginable when a child starts off not say a word to speaking in sentences by the end of 1-2 years! I've used the gift that God gave me to help these kids so they can communicate...So continue to pray! If God has led you to the field He will guide you in the right direction... so follow Him!

Are you currently majoring in speech?

Amen! This is my first visit to your blog. Hearing your excitement, though, let's me know that there must've been some struggle. Thank God for answering prayers.

I'm glad to see that you are giving Him back His 10%. Since I started tithing a few years ago, I have never lacked. Think I may blog about that next Sunday.

Congratulations on your new job and paycheck! I'm starting from the bottom and going up...catching up on what I've missed! LOL

As far as investments go, instead of opening a regular savings account, put your mula in a money market account. You'll yield more interest on your mula!! =) Make sure there is no minimum amount to put in that's above what you currently have...never ever pay a monthly fee! There are too many banks out here that don't charge anything. You may also want to think about opening an online savings account like an ING account. Eventually you may want to start a mutual fund instead of opening a lot of CDs you get more ROI.

OK! That's my financial advice for the day! =)

@Traycee - Thank you!! Faith is definitely a MUST

@Just Wondering - No. I am currently undecided. For the first , and only, 2 years of my college career I have been a French major. ( Very odd i know) But I confused my love for the language with a PASSION for the language. I have been fasting and praying about my major and my career profession.. and I did some soul searching.. I love kids!! And I love articulation.. I love grammar.. I love sentence structure and all that the world of the english language entails... Not just the act of formulating the words correctly. I thought about teaching before but I have been aprhensive about it because of what teachers actually MAKE.. OMG!.. (but thats neither here nor there.. and another blog for me to write about)..Sorry for getting you so excited..but I dont think Speech language pathology is for me..*sigh* *shrug* Decisions...

@ Jewells - Yes tithing definitely isnt an option for me. Its all about the sacrifice.

@Malibu - Wow!! Yay!! I have new things to research.. Thanks for that *wink*
