Well, well, well.....

Just when I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel....here comes another train! But I'm alive and well and that's the most important thing to me, period! Sicilia had to have surgery in March, broke my heart that it happened. She swallowed a few plastic bags, a screw, and a few other pieces of junk. It was at the time I changed her dog food. I changed it back to her old food and nothing thus far (PRAISE GOD). It cost me $1500 to get her fixed! It was so worth it though. If I never started this debt journey, I would have never been smart enough on how to arrange the financing on it. I told them to put $500 on CareCredit (which I was approved for) with no interest for 6 months. Then after the 6 months, I will just make an arrangement to pay the vet office every month until it is paid off. I had to have new rotors on my car, which that cost $253 (Thankfully, 6 months no interest).  So I am basically back over $2400 in debt, BUT I am learning how to be patient and frugal with everything. I am using more coupons, getting less gas, less groceries, etc.

Now, on to the other news that happened in March right after Sicilia's surgery (how convenient, right?), I find out my job is moving to Fairburn, GA (which my commute will change from a 7 mile commute to a 47 mile commute-one way!). So at the end of this lease, assuming I am still there and everything is ok with God :) I am moving to the southside of Atlanta. I feel I am done with this area and it is time for me to move on with my life and let God show me new avenues so I don't drag the OLD stuff behind me and I start all fresh and new. It's exciting but scary at the same time. I am ready for a nice new fresh start and ready for God to show up and show out!! So after I inquired about breaking my lease or transferring to another complex, they decided it was convenient for them to charge me the pet deposit I owe them, $300. UGH! *gasp* *choke* Rachael and Keith are talking about moving to Louisville, KY after their lease is up in November, as mine is as well. So lots of changes which make lots of things exciting but scary at the same time.

I just need to keep seeking God in all of this and let him show me the way! So whoever out there is reading this, please pray for my safety and God's will on my life.
