2011 is Here!!!

Well it's the New Year and I'm excited about it but I'm more calm about it then I was about 2010. I think, I'm easing into this year because I'm expecting it to be more spectacular than last year.  I'm expecting to reap all the benefits from all of my hard work from last year. So far this month I have gone on 3 auditions, got one call back but didn't book because I looked too young.  I wasn't up set about not booking anything yet because the year just started and looking too young for a part isn't always a bad thing. It does mean longevity in the industry and that is what I really want. I want to be able to perform the rest of my life. There are some things so far this year I definitely want to accomplish and that is paying my tithes first. So I have decided that as soon as I get paid I will pay my tithes first - online- that way it can come out of my account asap. Then I will pay my rent, then the rest of the bills.  So far so good. The weight of not having enough money didn't bother me this time because I did the right thing and put God first instead of nickel and diming, which isn't good at all. The funny thing is at Church this past Sunday, the guest preacher Rev Trimm stated that she had a curse on her finances because she wasn't paying her tithes and it is true and scripturely sound, because it says you will reap sparingly if you sow sparingly and you will be cursed with a curse. I know that is true for me because at the end of the year I always ended up with nothing - 2010 was the hardest financially for me. I had been borrowing money ever other week and over drafting my account for months, The bank was richer because of all my over drafts, but no more. I'm working my way to getting out of debt and the only way is to do the right thing.  The pastor said all fortune 500 companies tithe.  The CEO has a vision and the workers help the vision to come to life, it's the energy that is used. the mind, imagination & the vision is what makes people successful. Not those who work with their hands because the energy is limited to your physical state. But your mind energy is so great because it's unlimited energy. So in order for my vision to come to life, I have to put things in order and perspective. Render Unto God what belongs to Him 10 cents of every dollar. That's not a lot. Especially when folks are quick to buy LV bags, Chanel jewelry, DVDs, go out to eat, etc. if you can spend money on a movie you can pay your tithe.  So that's what I'm going to do.  Watch how things develop and change in my finances.  The pastor did call everyone up to the alter who wanted the curse lifted off their finances, man, I couldn't get there fast enough. So when she prayed for the release of the curse and said the old things have past away and forgotten, I knew that I was released. So now all things are possible when you believe. The one thing I do have to say, even though I was picking at my tithes as the pastor called it - God still gave me grace because I always had just enough. Even if I borrowed it.  Plus I had just enough to learn my lesson. LOL - so to speak. I'm going to be consistent and do the right thing.  There will be blessings from Heaven in 2011.  Be strong, stay true and I will keep you updated.  The film is coming along fine just a few bumps but I will discuss that at the Kubbic Inch Blog.
