How whenever you feel like you are getting ahead in life, something is there to rip you back to reality. For example, yesterday I get off work from the hotel, drive back to school pick up a check to be deposited into my bank account (a very large check), so I deposit the check, and as I am driving back to school I get into a car accident.
Its my fault. So, luckily the other vehicle wasnt damaged, but mine was - cosmetic, but expensive. So I had gone from this high of feeling that I was beginning to get ahead financialy, I turn a corner and WHAM! That entire check is now easily gone. We will see though. I have been praying that it will all work out and have minor expenses. We will see.
I guess the positive thing is that I realized that my priorities have been in the wrong place, and that my relationship with God has been suffering as of late. With everything that has been happening with the end of the school year, starting this new job, moving dorms for the summer and just transitioning to a new schedule and adjusting to the summer changes my devotional life has gone by the wayside. And somehow God is using this to help me evaluate myself and priorities and whatnot.
We will see. As of right now I am just praying that everything works out for the best and that I can get this situation behind ASAP.
