Free Stuff!

God is so good.

I'm not *loving* being a cashier at Wal-Mart, but I do however love the money in the bank. Just when I wasn't sure if I was even going to be able to come back to USF due to financial reasons, both my mom and I got jobs and my dad's work as a stock-broker picked back up and I believe that God wanted us to look only to Him to provide the means of making money. I stopped relying on my good grades and my own "good" character and got on my knees and begged for a way to help my family out and He did. I'm so grateful and I don't want to lose sight of that. I have to think about this often because of how customers treat me on a regular basis. Basically, I'm treated like a piece of crap. It's humbling to just look people in the eye after they're rude to you when you've done NOTHING wrong and then apologize to THEM for it. I don't plan on working here for a long period of time or anything, but while I'm working here I don't want to make the experience meaningless. I was desperate for the work and HE provided, and along with that, He's testing my patience and I'm having to humble myself every day in ways I never thought I'd put up with.



Another note: I love free stuff. Stacy is moving into her new apartment and she is giving away some furniture. She gave me her black IKEA table and it's sooo adorable in our place! She also generously gave me her chair and will be giving me the matching rug for the living room. It's nice to have grown-up friends ;)


I'm pretty tried right now but I wanted to write because I haven't in a while. Until next time when I have the energy and will power---
