“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit.” – Pslam 34:18
One of our chapel services this year was about brokenness, and whomever the speaker was (Unfortunately, I can’t remember who it was.) said that the most beautiful gifts from God come from brokenness. I’m putting my faith in that because I am definitely feeling crushed in spirit.
I’m going to Canada this summer. The trip costs less than three thousand dollars for six weeks in Quebec. That includes everything except airfare. However, I did not know the original amount to be paid did not include plane tickets. Plane tickets to Quebec just so happen to be around four hundred dollars. That’s four hundred dollars I don’t exactly have hanging out in my wallet. The logical progression is to get a job, work hard, save up, and be fine.
Well, it might help if anyone would call me back. I’m sure something will work out; if not, if worse comes to worse, I’ll just take out a small loan. I’m okay with that idea, but I’d much rather work and have something lined up for this summer when I come back from Canada. Will someone please pray that a job works out? I need the prayers for certain … and a job definitely wouldn’t hurt ;).
I hate being stressed out over something as unnecessary as money, but I need to pay for this trip and have money enough to pay for everything else. Thank y’all so much for your good thoughts and prayers; I appreciate it.
Who knows? Maybe all this brokenness and stress will bring me the best part time job ever. Let’s hope so; I could use some cheering up right about now!
