Ok, so my past week has been crappy...probably more than crappy, shitty would probably best describe it. Between finanacial problems, my Mom being her crazy self and school I was pretty much ready to give up last week. But on Saturday I decided to live in reality and face all the shit going on (because it's not going anywhere) and deal with it. This is a hard revelation for me even though it might seem quite simple for a lot of people, mainly because I like to hide from hard things in my life, I like to forget about them and then never touch them again. Now, I have to remember each day that they are there and slowly deal with them.
This has taken a lot of trust and dependence for me(and we are only 4 days into the whole deal) But I wanted to share something cool that happened today that might seem fairly insignificant and maybe a little weird. So money is really tight...I'm having problems figuring out how to pay my school bill, which leads to problems about buying groceries...etc. But Friends, have been great, countless people have bought meals for me, Meg, my roommate bought me some groceries and two of my favorite junk foods..twizlers and doubled stuf oreos:) and everyone has spent countless hours just hanging out to be there for me. I can honestly say my friends are probably the greatest in the world!
So lately I have been eating lunch at Alpha Chi, which is good because it saves me money in other areas but I debated not eating there today because I didn't really like the lunch they were having but as I was about to leave, two of the girls in my house were getting pink packages out of a box. Well I went over to investigate and they were tampon samples...ok so this may seem weird but it was exciting for me, because they were my favorite brand AND they were free AND I needed them AND I was just thinking about this morning how I needed some.
Needless to say it may have not been a God thing but it was a definite God thing for me. Maybe tomorrow God will provide deoderant?

Wow. I am speechless. I think guys laugh of the tampon thing because... well... it is still weird however you talk about. However, I am glad that people have your back and that even heavily manufacured synthetic paper products have a place in "god's plan"....
love you.

heehee, I'm not God, but I thought I would join the cause anyway... ;)

....if you can copy and paste in parts!
The very best thing you can do right now is print out this page and keep it for 20+ years, when your kids are in college and complaining that they have no money and they have no food to eat and no money to buy tampons with and - BAM - you produce this page that you wrote 20+ years ago, talking about the same thing. Then tell them they should pray! :)
(Trust me, things will get better girl. I've been there. Hope you don't mind me reading your blog. I got it from Megan's blog.)
