$43.05

Last week was a week of dramatic learning curves.
I had a major break through when it came to preparing for Wednesday Night bible study, then a sudden falling out with my concentration and focus. I was deeply inspired and impassioned to use what God had shown to me, and then I was drained of all creativity and fire.
I finally received payment for work I did long before Romania, only to give it away to afford myself a laptop for school. No word, however, on when I'll be paid from the first fence I did, almost two months ago.
Lunch with Kevin was good, and encouraging. He taught me a lot about ministry that was sitting in front of my very face the whole time I just couldn't see it. We decided that I would procede with planning a retreat for the youth, however no word yet from Anahi, my spanish counterpart this summer, on when and/or where it's going down.
I've also been learning a lot about my faith -- specifically mine -- and where to go from here. I've decided I would like to get a job somewhere as an intern for a church, but I don't know where that could be. I'm open to God's guidance, as I've been learning all summer, but I don't have a clue where that is right now.
I also have no money. That came to me just now as I glanced up at the title line. That's how much money's sitting in my checking account right now. I have two checks in my room -- one for $95 or something and the other for $600. But as I said earlier, I just bought a laptop for school so that big one is gone, and the $95 just about covers what I'll be giving back to Lifepoint and maybe a pair of flip-flops. I need a job. I need money, really, but I'd like a job, or at least some sort of employment.
Okay, I'm out. Sorry if you were expecting something awe-inspiring, but this is more like an update. And I've got some Harry Potter to be finishing.
