Something a friend said last night really brought to the forefront of my mind something I'd been thinking of for the past week or so. I've really been feeling lime my life is in "idle" gear, and generally when I feel that way, it's 'cause something's not right in my walk with God. It occurred to me about a week ago, that I hadn't been keeping up with my tithe. At all. Now there's no law about tithing, as some might say. It's simply an amount, be it money or time or something else or all of the above. For me, I've worked it out many ways and talked with God, and I feel in my heart that 10% (a pretty standard rule of thumb) is the right amount for me to set aside for God. That doesn't mean I always put it in the offering plate at church, though sometimes I do. Often I'll donate it to a religious or community charity on God's behalf, or even devote it to my own personal spiritual growth. Anyhow, according to my spreadsheet that keeps track of all things in my life financial, I owed God about $90. So I bit the bullet today and worked out exactly what courses I was going to audit at Vision Bible College. It's not set in stone yet, but the bill worked out to $100. So I'd just decided on classes and wrote an email to see if there were any fees I was missing, and was just filling out an application to Staples (and talk about scary! They kept mentioning scary words like "résumé" and "salary" o.0 ) when the phone rang. It was my oft-silent (particularly of late) temp agency. I hadn't even called in this morning to get myself on their call list! Anyhow, they had a job for me, one that will last all through the summer. Details as I get them verified. But it looks like I'll be putting in lots of hours. And if my calculations are correct, it'll pay for a goodly portion of my college experience! :-3 *bouncebounce* Yaaayyyy!!!!

Okay, so my calculations weren't even close....but it looks like it'll pay off at least a year of college. And since I plan to be working during the school year, I should be just fine! :-3
