What a Whirlwind

These last few days have been emotionally, mentally, and physically overwhelmingly. I have felt like I moved out here to Maryland and now that I am here, certain things aren't working out and it is extremely stressful and disappointing. 

Yesterday I was given the news that my financial aid won't be going through for at least 6 weeks. Which puts me in a position where rent isn't being paid, bills are piling up, and my schooling isn't getting paid for. Please pray that God gives me peace. It will all work out, it is just going to take time. 

On top of financial aid, I have the stress of school as a whole. Assignments are starting to come in and slowly but surely I am getting them done. On a more positive note, I found out that after this semester, all of my in-class classes will be complete and I can finish my degree from where ever I want. (Yes, going home to MN is an idea that I have been playing around with.)

Yesterday and today, I was reminded of the saying, "The grass isn't always greener on the other side." I can't help but wonder if God put me on the journey to show that no matter where you go in life, life isn't perfect. Everyday things aren't going to line up perfectly whether it is with school, work, or finances. 

In the end, God is good. He is going to be the one who gets me through this. In the morning I will wake up in a home that is full of love, a job where people encourage me daily, and a family that loves me no matter how far away they are.
