God Works in Mysterious Ways

I've always known this....

Otherwise I'd be married to the liar/cheat/druggie I dated for a chunk of college living in the hill country, probably struggling to get by....

But because of the way things worked out I'm where I am today.

Sure my life's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination....

But if I had married Jackass (as I like to refer to him when I talk about him) I probably wouldn't have accomplished what I've done with my life.... I probably wouldn't have my current friends... My dog....

I learned a lot from that experience and I keep learning more (whether I want to or not sometimes...lol) about myself, and how strong I can be and how resourceful I am when I need to be.

In the last few monthes with all my money troubles I've learned a lot about myself and my family. I've learned to budget ALOT better and be more fiscally responsible.... Though I do need to work on some sort of savings plan still I'm doing ALOT better than I was 2 monthes ago.

I got a phone call from my sister tonight that money we've been expecting for a while FINALLY came in and she's going to deposit the check for me tomorrow (since we all use the same bank and have for YEARS they know the entire famdamily but I told her if she had any trouble to give me a call). Then I can pay back money I owe my mom, and start a savings account, so that a. I'll have a safety net if my checking account ever goes apeshit again, and b. I'll have a savings account started so I can start saving money on a normal basis....

And if I hadn't gotten into so much trouble, I wouldn't have learned anything that I learned and I wouldn't have made plans for savings or budgeting or anything....

So God really does work in mysterious ways..... :)
