$500 Extra Dollars

This was a blog post I finished about six months ago: thought you all would get a kick out of it ~ Cheri

Earlier this year, I, in my right mind decided to give 80% of my money away.

It was hilarious.

If you are ever in need of a good day just give out $100 bills randomly to people who need it, it is better than coffee. (smaller currency = less fun).

Then United States of America decided to veg out and entered a recession. I will be honest I had no idea how "a recession" would effect my life. Now I know. It means less money and more time on your hands to spend the money you do have.

Then life in general entered a recession: Verity ran out of napkins, my computer committed suicide, my brother came to live with me, a rather pricey insurance bill, missing clothes, key friends experiencing the death of a loved one, other key friends having medical issues, all other key friends having death of visions etc.

I quickly came to a fork in the road: Worry or Trust God.

Just as quickly I realized the fork in the road in the road was only a tricky optical illusion because money could not really fix the problem anyway- Trusting God was only road actually available.


Then I went to the dentist and all my teeth fell out. Just Kidding! But I was informed my wisdom teeth were coming in sideways and needed to be removed post haste. I had a minor lapse of "trusting in God" and melted into a puddle of weeping jello outside the Verity Campus. It was humbling.

Two weeks later it was business as usual- I cleaned Dr.McCray office, got some hot chocolate, turned on my lights, found a $100 bill on my keyboard (emphasis on the 100). Ran over to Adam's office to tell him, sat back down at my desk, found another $100 bill in my flower arrangement! Ran back over to Adam's office to tell him, went down to check my mailbox for any memos, found

FIFTEEN TWENTY DOLLAR BILLS

in my mailbox!!! Ran down the hall to find Cameron and Beka, and told them what had happened, went into shock, revived... sat still and Thanked God for a long time.

This week- now at home- I went to the dentist for the "psych you out before the surgery" visit and he took X-rays and said all my wisdom teeth were coming in straight- and they might have sent the wrong X-rays to the other dentist- no reason to take them out- etc etc etc. I ran back into the waiting room to tell my mom, went into shock, revived...and now have the problem of $500 extra dollars in my possession.


The moral of the story: God has it covered enjoy.
