Today I was able to sleep in again because I didn't have to be at work till 1:00. I didn't sleep in too long though I crawled out of bed around 9:30 or so. After waking up I showered and got ready for the day. Then had a nice devotion. Then I went out into town and did some major shopping today getting a bunch of things I needed. I had to make a stop at Best Buy and Raido Shack and Wal-Mart. I had to get some things for church and for my apartment. I was able to get the table I needed too. I unfortunally ended up having to spend lots of money to get all I needed. But on the bright side that should be all I need to buy for my house the whole summer. I'm pretty much done with buying things for a long while. After making the rounds at the stores I headed over to the Donneberg's on my way to work to stop in and feed the Newts. BJ is the only one there this weekend and I think she is uncomfortable feeding them.. so I said I could do it. I had to kind of run in and out though because I was running a little on the late side from shopping and I needed to get to work on time. But it all worked out and I made it with some time to spare. Work today again was pretty typical work wise and not much new happend.. there was something cool that happend sort of non-work related that I'll share in just a bit. So anyway after work I headed strait to Kroger to pick up some groceries and finally be done with my buying frienzy for the day. Like I said I shouldn't have to buy anything else for a good long while now though. But today I ended up spending $80.41 at Best Buy. $75.01 at WalMart. Luckily only $8.23 at Radio Shack. And then I spent $52.05 at Kroger. Thats a total of $215.70. It kind of stinks because I've been so short on cash lately too. But its amazing how God works everything out. Since the church is struggling lately that means we have to help out more finacially. For me it seemed like a really bad time for that to happen because if there is anytime I'm short on money that would be this month. I've had to spend over $1000 this month alone on various things ranging from missions trip, to rent, to all this stuff I needed to get today, Its been horrible. But I decided despite it all, I have to go out on a limb and still try and give above and beyond in order to help out the church as best I can. So I wrote a check today and just had it ready to go for sunday thinking.. "I'm not sure how this will work out.. but here you go Lord". Then amazingly God supplies left and right today. Today at work Andy wrote me a check for last week. (even though I wasn't here since I was in OK). Not only that, it was based on a slightly higher hourly wage. So I had a good unexpected check (1 of 2 today) that was very cool. The next one was completely unexpected as well, which I'll get to in just a little bit. But first... after my "shopping spree" at Kroger I headed home quickly to drop off the goods and put them all away. Then I also talked to Allie and my sister online for a little bit while I ate dinner. But I wasn't able to stay and chat all night because I had to head over to the Hartmans house and do some computer work for them tonight. But just before going there I made one more quick trip to the Donnebergs to feed the Newts for the evening. Then I was off and down the road to the Hartmans. The computer problem was pretty easy to take care of and I pretty much just needed to show him how to use the programs and stuff. But just as I was leaving he gives me a check for $100. I looked at it and was like.. um.. I don't need that much and I tried to give it back but he made me keep it. It was sure nice, I was only there for two hours tops. I think that was just another way God decided to provide for me today. That was unexpected check number two. All I can say is Praise the Lord and he is worthy to be praised. On the 30 minute drive back from the hartmans I decided to call Allie at her dads and see if I could have someone to talk to. She ended up not being busy so we were able to talk for awhile. It was pretty nice. We continued to talk for about another 20 minutes even after I got back. But after we did get off the phone I finished up unpacking and organzing my apartment. I got my new table setup and my third computer with the third webcam. I also needed to string a network cable around the house to get it to the other computer. I think I can say now that I am done organizing and setting up my apartment now though. Everything if is finished I hope. After getting that done I decided to attempt to write a blog entry for some of the days during our missions trip. I only had enough time to finish with Friday May 7th... but Tomorrow I should have more time and be able to do a couple more days worth... Once I get the whole week done I'll publish them on here as a unit. I know you can't wait!! =).. anyway I think that pretty much cover things for today.. I'm going to head off to bed. Have a good night!
