Irritation

Good news and bad news.
Bad news first: I am not getting as much financial aid this year as I was originally told. I lost $1,600.00 without doing anything. I figured it was too good to be true. I have 3 scholarships. One scholarship is given by the state and is currently being held hostage by the budget crisis (another irritation). This scholarship can only be used for X expenses. A second scholarship is given by the school and can only be used for Y expenses. The third scholarship is given by an outside organization and can be used for anything. The 3 scholarships totaled more money than the cost of the credential program. This is good, right??? Well, it was. It turns out that my state and school scholarships are more than the cost of the program, so 1 of them was reduced so that I am not getting the extra money from those 2 scholarships.
Good news: I am still getting the outside scholarship! Yes, thank You for that! Another good thing: Over the summer and near the beginning of the semester, I thought about working part-time to supplement the scholarship money I would be getting (plus I thought I would be bored if I only had schoolwork to do). This extra money, at the end of the credential program, would be used to go overseas next summer or to pay off my one, small loan. Well, it turns out that I will need this extra money. I am thankful that God set it up for Michelle Rivas to ask if I tutored English, and that I said yes and that I got a well paying job (few hours + experience with secondary kids + great pay = awesome).
Plus, my mom reminded me that God will provide for me, as He always has. This is just another example, knowing that this would happen. Knowing that this money would be necessary. Knowing that I would be working with a non-Christian family. Allowing me to tutor Evan through the differences between Protestantism and Catholicism in his AP homework (though who knows if he learned anything; at least he heard it).
And a reminder from Amos via his blog that we don't really need anything; God cares for us.

Blessed be the LORD,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him.
The LORD is their strength,
And He is the saving refuge of His anointed.
Save Your people,
And bless Your inheritance;
Shepherd them also,
And bear them up forever.
-Psalm 28:6-9 NKJV
