Debt!!

Okay so today at school has been pretty normal. Currently I am in my fourth period journalism class, but like usual we are not really doing any work... So anyway the title of this blog as you can see is "Debt" because right now I am having money issues... not extreme money issues, but enough to hurt me a little good bit. Okay so I got a ticket last week which is like 81 dollars I have to pay, I just paid for this church trip which is like 90 dollars, I have to buy the ad for my church in our school paper which is going to coast about 80 dollars, and my church is having revival this week so I will be driving back and fourth a lot so that is going to coast about 40 dollars in gas, AND to top it all off... I lost my cell phone today, which is going to coast me 50 dollars to get it replaced. That is like 341 dollars, and I am going to have little odds and ends I will be paying for. What I can do is maybe wait to the next issue of the paper to buy my ad for the church, or buy a smaller one...

I am not worried about the money too much because I am only 16 and my parents has my back in case I get in a jam... like now... but I enjoy being independent. Right now I have like 250 in my checking account, and like 550 in my savings account so I do have enough money to pay for everything, but it is just.... I worked SOOOO hard to get that money in there. Plus to top it off some more I am not able to work this weekend or next weekend so that leaves me out a lot of money as well.... so yeah.... I am not completely sure what I am going to do right now. I am just kind of being overwhelmed right now because it is like all this is happening so fast, but I see this as an interesting way to prepare me for the "real world".

This is the first time that I am being conflict with a lot of money issues, but I KNOW this is not going to be my last. So I don't think I will ask my parents for help because when I am older I might not be able to rely on them. Also I know God has my back so that is how I am able to be so calm about this. The only thing that annoys me is that I wanted to use the money I have been saving to go on a mission trip to Peru the summer I am finally 18, but that is still a long ways away so I can always work a little harder and start from scratch.

Yep so that is how my life is currently going, but it is okay because I know God is always watching out for me. It really doesn't matter how much money I have in the bank any how as long as I have faith in God I know I will be okay...
