Someone loves me

Today was a pretty long day. I slept about 3 hours last night because I was cramming for a test today, that I did mediocre on. Just one of those long days.

I came home from school today, and Emily checked the mail. She handed me an envelope, looked something like this:


"Yuck it's a bill. I don't want it." I said as I opened it. I thought it was kind of strange that there was no return address.
I pulled out a tri-folded sheet of white paper. "Yep, it's a bill." I said to Emily.


I opened the top third. Blank. That's weird.










I opened the bottom third, and what do you know? It was a bill.

A $100 bill. The paper was blank. Unsigned. My address had been typed so I couldn't guess from the handwriting. Emily and I screamed and freaked out for a minute. I thought I might explode.
(Me about to explode).

I love the many blessings that are in my life. I love the power of paying tithing. I love having anonymous people who support me as a starving student. I don't know who it was, but thank you so much for being so kind!! I will use it wisely, and save it for my next "bill" that comes in the mail!

yes, it could have been grandma and grandpa, but they also have my account number so they could have just deposited it... i don't know the mystery continues!

willi, that's so awesome! way to be righteous!

no more being tired and worn out, you need to take a day for yourself and go pamper yourself and have a picnic in the park and all that good stuff. (unless it's still cold and snowy there which it is not here. I keep forgetting it's still winter.) But for real, take a day for yourself and just relax. I promise you it will pay off!

much love from az.
