Feeling like a fog; so much so that I just spelled fog gof. You get my drift?

Jet lagged and tired. Have chosen my classes. Wireless is still not up in my dorm (where I have all my good writing about Nepal saved on my laptop). Love my roommate. Love my New York friends more. Have a few testimonies. Lend an ear?

Today I went to the Financial Aid office to put a down payment down on this semester. I left a few minutes later having written over $2500 dollars to Lee University and followed a confused receptionist to another office. She was insisting that there were no other scholarships applied to my account and that I must be mistaken about the remainder of my school bill being taken care of by those scholarships. I secretly insisted that she was the mistaken one and meekly followed her to the scholarship office where she was not only informed that I did indeed have the sufficient scholarships, but I was also owed a credit. A credit? I asked incredulously, thinking of the bank account at home that was going to be completely depleted after the purchase of things like textbooks and toothpaste. Yes, a credit. Exactly enough to pay for said purchases.

So my friends, it appears that God not only meets our needs, He exceeds them.

Number two: And may I boast on my dear friends for a moment? Today in my inbox I received an email with this in the subject line:

Expedia travel confirmation - Syracuse, NY - Oct 20, 2005

fortunately I had been given a ten minute warning by the giver of such good gifts, else I would have had my crying bout in the middle of a computer lab instead of the private cafe while on the phone with her. Yes. Not only am I going home in October for a beloved friend's wedding, but I now am able to pay for the pretty green dress I'll proudly wear as I stand beside her.

And can I mention the pluses? My return ticket is booked for Sunday afternoon, so I can go to church!

Will the blessings never cease?

I know you are all horribly disappointed by the lack of real literary substance that this weblob has taken on in the recent future; believe me when I say I'm sorry. I'm sure the real Lore will stand up soon. If you can see her through all this fog.
