Even when the road is hard, God is awesome!

Though this has not been the greatest of weeks for me, God is still good. It started on Monday getting an overdraft charge from the bank. The bad thing was, the atm machine said I had like $160, so I went and bought groceries. Well, then the bank suddenly changed and said I didn't have any money in my account... It took them three days to update my account, and blah blah blah... well then Wednesday the Army paid me through direct fund transfer, and the bank acknowledged it, but put it on hold or something, so it let me use my card, but apparently the bank viewed any usage as automatic overdraft.. so I got a total of $50 fee for that that wasn't really even my fault, but there's nothing I can do about it. Then... the Lord decided to put me through another trial. Halfway to Salem on my way to take the dreaded mid-terms, my truck started shaking really really bad, and making horrible noises like I had a flat tire.. well, I got out, and then I wished it had been a flat tire.. it was the drive shaft for my front wheels, it had jammed up, and gotten off balance, and it tore some stuff up pretty bad. So now, my truck has been demoted to a 2wd vehicle until I can get the time and money (the part that I'm afraid has gone bad is almost $300...) also, it messed something up so now my truck is leaking oil between the transfer case and the transmission :( oh snap! it's not bad, but I haven't been able to find where it's leaking or why, and I can't find where to put more oil in so I don't loose my transmission too... hopefully it's not a sealed system.. on the bright side however, at this time my truck is still fully operational other than 4wd. It could have been my rear drive shaft, and I would probably still be out there in the middle of nowhere trying to fix it.. God is great! It also could have jammed up so I could have had a wreck, or any number of other things, but it didn't :) please be praying that it's not the part I think it is, and that it's just a bad u-joint (a $9 part) As far as the leaking oil... I'm probably going to have to have somebody else look at it. Pray that the guy i'm trying to get into the guard will go through with it, because then I will get $2000, which after I pay off my laptop and school debt would leave $400 or so which would come in really handy if I have to do anything expensive to my truck. I was really really hoping to use that money to buy a camera I've been wanting for the last year or so, but it's going to have to wait some more I suppose... other than that my week has been pretty normal other than the two times I ran out of money so I didn't have anything to eat other than leftover microwaved fish sticks.. (they're pretty gross, don't try this at home...)
Some positive points of my week: I got to go to a party/dance tonight which was a blast.. and I watched some pretty sweet war movies- "Blackhawk Down" and "Band of Brothers" both great movies, though they are kinda violent, and the profanity level is about like the real army..
also playing a little ssbm with my 'big' little sister (kristin)
Have a blessed week! If anybody has a 2008 cobalt blue dodge 1/2 ton truck with aftermarket lift and tires on it that they would like to donate to me, please let me know!! oh yea, and I'd prefer an Altec sound system too :) jk
God bless!
