Money

For the past two weeks I have had to survive without a huge refund check that I desperately need. Currently I have 2 dollars in my bank account and really have no one to ask for money. It says on the Georgia State financial aid page that our refunds are processed in the second week of the term and still on Tuesday I am waiting desperately. Not only will this money go towards rent which is due on the first but it will also go to the books that I need for my classes including this one. Why is money so important and why does it cause such stress? Why is money always involved in everything? No matter what all problems are rooted by money. Why though? After high school I became a volunteer in New York and lived basically for free for about a year. It allowed me to focus on helping others and I guess "find" myself in this now secular world. Now though, I can't find a job, struggle supporting myself and girlfriend, and struggle with my faith. One thing I can assure myself of is that I will never despair and lose hope. I thank God I have the opportunity to learn, live, and eat everyday.
