GOD IS SO GOOD.
Yeah, he really is. And I was just thinking about how much he's provided for me today and was like... WHATT THIS IS INSANE. So thought I'd just post about all that he's done for me. 'cause he is worthy of all our praise.

Let's just start from last Friday shall we?
Basics. I kinda have a lot of problem with money. For one, I never have any, and two, well, I spend it insanely quickly on things I don't need when I do. So most of the time, I have no money. Which is actually pretty good right now because it means I don't spend it on alcohol or anything, but is a little bit of an issue because it means I can't really go out and do things with my friendies, and as fun as staying at home is and watching endless episodes of 'private practice' - I kinda love my friends a little too much to not see them. So, I'm in my room doing some work and a letter comes through the door which says 'you can pretend you found this on the floor' which had a tenner in it! With this I was then able to hang out with my friendies playing games in the Interval and buy myself a drink! Yay :)
So then, I find out I only have 5 days worth of my medication left, with no idea how to figure out the repeat prescription thingy and no money to pay for any more and basically, a little screwed. Then, I receive a phone call from my Doctors on Tuesday asking whether I could rearrange my appointment 'cause my Doctor had to go on a conference or something, and so while I was on the phone to the receptionist I asked her about my prescription and she tells me she can print it off and I can collect it tomorrow (where I would be taking my second-to-last day of medication.) So that was great, but I still had no money for it.

Then I skyped one of my oldest friends Tuesday evening, and ended up talking for two and a half hours and out of it I got an accountability buddy, someone who I've been praying for ages to get and I was like... WHATT?! 

So then yesterday was my scary assessment day, and God provided me with everything I needed for the day, including a good WHEAT FREE cake before hand, a lovely Sarah Taylor who came with me and gave me moral support and then drove me on to my discipleship group, where my drink was provided for me and then after that my dinner. I didn't want to do anything but God surrounded me with my friends from life group for a social where we saw some (interesting) fireworks and generally had a lovely time, and then I came back and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST was on the television. (My favey movie.) and then on my way home from that social one of my nearest friends asked me whether I was okay, and then I ended up going to his for a cup of tea and just had to have a lovely chat where for the first time I didn't have to talk about my emotions or anything, just got to enjoy life with other people.
So then I get home (FINALLY, at like half 11) and decided that I should actually do some reading for my lecture today, so stayed up and did a little bit of reading, when I then heard some noise from Tom's room, and so I went in and had a really lovely chat with him and Mikey. Then, I found an INSANE amount of change on his floor, and so being the nerd I am, I start counting it all, and gave him a 'owly bank' for him to put it in so he can stop wasting money getting more notes out when he had a rather large amount of money on his bedroom floor! I am then allowed to borrow some of that money, meaning I had the exact amount of money IN CHANGE to pay for my medication today!

So I wake up today, and felt awful, so didn't make it to my morning lecture and to be honest, I was planning to spend most of it in bed, but I got a text from my friend who I was due to meet up with and he was like.. DUDEE I'll buy you a hot chocolate if you come in! So I very reluctantly start leaving the house and walk down the hill towards the Interval, where I see the pharmacy at the bottom of my road so go in to get my meds, turns out they're looking for health care assistants!! Part-time too and the shifts they want are the days I have off! So at the same time I manage to get an application which I am currently filling out. BUT. I had forgotten my National Insurance Card (what an idiot I know!) and then I get a text from my mummy saying she'd found it and texted me the number, so I don't look like I'm like.. lying or anything.

And then, BAM, my friend whips out a massive bar of aero chocolate for me :) BABE. I know. And then I just have some casual nice times with my two friends before my lecture, which I then went to and got some really good advice for my essay, meaning that I wouldn't start it and then find out I've got more work to do and change it all, and then suddenly half way through the lecture the lecturer comes up and gives me a bar of galaxy chocolate, for getting a nerdy question right last week! I also got to sit next to another friend I hadn't spoken to in a while and it was really nice. THEN (yes, it goes on) I get a text from my friend asking me what type of chocolate I like, and then when I returned home after picking up my medication and after a very lovely hot shower home alone which meant I could sing very loudly I walk into my room to find a even bigger bar of galaxy! So then I was just blown away by how awesome God is. Then I remembered another application form I needed my NIN for and filled it in and then went straight out to hand it in down the road, and then went to sainsburies where I bought some potatos and cauliflower for a yummy tea I'm gonna have which will actually be HEALTHY and YUMMY. yay :)

So basically, God provides. Flip me in ways I never even comprehended. You are so good Jesus! I love you.
