Screwed....
Not the most Christian of terms, I know....but it's really the only word I can think of that aptly describes my situation. I'm barely a week into the school semester (finally in the program that means something), and I'm already wondering if I'm going to be able to continue. Not because I can't handle the workload (I have the lightest timetable of my college career), or because I need surgery (detailed blog to follow as I know that some of you read this as a way of keeping up to date when we can't connect directlly)...I'm screwed because I have absolutely no way of paying for the books I need. I need them by the end of the week or at latest, the early part of next week, or I will fall behind in required reading and subsequent assignments. I have financial aid coming to me, but I won;t see that until the end of September at least, and maybe not even then if I don't find the money to get my Social Insurance Number card replaced.
There's nothing I can do....the good news about that, is that the only way for things to work out is for God to step in and perform a miracle. I don't know about you, but in my experience, God is at His best when we, as simple human beings, have no other option but to lean on Him.

As an update on her behalf, Ashleigh's still awaiting surgery. Very tough to get in for the necessary procedure, a lot of people are saying different things to her with few results...

Jamie, thanks for the update. I've been wondering how things were. Ashleigh if you read this, I'm thinking about you!
