Oh my word, yesterday my mom called and said that my sister really needed to see me over thanksgiving break, but I had been planning on going to Alex's for the holiday because it would be cheaper. I was so excited to spend a week with Alex and not have any school work. Alex and I were gonna go to the aquarium, the art museum, make chocolate covered popcorn, and watch lots of movies, in addition to enjoying thanksgiving with his family.
I told my mom it was a lot of money and that it was stressful for me to try and figure out how to get a cheap flight without missing classes. I said I would pray about it (and I did, briefly), since flights are not cheap two weeks before thanksgiving.
Well, I was swimming this morning and knew that I had to buy the ticket, no matter the costs. I had to let my sister know that I love her and that she is more important to me than Alex. She feels that mom values Ernie more than her and she feels unloved by Dad, I am not going to let her down too.
Well, after swimming I bought the ticket when I got back to my room. It was petty pricey and I had no clue how i was gonna pay for it (I put it on my card). Mom said she would pay for it, but her hours have been cut back from 36 a week to 24 a week lately and I don't think she can really afford a plane ticket home at the holidays at so late notice.
When I got out of class today, I got a notice from financial aid to come immediately and sign some papers.
I went over and they had a refund check for me that was exactly one dollar less than the amount I paid for the ticket earlier today.
God is good.
