Day 61 of " A Quarter of Love"

Well Today was my last day of school before graduation, and it was a pretty crazy one. I went with some friends to Radio Korea to Watch the Korea Game for the World Cup. It was a lot of fun and stressful at the same time but a good kind of stressful. Towards the end Korea scared us a couple times but they tied, so they will be advancing on to the next round :).

After this we headed to KBBQ, and just enjoyed each others company. We had a bunch of laughs, and it was an amazing way to spend the last day of school. Its funny because when the bill came, 3 of our friends forgot their money so some of us had to end up paying more than intended. On top of this we paid some more because of tip as well an this kind of through us all off yet we laughed about it on our way back to our cars.

Once we got back to our cars to our surprise we found parking tickets on mine and my friends car. This hit us like a brick wall. All that had happened today instantly shrunk as we all began to focus on money. We all sat in silence and then finally I said I was ready to leave to we headed out separate ways.

I continued on driving and was just thinking about how much money I spent today, until it hit me. It was ok, not only was it just money but this was possibly last time I would spend with these guys and I realized it was worth it. I praised God and thanked him for being with us keeping us safe and for allowing us to have such a wonderful time. I told my friends to cheer up and that it was all worth it and we all agreed that because we had a good time thats all that mattered.

Sometimes we spot our friends, or even have to fork over money on behalf of someone. However I believe God gives us these trials to see rather we will love our brothers/ sisters in these moments or focus on money, and how it may affect us. I easily could have gotten pissed over how much money I spent from gas money to the food to the ticket and yet It brought a smile to my face and will give me a definite memory of how we spent the last day of school.

Thank you Jesus for being with us and for truly blessing us.
