Tires, Tithing, and Gratitude

Okay, so the other night my little brother drove my car to Delta to watch his friends graduation, and on the way home he ended up getting two flat tires. Total bummer. What really sucks was it was the front tires that went flat. That sucks because they were the two good tires on the car and I already had to buy two new ones for the back, so I ended up buying four new tires this week. Which unfortunately I really could not afford. I was really starting to stress about it, because I don't have a job yet (grr!) and I therefore have very little money right now, and I didn't think there was going to be any way I could pay for those and not have to take any money out of savings, which I hate doing more than almost anything else. But then after figuring out my finances tonight, I actually ended up being able to pay for the tires and still have money to spare. Granted, not much money, but enough that I can at least put gas in my car. I'm pretty excited about that fact, but I really don't understand it. There is absolutely no way that I should have enough money. But all I can say, is that tithing really is important. I have always paid my tithing and I have never once not had enough money for something that I needed, and I'm very grateful for that. I'm grateful that I have the opportunity to pay tithing and receive those blessings. A lot of people think they wouldn't be able to afford to pay tithing, but I know without a doubt that I can't afford not to pay mine. There is absolutely no way that I should have had so few problems with money when I basically haven't had a job since I moved to Salt Lake. Which I really really miss by the way. I miss having a pay check every week and seeing my savings account getting fuller and fuller. I miss feeling like I can afford to buy little things without breaking the bank. But it's okay, at least I'm being looked out for, and hopefully my neighbor will be able to pull some strings for the Pharmacy stuff and I can get trained this summer. If I was trained then I would probably be able to get a job in Salt Lake for this next school year, because I kinda doubt that I will be able to get work study. I guess we'll have to wait and see though.
