Being Back, Being Broke

So, I'm back, or at least so it seems, back to Isla Vista at least. It's slightly weird being back, maybe because I am not currently in school, maybe because I am still adjusting to a new living environment, maybe because I am not sleeping in a bed yet, maybe because my community is not all here yet, maybe just because I've been away for three months. Whatever the reason, IV doesn't totally feel like home yet. That being said, in being back for just about three days I have done things that are very stereotypical for me in IV: baked cookies, hung out with Lindsey, went to RL events. The one thing I haven't done really, is gone to class at all.
The biggest hurdle of being back in IV is that once I paid my September rent, I ran out of money. I have no money and no food until I get my financial aid check at somepoint around the tenth. So, I came on Saturday, and one of the things that God taught this summer in a big way is that he provides as long as we trust in Him. And that is what I have to do right now, there's no other choice that I have, I have no other way to survive, I do not have another option. And so far I have eaten everyday, although I have had no money, God has shown His faithfulness to me and I have eaten, even rather well at times, at least two meals everyday. Not once since I arrived have I had nothing to eat in a day, just as I have throughout my life. That is something so comforting and unbelievably peace-invoking, that God takes care of me always, weather I have very much, or nothing, God still showers me with Love and provision, despite even, of my sin.
Treats of the week: I made last week oatmeal chocolate-chip cookies, inception cookies, and red velvet, double-chocolate cookies. Cookie crazy!
Good Luck and Good Eats
