Dear God, 
Thanks for listening to my silent plea for money. Sometimes I can't comprehend how you allow things to work out for people who love you, but that doesn't mar my enthusiasm and appreciation for it! Today went pretty well, Im pretty sure J was put on the earth to try my patience but was reassured when another teacher complimented me on that particular area. Lord, I am discouraged about so much right now. More encouragement would be loverly. I pray that the desired relational growth between us isn't stunted by my faulty human nature. 
Love
