God's Way [or the Highway]

proverbs 10:2
i had a recent internal struggle with doing the right thing. at the soroptimist scholarship conference, i was awarded two thirds of a scholarship for myself and the other third was made out to chandler regional. well, im rather skeptical and reluctant to give it to the hospital. the money may or may not go where i should hope it does and my degree of gratitude to the volunteen program itself is questionable. to a much greater degree im thankful for annette and dr. villa. anyways, so i struggled with whether or not to actually give the hospital that third. i could use it for books, i could invest it. i could buy part of my much needed laptop with it. i could do a ton of things with it.

but i suppose that third would have equated to ill-gotten treasures and so im glad that i didnt keep it and deposit it. God provides and i shall not ever be wanting. my righteousness is much more questionable but at lest im not holding ill-gotten treasures. besides that, now that i think about it, i've probably gotten the equivalent to that third in birthday and graduation gifts. not only that, but opting for illicit treasures would only hurt me (highway as opposed to the security of Gods way).

so tomorrow, i also pledge to be righteous in any acquisition of treasures--both the figurative and literal types. right now im thinking that those treasures may come in the form of something at mayo clinic, but ill just have to see... thank God for this day though and may he help me in my applications.
