7,710,600 pennies saved, is a blessing

You've no doubt heard the saying, "a penny saved is a penny earned." I think we give credit to Benjamin Franklin for this American Proverb. Well, yesterday I was trying to figure out a way to enroll in a class I didn't have the money for. It was going to cost me $771.06. Most the classes I take to fulfill the requirements of a Masters of Science in Curriculum and Instruction are paid for by the school district where I'm employed, but there were a few (3) classes I was supposed to figure out a way to pay. So I was going to take one class this summer. It was a 3 credit hour course away from the university my other course work is being completed through. So I didn't want to begin asking for loans and favors and borrowing money from friends and family before being sure this class at the university in town will satisfy the university and the state department of education. I shot a email to my advisor, who shot me an email back saying that I didn't have to take the course because of my high test score on an exam I took last summer. I don't deserve it. I didn't earned any of those 7,710,600 pennies, but God blessed me anyhow. I felt His awesome love once again. Bwana Asifiwe!
