Measure My Stress

This past week was a duzy and it brought me back to one of my weakest points, not freaking out when I am taken by surprise but trusting in God. Last week I was taken back when I got two notices from my bank that I had bounced checks. I freaked out and called to check where they came from. The first one I had written down that I had deposited some money but never did, validly my fault. Then the second I could not believe. So you can understand I will go back over a month ago. I ordered software online for a friend because I can get it cheaper working for the University, I get a educator's discount. So I ordered it and I had to send a copy of my check stub for verification. I made a copy and sent my check for payment. Well the check stub without the check attached does not bear the name UAMS and so I had made a copy of my ID but that has to have dates on it to be a veritable form of ID to them so they cancelled the order, and sent me an email. I did not understand so I called them she said it needed the school name on it or a date on my ID so I said ok I will just go online later and order it again. She did not tell me not to mail another check. I figured cancelled order cancelled check. So a few days later I order again and send a copy of my check stub with check attached and another check to pay. I get my order all is fine and dandy, that second check went through on the 7th of November, but things turn ugly on the 14th when they cash the first check. I bounced that check and the bank charges $17.43 per bounced check and from that one check I thought had been shredded made me bounce $52 some dollars worth of checks. That is the charges from the checks. I called the bank again and they said that I needed to call the company and they should cover the overdraft charges because it was no fault of my own that they cashed that check. I had to leave a message and the lady called back and left me a message that they could not cover it because they had no way to know, they checks they receive go straight to the bank, but if that were the case the first check would have been cashed in the middle of October. Not only that they had written the order number on my check so it seems they maliciously cashed that second check. I called and left a second message but she has not called back. I am very frustrated because I trusted they would not cash that check and I now have to pay $52 for their mistake. I am not going to call them anymore I have decided to let go. I know God is in control and I told myself this as the days have gone by, but it is so hard to believe when justice is really not being served. Then again if I got what I deserved I would be damned to hell eternally and worse, but I have been given grace. So I have let go and if God wants he will make these people pay for those charges he will, but if he does not I will still be thankful because I have learned to be more cautious with my money and ask more questions and not trust people so much. Not that I am never going to trust anyone but be more cautious with my trust of people I do not know. No matter what God will provide whether I have to pay or they do. By the way you don't want to mess with JourneyEd Marketing in Texas. Or if you do be very careful about it.
