Pot Holes

Yesterday was a great Sunday listening to the sermon and attending the leaders meeting. I can't help to share to others about the lesson and the good news which is spread around the pool of leaders.

I'm not only spiritually ill discipline, I'm also financially ill. Four years ago as a student, I'm squezzing my Bank account for my exam fees and the many months of unpaid leave months for my exam. So when I completed my LLB I'm declared a Bankrupt with only RM10 left in my bank.

Thank God that he provided for me during difficult times and I thank all the Brothers and Sisters who has been giving to me. Giving me encouragement and food to eat, I'm definitely so grateful and thankful for all the sacrificial love from all of you.

Meanwhile, God also provided me a job right after I finish my LLB in a travel agency in Mont Kiara. Two months later I'm offered to lecture in my college and given a chance despite my poor results. God is definitely gracious and walking every steps with me. I've promise God that I'll spent wisely when I get my pay and I'll remember him.

So I started my savings since Feb this year. Keeping money for rainy days and just live by my budget. Although, many months I have over spent but I still got some money to keep. Which is an encouragement to me... :)

When we grow older, commitment is increasing and I'm struggling to cope with the recent inflation. Vincent convicted me that I need to be a Thermostate to change the temperature of my environment as opposed to complaining and grumbling with the situation I face.

No matter how little I have I know, God is there to take care of me and provide for me and as a disciple I also gain conviction to be financially responsible. Sometimes it is just so tempted to spent on clothes and shoes and buying things to encourage myself after all my hardwork.

It is definely not easy, but for something great in future. When Vincent shared about the Building Funds I must confess I felt burden too..Can't deny that I'm struggling to give. Sometimes when I look back, no matter how I struggle I will still have food to eat and watching a movie or hang out with friends.

It is true to say that doing things for others is more difficult then for our own. It is easier to keep for one self then to give to the poor. I'm praying about it, I know God will continue to bless and provide for each one of us at any ciscumstances.

If someone with RM800 can take care of a family of 5, what are we complaining?

Don't worry if he care for the Birds he care for you Too :)

Work hard and save up :)
