Why?
hi, i realized i haven't been blogging. Bear with me, it will be long. I'll try to make it interesting.
Building Fund is coming ppl!! lol I'm so excited for it. i already have in mind how much i want to pledge, it's an amount i pledged last building fund but due to financial difficulties in my family i couldn't fulfill it. so this time round, I'm going to complete it and i believe God will provide for me Amen!! i love it whenever pastor say you may be poor but when u walk with God, you will never be poor all your life. AMEN!! i love this part.
Because it is so real in my life, like i mentioned previously my family had a financial difficulty and i was really tight in my pockets but now i just feel that wherever i go, I feel so blessed. these 6 months has been a really blessed period. my mum's financial situation started picking up, now all of a sudden the management of her workplace told her that they needed that space where her shop was. so she either had to leave or change location. by God's grace, she fled from that ghost town. now she's working for her friend, a basic pay every month and if business is good she will have commission. her income previously was always negative, not only did she not make any sales, she had to take out from her own. God turned the whole situation around!! PTL!
ok that's that. now ME! when i just came to church, my allowance was 480. that time i remembered clearly i only tithed 27 dollars. i cheated God, i felt so bad and convicted that i began tithing the correct amount. there was also once when i missed my tithe, partly because i wasn't managing my money well and i didn't have my priorities right. i prayed and felt forgiven, i became convicted to tithe on time and tithing first. through these experiences i learnt ALOT! now my allowance is more than 2 times the previous amount PTL! haha i believe its cause of my consistent tithing. not only that, the previous month is really a month of tremendous blessing. i got a burberry wallet from my aunt, burberry cologne from my mum. and last week, an iPHONE from my dad. haha its really blessings after blessings. Building Fund season is coming so i decided to share this to encourage ppl to give, hope you are encouraged. lol remember you will never be POOR all your life!
one last thing, i remember we sang once a praise song in church that really spoke to me, the chorus was something like :
No more running wild
I'm yours for life
Well you got me here
You got me
I hear your call tonight
Your heart is mine
Well you got me here
You got me
i think its really nice and meaningful. that it's God that got us here in church, that right from the start until now, it was never a coincidence. the friends we made, the situations we got into all contributed to us coming to church. so if God did so much for us to come to know him, surely we are going to be great men and women for Him. so therefore we must not waste His efforts and no more running wild, we're His for life. haha i just feel so relieved and at peace when i know He is my God. Everything we go through, even the tough situations are there for a reason. because His ways are higher, therefore we do not know why? Yi Lun my bible study teacher for FT1 and FT2 told us that Extraordinary people have Extraordinary trials, wow. logically, if the devil knows that you are going to do great things for God and save the ten thousand souls out there, surely he would wanna stop you, but of cos we know on the other hand, we have the king of kings on our side lol. he can flip the whole situation around, maybe you would get the ending you expected but there are things sometimes that when we will learn and never be forgotten, like becoming stronger, enlarged capacity, huge faith. who can steal this away from you?
are you encouraged in a way or another?
