Hey guys, sorry for such a late entry. I was rather busy and lazy to blog when I have some time. Oh btw, I've created a Twitter! Honestly I'm still very "raw" at it. So it'll take time for me to get better at it. =X Oh well.
Oh yeah, last week. It was insane, it was a real rough week for me. The main issue was about finance and faith. Firstly it all happened when my boss threatened me to cut my pay by 50% if I was unable to hand up an assignment.
It's actually like this, I worked for him for the last 2 weeks of my semester break, but I had one unfinished assignment. Honestly I didn't wanna do it anymore as school has started and I wanna concentrate on my school work, CCA and also to relax. But apparently that didn't seem possible. So I was given 2 options, either I finish up the assignment and get my full pay, or do nothing and only get 50% of my pay.
Honestly I was really stressed up by this, I could only do give up half of my pay, or slog my way through. The thing about the assignment is that it is a VERY difficult assignment and which will take me a few full days. As you all know I'm back in school and my own stuff, so sigh.
But I did pray a lot. I prayed to God for peace, guidance and also wisdom. I was really distracted by this matter and it often made me feel really upset. But one thing I always keep in my mind that God will make a way for me. If He leads me to it, He'll lead me through it. I just kept on meditating on those words which made feel better and peaceful.
So eventually I thought of just giving up and taking just half of my pay. But in the next morning, I realised a bicyle which my friend had lent me, got stolen. Arrgh That was another blow to me. Firstly, that bike is rather new and good, which means that it isn't cheap! Secondly, I'm already in debt as I owe my brother some cash. Lastly, I'm already having this pay-cut issue. Woo... It's like a Good Game situation for me man.
Though it seems like I'm a goner, but that didn't bring me down. I kept on believing that God will make a way for me, and just press on with faith. On the evening of the same day I realised the lost of the bike, all things was solved. Thank God. Firstly my boss just let me go and agreed to pay me full without me having to finish the assignment. Secondly I went to tell the bike's owner the truth. It was real tough, trust me. The fact that I do not know what to do after telling the truth just scares me. And lastly it just shows that God is faithful and awesome. He led me through all this mountains and test of life. Though this might seemed to be nothing big to some people, but I can say that, this one of the biggest things I've faced in face. As I have not really handled that much money before. Oh well, praise the Lord.
Alright, that's about it. Gotta go sleep. I'm real tired.
