Lost Wallet Found
Hi All!
It's a long time since I've blogged. Lost the motivation to and it's been pretty busy. Life flashing pass and computer games seems more entertaining than just typing down things.
But here I am again ... blogging ... because life has just taken a pretty interesting spin and I believe that it will be pretty good to share about it.
Here's the update of what's been happening in my life.
I'm Graduating soon! Had a GPA of 3.61. Did not get in to Rolls of Honor at the last Semester of my Poly Life but hey! 3.61! That's above B+. Pretty good for someone who pretty much don't study! Due to the fact that there is little time. (Serving God & Procrastinating)=p
Now am waiting for NS but I'm not the type that sits at home to rot so I decided to look around for what to do to the time I'm given. At first was panicking as there is so many things to do. Prayed and ask God for help. God finally showed me the way by closing the doors one by one.
Now, I'm in Grad Serve. A Short Term Full Time serving in Singapore Youth For Christ. Living on allowances or in a more crude term, on others. Doing pretty well in there. It was not as bad as I expected and I had a lot of fun . Thank God for that. Currently in Poly Serve. A 2 week semester break thingy to build Christians up. Leading a group of pretty ladies with my Churchmate Jun Jie who also happen to join Grad Serve =D So Cool.
Met alot of cool poly students and wow...had loads of fun. Lessons are really great. Am applying to life in hope of becoming a Godly person =D.
However, recently, an exciting miracle took place in my life.
Currently, in my life, I've been living months by having $0 and depending fully on God to provide me. It's pretty exciting because I've survived and am well fed.
15 March,
Typical Sunday. However, this time I'm in Church alone and without my brother. To be honest, I was kind of disappointed when he chose a computer over God. I wanted to reveal to him my father's balant trap or maybe the devil's scheme. However, I kept queit hoping that he can make the right decision on his own. He did not and fell into Dad's attempt to lure us from Church. Anyway, that day, I commit to God that I'll give 10% of what I had for that week (Given to me by Sunny in the Toilet) and what coins are left in my wallet. During the offering, I took out my coins and realised to my horror that I have enough coins to raise my offerring from a 10% to over 20%. I was placed in a tight spot. It is alot of money to me.
In the end, I decide that since I've promised God, then I shall do it. I gave it and yeap...felt no pain. Learnt by now that God does provide.
After that, I even went to play Left4Dead with my Church mates. I did at that time questioned the wisdom of it. Is it worth it to still spend? Well...I did went...reluctantly I must say but hey! I wanna spend time with my church youths.
Here's the interesting thing. Josiah passed me $200 to support me in my Grad Serve program. I was like....wow.... Then Edwin came...and passed me $50...He owe me hahaha....But I was like suddenly a man holding an additional $250. Wow....
16 March the Next Day. I done something real bad in the process, I lost my wallet. And yes...I have everything in my wallet. My money that I've just gotten and my NRIC and my bank card and ya...practically everything. This is a pretty bad situation as you can see. I was at first not really disturbed by it as I believe that my wallet can be easily found. After all it;s in the train that is not boardable by passengers. So I did some prayers asking God to forgive me and asking Him to get my wallet back. I joined in the activity of the day. My worries starts when I realised that my wallet is not found on the train.
Then I became scared actually because of the major inconvienice it will bring and the huge amount of money lost the very day after it was given. Now I have $0. I got angry and I got bitter. I entertained thoughts of revenge on the possible theives. Althought I'm not sure if anyone had stolen it. The rest of the day, I felt sad and at times angry. Carmen gave me some money to travel while ronica gave me money to eat and a pouch to carry the money around. She gave also advice on how I should have carried my money.
I prayed hard. Asking God that I'm satisfied if My wallet is found and my money Gone. I was more afraid of the inconvienced caused.
Later in the day, Jerome Organised Left4Dead with his church mates and us. Tian Xin and Edwin urged me to join in and offered to treat me. So I followed them. They treated me to Aston..and 3 hours of LAN gaming. Not bad for someone who has just lost his wallet. After that, I got to stay in Jerome's house with Edwin. Got extra sleep and yeap...It's fun staying at friend's house. I like sleepovers.
17 March ... I've gotten a call that someone had found my wallet. I was happy...althought it felt kind of empty. My group members encouraged me over lunch that my wallet will be intact. Even with the money. I was skeptical. I was pretty nervous too. God however is good and gracious. He had my wallet returned intact and all the cash are found inside. I was overjoyed.
