tHe PoLy DaYs
scrawny.. spectacled.. spendthrift..
this was prob wat i am durin my poly days..
durin yr 1.. i was so into spendin.. i boguht all the things tt money can buy.. but there's always things tt money cant buy.. and tt is the love of God.. and so yr 1.. i followed my short friendzz named angie 2 church.. and 1 mth later i gave my heart 2 Jesus and from tt on.. i experienced quite a change of life..
at tt time the church was in jurong west.. sometimes i hav 2 travel all the way there by train until i realized tt there's shuttle bus 2 bring me there.. but still the shuttle buses hasn't realli save my costs overall.. 6 mths after i joined the church i enrolled into tuition ministry and travellin from church 2 cg on sat could cost quite abit.. and tt time i was convinced by pastor's offerin msgs 2 give.. despite all the slanders tt the church tithes and takes $$ from the ppl i still belive tt wat im givin is givin it unto the LORD.. and i always giv my best.. $2 is wat i always giv.. and its realli much more then wat i gave durin other kinds of donations..
so between yr 1 and yr 2.. im always givin and persecutions ar always comin.. i rem there ar weeks where i jus hav less than 10 dollars when i go 2 church.. after payin my tithes and offerings it became much lesser.. but its jus enuff 4 me 2 buy a bowl of wanton noodles which costs me $2.. some days when i hav abit more $$ i would treat myself 2 a better meal.. like xiao wan mian.. or kwey chap.. hahahah.. there ar days where i hav 2 drink the soup tt comes wif the wanton noodles coz i hav no xtra $$$ 2 buy drinks.. and so after svc i usu head home.. i do not hang ard 2 see if we could go anywhere but i jus follow those who ar goin home 2 go home..
amd God is a gddd God.. in 2005 when i was somewhere ard yr 2 and 3 i found a part time job which aided me in my daily expenses.. and from tt on i hav $$$ 2 buy drinks and eat xiao wan mian and laksa or even kway chup.. hahaha.. then when we shifted 2 expo i didnt realli hav much financial probs here and there.. esp tt yr when my attachment job earns me 800 per mth which coz some "discontent" and "jealousy" among my poly mates.. and after i grad i found temp jobs.. and then NS i dun hav much financial probs.. and my daes jus go on peacefully jus like tt..
nowadays when i see our cg hav financial probs here and there i jus tot of those daes when i was "poor".. and how God paved my way from lack 2 jus enuff 2 more than enuff.. i jus wan 2 encourage those who ar strugglin wif daily expenses and pocket $$: believe God wif all ur heart tt u'll reap abundance.. do not despise ur offerings and tithes.. and dun even tink of skippin them.. pay ur tithes and offerings faithfully.. God is not mocked.. 4 watever we sow we reap..
and then eventually.. jobs will come our way.. when we dilligent seek 4 part time jobs or holidae jobs we'll eventually find them.. students!! be encouraged greatly!!
