You will be made rich in every way...

On June 19, I am officially jobless but am not seeking for a new employer. In fact, I have volunteered to be included on the recession. Some might say it is foolishness to do this specially in these tough times (credit crunch). Surprisingly, I am at peace when I have done this. I have no qualms or whatsoever of having no job although my husband’s new salary has not taken effect yet. In fact, I have viewed this as God’s favor. True, it is my will to rest, so I decided to resign effective on mid July. Nonetheless, God’s favor is abounding on me, so I will not leave the company empty pocket.. Hallelujah! With these, I’m thinking of investing it to something for God’s glory. As God’s steward, I need to have a good and balanced perspective on where I should put the money so it will multiply. I was bombarded and overwhelmed by lots of information regarding investment, but I think no one can really predict the future (No one has foreseen the global crisis that we are experiencing)…And so, I would instead connect deeper and in a more regular basis with the Lord so I may follow His wisdom. For God alone knows the future and He is in control of everything (2 Chronicles 29:11, 12). He entrusted me with these blessings for a reason, and that is to be a blessing to others…

“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous in every occasion.” – 2 Corinthians 9:10-11a

Debt is Dangerous!

Im reading Tom Copland's BIBLE Finance 101.. http://biblefinance101.wordpress.com/

"God loves us and he does not want us to become a servant to a lender and suffer its consequences"

God warns us of the dangers of debt and strongly discourages borrowing..

Level up..

We just moved into our new haven, it’s not truly ours thou as we pay monthly rent but nevertheless an advancement for me and my husband. Finally we did! We’ve been wanted to live on our own not just to have our freedom but mainly to learn and grow as married couple. Only, we haven’t do so for some considerations. But what delights me more is the shopping part (undeniably I’m a woman!). I was already able to purchase some of our furniture and still more things to buy.
Sooner, by God’s grace, we will get our own home J.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. “ – Jeremeiah 29:11

AMEN!
