My July Hardship

My July ended abruptly, it was tough and emotional to deal together. Just when you think things can get any better, it gets worse. I was too frustrated with so much things especially financial problems gets on my nerve. Financial problem was saddening. My car broke down in the middle of the road when I was alone, my mom have been bringing the cars to workshops for repaired in and out that had cost a great amount of money. Our house’s water pump had been a problem too. We have so little water to bath, cook, boil water, wash laundry and flushed the toilet. All the tap waters have been choking. Without much water, we have hard time whenever we need to use it. The problem is that we can’t find a proper water pump worker to repair it. We have to save up money, eat less and try to budget.

My days were basically negative all the way in July. Eventually, I cried out and break through my wall. In my toughest moments, I read through a book that was written by a pastor which is consider a Christian book too. To my surprise, I found a line says, “Are you in money difficulties? Is it hard to make both ends meet? This Thing is from Me, for I’m your purse bearer, and would have you draw from and depend upon Me.” Then at the other end was written a verse Philippians 4:19. I opened my bible and found its verse,“ And My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”

I found another verse in Philippians 4:12 which speaks for me. It says, “ I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learnt the secret of being content in any and every situation whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.”

Seeing these verses that God had let me see, I know he’s watching over me and will help me through. Life was never perfect. Here are some more lines that motivated me and I know God has a purpose of me choosing this book. It’s a book that shown me the answer from Him :

Some things can’t be learnt through lectures, they come at the cost of burned fingers or skinned knees. God allowed us to experience suffering in order to facilitate our growth. In another words, God sends trouble into our lives to strengthen us and make us better children in His family. Many roads can be chosen by us too. Our choices will determine what kind of people we turn out to be.

- God had shown me a way, it open my mind as it says experiencing hardships can build a greater wisdom and maturity in myself and I suddenly realized my parents have experienced even greater hardship especially my dad. He had battled with cancer but every trouble brought him closer to God and his into Kingdom.
