wow, I haven't been blogging for a long time! Many things have happened for this past 1 month. In all, I have grow to love God more. And this is good! =)
Know some good friends, friend who will be there to encourage you every times and inspire you to be better in life. Isn't it great? =)
Went to Good news Singapore and hear Planetshakers live! That was really great! Looking forward to Stream of Praises coming in Aug. Looking forward to clearing all my exams in August! wow, really have to study every month and it's ...... tough... =( one exam every month! This will really keep me busy!
Im working harder too in my work and I wanna make this year my best year ever! =) I have chosen to honor God in all that I do and He has shown me that to do well in my business, Im honoring Him and bringing glory to Him! Amen! SO Shirley, no excuse.... you will have to work harder and nonor Him! Amen!
I have been praying for nearly 1 year on buying a car... the moment I saw Chervolet Spark. I know it's for me! It's small, it's cute it's logo is in the shape of a cross! and it's motto is "Full of life"! Wow, Spark is for me! So ever since I saw Spark last May 08, i set my heart on it. Many people came and discourage me from buying... but I'm not waver... im hearing God! =)
Last December, when I finally gotten my driving license and the COE went down to $2! I set my heart to buy a car and I asked God if I can.
God said No. Not a good time. I can buy, but I will be stressed.
Thank God I didnt! =) 'cos I figured out that I will really be very stressed, with not many cases/sales coming in in the months of Dec, Jan and Feb! Think I will be super stressed to have to support a car!
As time passes, the nature of my job really make me aching all over.... carrying 3kg++ of my bag and laptop around, walking here and there.... I build muscles in my wrist and legs. I have endured for 4 years in this business.... through it all.... one day, I prayed again.... "God, if you are willing, pls help me buy a car this year."
Wasn't thinking about this... then suddenly, I felt an urge to go to the car show room and researching into cars again. Then I met a sales manager and she told me that she has been using Spark for the past 3 years and everything was good. Economical and nice! Wow.... alright... I went to the car showroom and test drive Spark... The price has fell from $39k to $35k to $31k since the last time I saw it. So I will be getting this car at $31k! ($32,499 if I want leather seats, sports rim, solar flims, and reverse sensor.) wow, thank God for helping me save!
Anyway, I prayed and went back to office on Mon. As usual, my colleagues came and persuaded me to get a second hand car or buy a bigger better car. Until the point, I said to myself, "okay okay, i will not buy a Spark! I will wait and see."
After saying this, there is no peace in my heart. wow, I was surprised. Then I check again, "okay God, you want me to buy a Spark now?"
"Yes, else the price will go up again. This is the lowest price you can ever get."
Okay!!!! There you go! I will get my Spark!
To be in time for the COE bidding, I need to decide by wed. COE will increase because govt going to cut the supply of COE by 20%.
I went into the showroom in peace and God just honor me to get a car!
I went in wanting to pay just $32k for this car so I prayed.
$32,499 is the lowest I can get. Usual $33k.
But i know Im God's precious and He will bless.
................... yup, i managed to get another $500 off! And the final price $31,999! Ha.... my boss is amazed! But my God is good!
Thank you Jesus! I didn't know how I will be going to support my car! But I know God will provide for me! Yippeee.....
Shirley, live by faith and not by Sight!
Shirley, honor God and He will honor you! =)
Praise the Lord! =)

P/s: I just checked the price.... its back to $35,088! wow... =)
