God didn't Short-change me!

5th Sep 07,

Really thank God, and finally, I get to experiece the ever popular saying ' God will never never never never shortchange you' or 'God will bless back so much more than you can contain'. - when you give to God, perhaps generously.
I remember Michael Santoso, and countless other people who shared their testimonies on stage, convictedly testifying of the above.

But for me.. I have not experience it before. And I have also given to God e.g to pay off the building fund loan (with my personal loan still outstanding) since early and 2005-2007, and of course the tithing.In End April, the church finally paid of it's loan, with excess in hand too! I was happy for the church but sad for myself.

Hmm.. Thinking what will happen. Hence I expect God to work in my situation.My savings were depleted, and my CPF contribution increased from 5% to 15% and 20% just last month. Hence, my take home pay also decreased by the years.

Around 1 months after that, my brother called me and told me that he will give me some money as he earned some shares through his company's shares/stock.I didn't know the amount then, and I secretly hoped that the amount will be great, that I will be able to pay off my loan with was still ard 5k.

However, I was a little disappointment as I only got 2k plus, not enough to pay my loan, but I mustered up my savings and managed to pay off my study loan in June 07! Yay! Praise the Lord. (oops, still have comp loan to pay, bu interest free)I told God I want to experience Him in the aspect mentioned above, and so that I can convictedly say the above too! For His glory.

I was wondering why I got so little, less than I need or I expect.So.. Waited.

Just early this week, I got and offer for internal promotion for the position I wanted (CRA) since 1 year ago. Went for countless interviews mid this year but no doors opened.Was grateful to God for this. I didn't know what my salary will be earlier, until I was ushered into my Senior boss's room. He showed me the contract, and I was shocked (inside, and trying to hide my smile)To see that I was given ~33% increase, and the salary was higher than I expected or think I would get.

Wahh..

Come to think back, in March 07, I was promoted also to Sr.position, and I got a 20% plus increment. So, in 6 month/less than a year, I got over 50% increment, and in my 2 years few months in my current company, my salary was increased 69%! Faster/ than I could imagine.

But the bad news is, after CPF, not much left..

but still,
So praise the Lord, who loves me and now I've experienced His blessing, and finally I can convictedly say, God never short-change me.

(hmm, think my conviction still need to be tested..)
