As human, we depend too much on our own ability. We believe that we can handle everything that we are involved in life. We believe we have the solution and the way out for every problem that we are facing. Many times when things goes wrong, or life just doesn't go as we have planned, we blame ourselves first and worse we blame God for everything.
The truth is, recently I just spend RM299 to buy a gadget, and just few days ago I saw a different model only cost RM130+ for a secondhand one, and around RM50+ for an unknown brand but it serve a same purpose as the one that I just bought.
Usually I do not care so much when I already bought something, but this is totally different for me. Honestly, I'm not really doing good financially. I spend the money out of my impulsive emotion to own that gadget, when all along that small lil' voice in me told me that I should wait a lil' bit longer.
I didn't wait and I disobeyed.
This is just a small example in life when you do everything according to your own feeling and ability. Somehow along the way you will reached a limit where you just can't take it anymore or you just can't go on any longer.
Somehow turning to God for help, seems like a silly act. You can't see Someone that you believe can help you, and how is that possible? I never doubt the existence of God but I never really trust/rely on Him to provide the direction in my life. I was busy taking things into my own hands.
That is about to change.
Until next time, see you around my friend =)

sekecil mana pun persoalan dalam hati lebih baik say it to God first ..
Oh well~ higher price is quality. gadget for a usage involving my life, I will choose a better one. 2nd hand, we might not know how the previous owner used it.
ReplyDeleteSee you again.
that's the thing we have in common i guess..i'm a bit impulsive in buying things, without thinking the consequences..well, turning to God is not a silly act actually..it's the best, asking from God..He knows all :)
ReplyDeleteHaha that's dangerous xD
ReplyDeleteIt's not that regret I bought it. I'm just disappointed that I didn't obey. Haha
ReplyDeleteHaha, my rules to that, is once you bought, never go and purposely compare the price with other shop ever again. What's done is done :D
ReplyDeleteYup. This case I failed to trust the Lord with what I wanted and I handle things my way. Its not I regret buying the gadget, is that I disappointed that I failed to obey and believe that God will provide.
ReplyDeleteHaha oh yeah... Always go for the best in life :D
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thanks for making me notice that I had use the wrong word ^^ I used 'compulsive' instead of 'impulsive', haha my mistake.
ReplyDeleteIt's not silly I know =) Just that tho I know its not silly but I never really do that. End up things just didn't go the way it suppose to be. Haha. This is something I must learn.
For gadget i will go for the brand new one. Bukan mahu tinggi diri tapi mcm Mei Tzu ckp,enda tahu previous owner dia pakai mcm mana. But oklah bah tu u spent like RM299 over a brand new gadget rather than you spend for nothing like for suka2x.
ReplyDeleteWell, i believe in God. Arggg, i skipped on this. I know I am not a good christian. Sudah lama tidak pigi church but that doesn't mean i forgot about God.OH well I skipped this.
