Lately...
Thursday, December 4, 2008
I am so puzzled and curious at how things are happening in my life. I told you I invested $50 in stocks back in August, and I am supposed to get money from that stocks which doubled many times from that amount. When I found out while in Las Vegas, I got an email from that stock market and they say it is 93%, which is close to 95% when I could get the money out of the stocks. Since I figured it would be close to the end of the year when I could get the money, I am thinking of going to Belize. Well, I have thought for a long time about quitting my job on day just before Christmas, and then go to Belize for New Year. Just before I went to that deaf seminar at Penn Valley Christian Retreat, I need a new pair of shoes. I went to Walmart; I knew if I continue to work at Keystone Koating, I would need a steel-toe shoes to comply with the company policies. I don't favor steel-toe shoes, by the way. Anyway, I was having a hard time deciding what shoes to buy for Penn Valley. I want a nice pair, good enough to be wore in church service as well as playing volleyball. It would be my new work shoes. When I am back from Penn Valley, I got fired the first day. I was humiliated, and of course, you can bet that I won't EVER do that again. Still, I get the feeling that God have a special plans for me...
After all, it makes me feel confirmed that stock market is for real. Before that time, I don't expect much from it. Then when I got fired, I get the feeling that God want me take some time for Him. Then I got an email from a pastor or something in Africa, saying that God will do great things in my life. Now, in situations I am in, I felt funny reading that email. I makes me think that God have a special purpose for me for sure. Shortly afterward, I got another email from that same man saying that if I am single, I should get myself a wife. I thought that was so strange, being so soon after I got that another email. Again, I felt like God is trying to tell me something. For a long time, I have that gut feeling like God is trying to remind me to donate my money. I knew for a long time that the Bible teaches that if you donate your money to a good cause, God will bless you. I finally gave in and gave my friend who is in deaf mission work in Belize some money on Tuesday morning.
For some time, I keep reminding myself not to put trust in stock market. What if that stock market I invested in is a scam? I want to put trust in God, so I won't be disappointed. But I was having a hard time trying to decide if I should go look for a job or if I should wait for that money. If I do get that money, then I plan to quit my job, so what's a point of starting to work?
Still, I do think about the parable of talents that Jesus told. "Occupy until I come," you know. Because of this, I felt strongly that I should be kept busy until the timing is right. I want to get God's blessings, you know.
That's why I decided to apply for SSDI and I even ask OVR for help in finding my kind of job. I called Becknock Builders, but I have some hunch that I won't like that job. Before I left, I got a missed call. It was from that lady who is in that stock market. I called back...no answer. I got a call from Patricia Weaver. She was confused about technology, saying something about she lost that picture in her sidekick while trying to text that picture that she received in email. I am not sure what she meant, but I told her I can go visit her after I go to DHHS. I didn't know where SSA office is, so I went to DHHS. The time spend at DHHS took so long, but I had some time to try to find where Patricia lives. I couldn't find her house, so I went home.
That night, I got a phone call from that same lady of stock market, she said that my money hit 95%. I told her I haven't gotten any email. She say I will get one.
Still, I couldn't find my passport anywhere, and I have no idea where I might have left it. I need passport if I want to go to Belize. So I am not sure what God is thinking, but I will find out...eventually...
