I lost my wallet. The wallet had my bank card, alumni ID card, and some cash that should be used to pay for the electricity bill. I left it on the payment center when I paid the internet bill and just realized I didn't have the wallet when I was with a friend on the milk tea place.
But you know, before, when I used to lose things, such as a phone, a bag, I cry so much. I cry because I know it was my fault and I couldn't bring it back. It was because of my carelessness and not being too aware of the place and the situation. I should have been more sensitive.
What's different with what happened this Saturday was, I kept myself calm (but I was a bit uneasy) and collected, sent my parents the news, and even called my leader. I just thought of greater things- that I should be thankful because I didn't lose my life nor I was harmed- I just lost money and IDs, and that's just about it. I was concerned on how to bring my ATM card back and my alumni ID. Mom called and she said she'll take care of the ATM card, and today I just applied for a new alumni ID card, which would take three weeks to process.
If I have overheard it right, I heard someone in the review class saying 'sinumpa'(cursed). I had my earphones plugged so I couldn't hear it clearly, but I knew people were talking about what happened to me.
Well, to the person who said that, I don't know with you, but no matter how you curse me or say things behind my back or when I'm not aware, I don't mind. If I know that God is with me, who can stand against me?
I looked on what happened to me on a positive note. God will provide. The wallet loss incident, I just thought of it as one of God's tests. A test of faith. I was reminded that God will provide EVERYTHING we need- provision, favor..anything we can ask for, we just need to obey Him, follow Him, love Him, and He will make everything good for us. God will provide! As said in Hebrews 11, He will never leave our side.
I really don't know what's wrong with people who say things behind my back and tell nasty things and curses and whatnots. I know where I stand, and that's with God. I don't mind them. I know where my security lies, but I still pray for God to move inside their hearts and make them realize what they're doing isn't right. They'll get it one day.
Anyway, this has been a productive day. I applied for a copy of my birth certificate and re-applied for my Alumni ID. All I'm waiting is the ATM card, and everything's fine again.
It's a trial from God, and I'm choosing to stay in my walk with Him, no matter what the cost.
