When God is in it , there is no limits
” Nothing else matters,
Nothing in this world will do
'Cause Jesus You're the center,
Everything revolves around You
Jesus You,
At the center of it all,
At the center of it all“
Today at about 4pm, my father gave me a text saying that he isn’t going to pay for my bible college that cost 6K & above. He expects me to forged up my own money and pay it on my own. The moment I hear that news , my heart broke into pieces. I am not someone who earns even more than 3K and at that point i broke down in tears because thinking ok maybe that calling wasn’t for me. I didn’t know what to do or what to say at that point of time. A lot of why’s and anger. I thought it’s suppose to be a new season. Sigh....
Throughout that entire ordeal I am reminded that Jesus is at the Center of everything whether it be finance or even through different waves of seasons that I go through or will about to go through.
Somehow I felt heartbroken because whatever I write & earn in steemit will probably help me in the future but as I was spending time with the Lord , the Lord laid someone very close in my heart and somehow that person is too going through a financial problem which is way more tighter than me. The Lord clearly spoke , “ transfer whatever you have in your account to that person “. I didn’t need to think triple times, i just obey the Lord and did it. And after I did it , the Lord spoke to me “ Trust in Me for I will provide for You “. And that set an assurance in my heart that , yes God is my one and only provider. If I am meant to go to bible school , He will provide despite the circumstances.
Sometimes it’s always so easy for us to look at the darker side of things or even think negatively , but let me tell you that there is always a silver lining. There’s is always a brighter light at the end of the tunnel. Be positive about things.
Sometimes blessing or even helping someone can go a long way. Not only because you love that person very nucb but because you want to see that house be a house that serve the Lord together and to see family members being part of a family that only exalts the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!
I am reminded that

It’s not over for me and you. Keep trusting the Lord for that miracle , breakthrough or even your provision. God provides.
When God gave me a scholarship to study despite my horrifyingly bad results, I was entrusted with allowance to survive for a few months. It was a large sum, but 10% was 10%, in reality, it would cost me a lot, but nothing is impossible with God, throughout 13 years of my studies, I have never ever been in need. I have just sent you 10SBD, its all I have now. But with God, 10SBD is nothing with the blessings that he will give.
💕💖 💓 💗
Sorry, missed out the most important part, was reminded just now...There was a slight tug in my heart, I was only going to upvote, and that still small voice asked me to do something about it instead of just commenting. Thus, the 10SBD, God bless!
Thank you so much @alvinauh . I couldn't be more blessed. May God continue to bless you manifolds in return too! God bless you!
I might not be the person who comes from a wealthy family and I understand the need for money to survive especially during the economic downfall. I never had my parents to forge out money for me to pursue my education even if I made it to overseas. I told myself, if I don't do well, all I have in future is regrets. I don't want my life to live in griefs that why I fought for everything I can to get the scholarships that I ever wanted. And now, seeing you being struggled with finances and not able to pursue your dream breaks my heart! I might not be able to contribute much, but, I hope my little help could able help you through. Good luck Chloe and may God bless you!
Thank you so much @explorenations . Keep pursuing, keep running the race. God bless you too!
very inspired by your story. praying together with You. with God all things are possible. watching this space to hear more updates about your journey :)
Amen! Thank you so much @calebleejl. He never fails. Will update as i go through the journey (: God bless you!
🙌🏼
i hope you will be comforted by the fact that God even blesses an asshole like me (you can ask @zord189 @macam.yes @notimetospace @nanastraybutt @perennial how much of a strayed churchgoer I am), what more you who love him and desires to go to bible school to glorify his name.
<3

I'm not religious but I do understand enduring and perseverance.
Keep persevering!
Thank you so much @branlee87
Thank you for sharing your very personal story to me. It takes a lot of courage to do so. I'm very encouraged by you and your level of faith. There are also many times during my university years and working years that I've been faced with so many ugly situations that I doubted/question God. But in my heart, I knew He is the center of it all, He has overcome, He has victory at the end of the day. He tells me things that are very similar like yours, so I truly understand what you're going through. He tells me to give everything when I had none/little left, and I began to question Him. But I knew God will provide, He is Jehovah Jireh, mine and your provider too.
He loves you very much and He is pleased with you.
I'm pretty sure you may feel like it's so tiring and no one may understand you, but God listens.
Here is a song for you. Cheer up, you have many friends here.
Amen! Yeah He truly provides despite the circumstances, it't not easy but that what makes life fun. You have go through the waves in order to come out stronger. And oh! i love that song! Thank you so much. God bless you too @zord189 , Continue to run after the Father's heart and only Pursue Him!
Nothing is impossible girl girl. I know this is a time of trial so do not worry. Take one step at a time and keep steem-ing on. 6K RM per semester with prayers, discipline and wisdom of God financially, you can do it.
I am almost debt free because I gave my finances to God. I hardly have 100 RM left every month in my account in 2016 as I was clearing my debt (including in and out of UMSC at the time) but still not managing wisely; but God gave me a plan and I followed His plan strictly.
2017 was challenging, but God always have something for me to keep despite of clearing debts. I can say the second half of the year I could clear ALL my credit card expenses every month and they never overflow, despite of still a lot of expenses to cover.
Steemit was also (I believe) God's way of provision and I met awesome people. Despite of so many things happened as you have experienced with me, I only have 750 RM debt left and I can officially start saving.
So trust God. 100% give ALL your salary to HIM and let HIM teach you how to set aside, tithe, contribute, and spend. He'll tell you where to get the best deals and how to eat healthily, travel safely and still able to go for your Bible College. I know HE can. Nothing is impossible to HIM just as you said.
I have given you 100% upvote. Let's see how much I can get others to help upvote and see.
The tears just have to come out the moment i read this. omg. What more i'm at work =="
Thank you for the encouragement and love kaima <3 @littlenewthings
Tears of joy... ok... ok... I also give you a 100% upvote...
With LOVE and HUGS!
GROUP HUG!!
I am going to try to replenish my VP as much as I can, and if I can upvote everyone's reply, I will do so. Thank you so much @elizacheng for such a great supporter
I am so overwhelmed by all the comments and love.. Thank you so much , i can't even comprehend. Feeling so loved & blessed! @littlenewthings @elizacheng
@elizacheng Thank you (:
very encouraged to hear about your story as well @littlenewthings. thanks for sharing it. :)
praise God you're almost done with your debts. every good and prefect gift comes from above! :)
Amen @calebleejl . Well that is first phase. Now I have to take on a bigger loan to get my parents in.
I have prayed so many times whether to rent a place or to acquire of my own.
And many times God said,
BUY
So as how God is picking up @chloephuan93 in her journey, I know God will provide everything that I need too. I have been searching high and low for a property within my budget and not far from my church, UMSC, and work.
oh my. it's so amazing to hear that God is so close and personal in one's life. if He points the direction as clear as that, it's hard to take another path.
praying together with you for everything to work out in regards to your property search. God knows best. we just have to trust! :)
Amen indeed! And I just checked. 1K SBD today's price, is enough to cover for 15% deposit and legal fee!
I know God led me to Steemit for a reason, I just need to trust Him to His instructions.
When we learn to surrender totally , we lose some (toxic) friends, starve the flesh ; but what it is lifted from the stress is totally worth it.
Romans 8:28 had always been my life's mantra. As long as I remain as one that loves Him, and called to His purpose, He'll caused all things to work! I believe if God brought Steemit to you, it can not only work as an income stream, but also a platform to share your life and faith while making an impact in the lives of others. I'm already seeing that and I praise God for that! :)
