money money money.

day 228.
donated $5 to sickkids foundation for wearing jeans :) wearing jeans to work is so fun! it feels like a slack friday...and I don't have to wear heels too! hehehehh.

work has been alright, and I say alright because everything I do seems easier now..I'm not as scared as I was before. I still dislike making calls to the cra and the thought of emailing clients make my hands shiver. But what I'm enjoying most is how I come early to work, settle in, open windows explorer, and type in biblegateway's daily Bible verse. I like it because it gets me thinking throughout the day. When I have no motivation, I go back to the verse and I think more. I feel that my time is more enjoyable or "spent" well. I also start singing and humming quietly (in case other people don't want to hear me sing/hum) - it makes me smile :) It brightens up my day. I look out the windows, huge windows I might add; I spend the time looking out and remind myself of the One who created the heavens and the earth.

I am currently confused about how to finance my earnings. I've never earned so much in my life, and when I saw the amount (I haven't got paid yet) on the e-mail, I was stunned but then it got me thinking how all this money I'm earning is in a way virtual money. Like it's not real to me. I know people can argue how it is a monetary good but that is how I think of money. It's only paper. Not even. cotton and linen too (I yahooed it) - for nice texture? hahaa. And automatically I thought of how much I should give to God, the Church. Tithe = to pay one tenth of, Leviticus 27:30-32. Is it just alright to give 10%? I want to give more. I want to pay 90%. However, since I am earning money now I understand I need to save it for tuition, for housing (oh my, I don't have a place to live!), for textbooks...how can I save? Then it can be said that God provides and I agree. He will provide, the Bible tells you so (try searching provide on biblegateway, lots of results!). I know that 10% is the minimum but if you have the heart to give more to God because He has done SO MUCH for you (the list is infinite) then you give as much as your heart contents. So I feel heated, I feel middleground (not sure if that word is used correctly) and I'm going to pray. Goodnight.

and HAPPPY BIRTHDAY DENISE! :) HAHAHA. You are fearfully and wonderfully made! Praise God!
