Success, Wealth, Rainbow
It was a really boring & meaningless day today, sitting in the room & discussing about mission, vision, etc. that I have heard about million times. All these propaganda......They are really torturing my soul......All these talking are really meaningless when a person's heart and actions doesn't really mean it. We can still do many meaningful things without all these talking & blabbering.....
But I guess it was in such an environment & situation that "provokes" me to think what I really want out of life & where god is leading me. Yes, now I really focus a lot on financial planning, financial freedom, retiring early at around age 45-50 and becoming a millionaire by age 50. I want to be successful, I want money, I want financial freedom. But there's nothing wrong with it when I know I have the right motive in my heart. Money is not the root of all evil, but it is the "evil craving" for money that is the root of all evil. Christianity is link with success & wealth, it is not link with poverty and hardship. It is only when we have money, then we can have influential power to help people & change people's life. If we are struggling financially, and can't even help ourselves, how are we able to help others? I am very touched and motivated by what S is doing in china & I want to be like her.
So when E asks me why I'm always talking about becoming a millionaire now, when I never talk about it last time, I know what she is thinking in her mind and what she is implying. So when she adds that X read in the papers that "C1"'s voluntary organizations are being investigated, I feel both angry & troubled because until now, she still doesn't understand me. I was in "C2" for 5 years, I obviously know what their mindsets are like, and I read the papers everyday too, so how can I not know what is happening in this world. Yes, I agree its because of "C1" that I have finally have the courage to venture out and excel and have a breakthrough in myself. Please don't judge and form an opinion when one doesn't really know the truth yet. Now, you know why "C2" is not growing while "C1" is challenging ourselves to grow even further.
But nevertheless, I was still very troubled and puzzled in the evening and start to really wonder whether I will really achieve this goal that I have set for myself. But whilst jogging and thinking about this issue, I suddenly saw a beautiful bright rainbow bridge right ahead of me, and at that moment, I become speechless, and peace and serenity enters my heart naturally. I was so amazed and I feel that this is a sign that our heavenly father has sent to me. I still don't know how god will open the way for me, but I will have faith and believe that one day, everything will be done in his will and in his time.
(Dear E, if you happened to read my blog one day, please don't be angry about what I have written. I still hold you dearly as a friend although sometimes we may not agree on many issues. You should know that I am not easily influnced by others, and I will only hold on to the truths written in the bible. I pray that both of us will grow in the lord no matter where we are.....)
