one of those days

today was one of those days where it might've been better just hiding under the covers.

started of pretty okay really. standard 0532 wake up call with 5min snooze, spending time just enjoying His presence, brekkie and off to work! tat's where the drama began. i receive a note entitled 'hello freaky darlings...' omg. turns out to be one of my freaky friends who has written to inform me one of my fav clients died on sunday. i really liked this client cos she was always so happy to see me and was always encouraging regarding everything. she was pretty old (91) but quite healthy and very lucid. as i treated her for back pain, she would tell me stories of her travels and we'd trade human-relations-experience. anyway, she suffered a massive stroke and bam, she was gone. just like that. thinking about it still makes my heart ache. i realise how i never actually felt anything over a clients death before. but g was special. felt so numb the whole day.

soon after the aide wanted a piece of me. then the bosses. then the claims for treatment for g (cos she was not around to sign the forms) was extra stress. then another lady fell over and then when i came back i realised my blog thing couldn't display? haha twas just one stupid thing after another. but i'm glad it's more or less settled now. and may my lady g rest in the joy and peace of our heavenly Father. goodbye my friend, i'm definitely going to miss you :)

confessions of a spending queen

ok honestly i have no idea why i'm so broke.

i'd to endure a 1 hour long 'lecture' from my housemate yesterday about how i've been working for that long and should technically have HEAPS of savings! (yes u read right... from my housemate! ;d she means well tho, she's a gem!) BUT i don't. i don't have any savings and guess wat? i'm about to immerse myself in huge debt. and it's all my fault.

no, i've not taken up gambling and lost heaps at the casino or something. tho sometimes i wish i did. gamble tat is, not lose. cos then there might be a teeny chance of the slightest windfall. but no. i don't gamble.

it's my stupid future that costs so much! how do people survive on measly paychecks? here are some of my estimated costs for the next 6 mths. $3000 for PR ($5000 if i wanna go thru the migration agent), $600 physio professional insurance, $1000 for car insurance, $88/mth for health insurance, $350 for physio registration, $450 to be a member of the physio association, $660/mth in rent... and cos i wanna do my masters-- $1000 for prep course, $500 for the exams... and that doesn't even include like food, entertainment, tithing, money for parents, other car payments, shopping?!!! i'm just about to pull all my hair out now. where am i gonna find such money! anyone has any ideas? better yet, anyone interested in donating to the SSF (save sharon fund)?

hAha. so i pray i pray i pray. tat moolah will fall into my lap from the sky. o God please let it happen. not a gold bar lest it kills me. but em, like few thousand dollar notes floating into my lap pleeease? ;) heHhEHheh...

evangel

today was the first time this year i shared my faith to someone i've never shared with before. the result? a lingering uneasiness.

there's a look that pierces the soul and i've only seen it twice. a transparent glare that's masked by an innocent comment. a darkness that i can't describe.

she sincerely believes she belongs to light (the good side). that she has psychic powers and can talk to dead people and spirits. she believes in god and Jesus Christ but not that he is the only way. she doesn't like the bible but knows bits and pieces which she uses to try to knock me (&my beliefs) back. don't get me wrong. she's a nice lady. middle-aged, opinionated but kind-hearted. strong in character and the dominant alpha-type-female. but she's so wrong about so many things and isn't open to the truth. she performs reiki and deals with the absorption and transference of people's energy. she claims to commune with the other world and fights against satan. in her 'travels' to the other world, she says hell is a big foggy darkness. she says it's scary cos it's so dark that you can't even see your hand in front of you. i like her as a person. but i find her other side scary.

and i tried... i prayed for wisdom and i tried to rationalize with her regarding the sin of man and grace of God and that the only way to God is through Jesus Christ. and she understands what i believe but she doesn't want to touch it as it is my belief and not hers (postmodernism). yet i feel uneasy. is it ok to just tell her the truth and leave her believing that hers is still is? she believes some... just not the whole thing. what i else can i do but pray? and i'm curious too. i'm curious to know more about this mysticism/tribally-belief she's into. but at the same time i don't want to know more lest i stumble myself. i pray that i will be an effective witness- that i will not be influenced but influence. that i will stand firm...

'he who is in me is greater than he tat is in the world'. i will not be afraid. emmanuel.
