This morning as we were heading for my son's scheduled vaccination, the hubby then suddenly remembered what we should have done before the weekend. That is- to deposit our payment for the house rent. He suddenly made this urgent (as if life depends on it!) U-turn to go back. And of all the perfect timing- this has been the day I did not even charge my mobile to call and check with the bank! I felt my lower back became painful- I guessed it could be the stressed from what came into realization like a whirlwind. Alas! When I gotten the chance to charge my Mobile, the bank had an sms from yesterday informing me of my insufficient fund for the issued cheque. So we called the Developer/Owner of where we are living and made the arrangements.
Why am I sharing this to you, you may ask?
Actually what I really want to share was- how I was able to relate on the occurrence of the problem. Though I felt stressed in the beginning, the second actions and feelings that transpired was beyond me! I am not how I was before! I did not condemn my husband, I did not become angry, ok! not too angry at him, I was a bit angry when he asked me to call the bank, because, well I guessed you know, my mobile died on me, haha! (read:lazy to charge). Then I felt calmness and peace. As if Someone's telling me, "this too shall pass". I know it was God. He assured me that everything will be alright, and it did! Though we payed the penalty (which is by the way, not in the budget! of course) we came to realize the importance of being responsible of God's 10%. If in that we're not able to do well, how can we manage the rest of the 90%? I thank HIM for reminding us of this. I thank Him all the more for changing me and the hubby. How we regard each other in the midst of problems like this before was so much different from how we are now. Sure, we still have our misses, but I would much want to emphasize and focus on our hits, because I'm certain we have come a long way :)
