Integrity truimphs over Money!

I made a great decision today so I thought this would be a good chance to re-revive this blog. Yesterday (Saturday) , I was working as a promoter for colgate and lost a company battery... I kept it to myself until today(Sunday) and wanted to just lie that it wasnt my fault that the battery was missing - deny ever losing it. This would be a convenient to push all the blame and also to save myself from paying the cost of the battery - $50+. I prayed last night that somehow, the battery would be found and I would be saved from all this troubles but something happened! Nothing 'magically' happened but I felt something in my heart. I knew that I couldnt be a coward and be my old self -deny and lie. Therefore, I took the courage and informed my boss of the lost. Although the battery couldnt be found until now and I most likely have to fork out my salary to pay for the loss, I feel that this is the most worthwhile $50 I ever spent! I learnt that sometimes, when you pray for something and it doesnt come true, that doesnt meant that your prayer has not been answered and that God is giving you a chance to learn from your mistake. I knew that if God helped me during this trail, I would not have learnt anything and would never have mustered up my courage to admit to my mistakes. Hefty price but a lesson well-learnt!Praise to the Lord!

Tomorrow, I would be taking back my 'O' level results! Hope to get the marks I desire and get into the course I always wanted to be in. Wish that tomorrow's result would be a good one so as to be a reward to today's trail and not another trail of failure! Praying hard!
