Just decided to buy myself some insurance today. For a small sum of money, I get insured for a pretty tidy sum. Should the Lord decide to call me back prematurely, I can leave with a little consolation that the sum can still help my mom and brother here and there. Of course, the best thing is for me to help out financially, in person. =)

Thanks M for spending so much time with me today and for having explained in detail the fundamentals of insurance policy. And I do realise the need to really start saving. As in REALLY SAVE. Do I want to end up being dependent in my later years? I hope not. At least I pray that I will still be able to stand on my own (yes without crutches and walking sticks, please) as well as financially.

Now that I've have had a clearer idea of how much I can potentially save per month, I'm really gonna take a hard look at what I have been spending on and cut down on what is unnecessary. On top of my mom, I'll have another "big brother" to watch out for me and keep me in check. Geez!

As my career (and pay ) grows, I'd want to take a look at my finances, and save, or give more. Tithing is one area I certainly need to look at. It's been a long time since I decently gave to the Lord and I'm thankful that He has been merciful and understanding thus far. Lord, help me to be a cheerful giver!

Work's been really exciting. Boss's very much excited and unveiling new and interesting plans. It's my confirmation soon, and while I am excited to be finally officially part of this family, I really pray for the Lord's blessing and directions to enable and empower me to be an asset to the company, yet still be a good son, brother, friend and...be able to spend quality time with those around me.

Sometimes I fear that I may not be good enough. Nonetheless, God has blessed me with a great boss and even wonderful colleagues who I can work with. Its amazing how comfortable I feel working with them now, considering the fact that this is my first job in this line. Well indeed, its all in His hands and all in his time.

Phil 2:13 says that it is God who works in us to will and act according to His good purposes. May that be fulfilled in me!

P.S : And for those of you who want to know more about insurance and financial planning, I'd be more than glad to refer you to this great guy I know. :)

Cheers.
