The Valley And Beyond
Filed Under Personal
On the middle of all these mess, I can’t help but imagine about what lies beyond the valley. Simply put, what’s waiting for me and my family. Just like anybody else, I’m also human who hopes that everything will be cleared. Dreaming is my temporary respite from all the pressures and stress of my current situation. Somehow, it gives me energy to move forward — to do my responsibilities especially here at the office. Despite being bothered, I must continue life.
In line with that, we’ve able to disburse a considerable amount of money from Jan 23 until today. That’s for my accounts alone and I’m very thankful to our Lord for providing us the money. It came from various sources mainly from the business, of course. I’m also thankful to my employer who gave us performance bonus and the lowered tax rate is applied. They all came at a right time. But yes, despite all these, we’re still short of almost twice that amount. The sad thing is, it will grow larger with as time progresses because there are scheduled dues. But we can only do so much.
It’s an uphill battle that becomes more and more difficult each day. On every hill taken, there’s another one much higher than the last. It’s like the only easiest day was yesterday.
It is said (I also believe) that “HOPE IS NOT A COURSE OF ACTION” but when it’s only the best thing that you can do, you have to hold onto it. I pray that one day, I’ll be able to get a glimpse what’s beyond the valley. With God on my side, I know we’ll get there…. in His time.
