I am worried about money again.
Friends who know me knew that I struggled with money a lot before I went to America. I did not get scholarship from school, I did not want to ask my family to help, so I worked very hard to make money, I saved money on food, transportation. I know that going to America for 6 months will be an extra expense to my family, that's why I want to do as much as I can to save up my own money to pay for the fee.
At the end, I saved up some and my parents paid for some, and I had enough to use. I had an awesome time on this exchange program in the States, I realized that no matter how worried I was, God will always look after me. I met good American friends and they offered me free rides so that I was able to save up money on transportation; I contacted my old friends to ask if they can offer me places to stay when I went to their cities and they always said "yes". I am so thankful. I don't need to worry. But I am also proud of myself that I worked hard to reach my goal, that was not fun, but it was a good experience. If you want something, you can't just sit there and ask for it.You may feel Pain and Frustration and Bitter before you can taste the sweetness.

And this time, I have something want to do again and I know I have to do it all over again as what I mentioned earlier. Work again, save up money again, but I try not to worry. I know how I felt at that time, 8 months ago. I calculated the money I had in my account everyday even though I know it would be the same within a month, I was so nervous, I always cried because I was worried. I don't want that anymore. Even though I am not sure if that would happen, I will just keep doing it, and keep praying about it.
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.
His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7)
