DON’T WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, TOMORROW MAY BE BETTER THAN TODAY  

Looking backwards to Jennifer’s journey, her life had relocated to the places she was meant to be so many times. Those were God’s plans, so she could not recognize them from the very beginning. The migration processes were pretty tough. Sometimes, her life had to be totally shaken up, waved away, and sinked down. And then, her living situations had to be changed suddenly. Furthermore, her daily life had to be rearranged unexpectedly.     

Good Life Was Gone and Better Life Came

Several years ago, her living conditions were much richer than current. Both her husband and she had the decent jobs in two different states in the US. They both had 401k retirement saving accounts. If nothing happens, they absolutely can survive after retirement. 

Unfortunately, their lives became vibrant and unstable. She suddenly became sick and had to stop working and leave the state she lived. She moved to her husband’s place for pursuing his help. She had experienced very heart pain time. The insurance company would not pay her more. The company terminated the contact with her. Losing health and job, nothing made sense. Her heart was broken. She missed everything she had lost and didn’t know how her life was going on. 

However, things were not going so worse as she expected. The more she spent time in the new place, the more she realized it was a very nice place for living. Time past fast, her life experienced tremendous change. They bought a beautiful house and her son enrolled a medical school in the state. The house is much cheaper than the state she had worked. They soon paid off mortgage and even paid her son’s tuition for four years.

If she still lives in that original state, she must pay double amount of money for the same kind of the house as they currently bought. They also need to pay double tuition for their son, if he enrolled a medical school there.

Yes, all of those are God’s plan. He has given Jennifer a beautiful house and a comfy home. Now, her son is working on hospitals nearby her area. Due to her poor health, she needs him to simply live in the same city with her. Actually, so far, he didn’t do anything in particular for her, but just to let her feel that she is care for. The older she gets, the more she realizes that she just needs this kind of simple life. She is  surrounded by two persons, husband and son, who love her. Every day, healthy food is on the table. She is really enjoying her current life: a warm home, delicious food and kind people.

Living Became Tightened and Life Still Was Wonderful

Talking about her son’s tuition and living expenses, they paid him eight years college and medical school fees. At the first four years, they didn’t have any problems to pay him, since they both worked in companies. However, gradually, her benefits become less and less. They felt it was hard to do the payment. 

No matter what kind of difficulties they faced, they still thought they did right thing to support their son to get higher education. Before, they invested 401K for the retirement.  Then, they invested their son for the education. They tried to save any penny as possible as they could. They canceled the cable TV, bought the cheapest goods in the cheapest stores and reduced the vacation travels. Her family in her side also gave her a hand to help her to support her son.

Eventually, her son earned a bachelor degree and a medical doctor degree with eight years hard working as an excellent student.

Her husband has not seen his parents in China for many years. Last year they figured out to visit the families in both sides in China. After just releasing from their son’s tuition payment, they started to save money for traveling expenses and gifts again. Unexpectedly, that year, her husband got much more bonus than previous years. Also, her family’s members in China helped her for balancing the expenses in that trip. They bought ton of gifts to relatives and friends for expressing their caring and concern. They had a wonderful trip and came back to the US safely.

Recalling the time as a working woman, Jennifer had been so proud of herself. Every month she made enough money to support her family. She was been highly educated and had a chance worked in the field which she was interested.  

Then, all of those had gone suddenly. She had disappointed herself deeply. Now, she knows all of those are God’s plan for her. He raised her up spiritually and physically. Bible told that the birds in sky have foods and the animals on the ground have foods, and the human being on the earth will absolutely have foods too. 

Believing that God controls the life,  she learns how to lay down her burden. Don’t worry about tomorrow and tomorrow will worry about itself. Every day has enough troubles to worry about. Life is short. Enjoy every happy time. Try to be stress less and laugh more.

For thanks such the biggest givings, she often does contributions in church to express her sincere appreciation. She likes to write some kind words to encourage people, who are in the weakest moment, to help them going through tough times. Yes, the greatest supports she has given them are her concern and attention. 

Life is not only about being self-struggling; but also it needs about being self-enjoying and knowing how to sharing her experiences with some people and encouraging their lives.
