Hello Steemians!
I just want to share a a little experience today that shows how Good our God is even in little things.
Time check: 1:08PM(22 mins until our class to start)
As I was going to school, I was not able to go to lunch because our food was too hard for me to chew and I also had difficulties in swallowing food.
I have 3 wisdom teeth growing at the same time and 2 big mouth sores. The other one is behind one of the wisdom teeth and the other mouth sore is at my uvula. Imagine how difficult it is to eat with these inside your mouth. Haha!
What I did is I slowly drank milk instead but the pain that I felt at my Uvula was still screeching even though I did not put sugar in it. Drinking the milk took time but I needed to fill my stomach because I did not have breakfast so I endured the sore. After drinking the milk, I drank a bit of water to get rid of the sore. But going outside, it was still radiating.
Time Check: 1:14PM
As I was going outside, I counted my allowance for the day and I only had P32 with me. I budgeted it good for the fares only. P8 for the tricycle and P7 for the jeepney. Double that for back and forth fare. So what I had was really just good for the fares with extra P2. But I was really hungry.
I, then went outside to see if there was a banana cue as I was going to school. I thought of eating banana cue instead because I could easily bite off the banana since I knew the banana was cooked well, enough for me to chew a few times then swallow. I bought 1 that costed P10. As I was eating the banana, the sore from my mouth was still making it so difficult to eat. What could I do but eat what I had.
So instead of paying P8 for the tricycle, I bought the banana cue instead to suffice my hunger. So because I bought the banana cue instead of riding a tricycle, I walked my way to the waiting area for the jeepneys.
Time Check: 1:25PM(5 mins until our classes)
The jeepneys that passed by were all full. So I decided to walk to the terminal at J Center Mall. As I was walking, I was hoping that no jeepney would pass because I knew that there was a nearby store that I could buy water from. I really needed the water for the sore because I was already sweating hard because of the pain.
Unfortunately, as I was almost at the store, a jeepney was empty so I needed to decide if I should wait for another jeepney to pass by which could possibly take long and let me be too late for class just to buy water for my sore or get on the jeepney so that was empty.
Time Check: 1:28PM
I was in the jeepney. Yep! I chose the jeepney. But I had to endure my mouth sore at my Uvula. I really needed water that time. After a couple of minutes, a street vendor was selling water and he climbed at the back of the jeepney. And I said to myself, "Wow. Thank you so much Lord for letting me be in this jeepney. Letting me the first to ride to easily get off the jeepney and not be late was already good for me. But when you let this man climb on the jeepney........ Thank you so much, Lord God!".
I bought the water worth P15. And the jeepney fare was P7. My money was just really enough.
Remember? I only had P32 for the day.
I spent P10 for the Banana Cue, P15 for the water, and P7 for the jeepney. Geez! How my money was just enough for today! Haha!
Time Check: 1:50pm(20 mins late for the class)
I arrived at school and ran towards our room because I was already 20 mins late. As I was heavily breathing arriving at our classroom, I was still thankful to God.
"No Teacher = No Attendance"
"YEEEEES! HAHAHAHA!"
