It Does Work!

Remember I wrote here before that I withdrew money from my Paypal account to my credit card last week and I wasn't sure how it'll go? Well, here's an update and a good one too!

I checked my credit card status online to see if my Paypal withdrawal has already been credited to my card. And there it was!

11/07	PAYPAL *WITHDRAWAL ********		PHP 3,739.95
	USD 85.00

As if I wasn't convinced yet, so I double checked it by calling the credit card company to confirm my payment for the month. And it's been settled! Yipee!

I just have to see it with my own eyes to believe that this really works because I know it does in other parts of the world but I wasn't sure if it's going to be the same here. Receiving money through Paypal is relatively new here in the Philippines. But now, I'm convinced! Paid blogging does work and so does Paypal!

Thank you, Lord, for this blessing!

Say No Evil

We're about to leave in a while for another meeting, but before I do, let me just share this with you real quick.

Last weekend, I got a call from my sister and she was fuming mad. Mom and dad were having problems at home. That same night, I also got a call from a long lost friend, Joyce, who shared with me some stories that really made me upset.

Joyce and I met nine years ago and became friends but we lost touch and saw each other again last Friday. She saw me at the lobby getting my mail. It so happened that she also lived on the same building. She moved in last month.

At my unit, Joyce and I talked about friends, life and about God. We did a lot of catching up. I've learned that she's in and out of depression because her fiancé passed away just recently. They've been together for 11 years. She was totally lost and you could tell right away. I got to share with her the Word of God and she agreed to go with me to church.

Now going back to what upset me, the following night, as I said earlier I got a call from my sister and from Joyce too. Joyce said that her obsessed suitor, who happened to be a friend of my boss, whom I met once a few months back said something ugly about me. It wasn't the words spoken that got me upset but the fact that I'm going through this same ordeal again! If people won't mock my faith, they will say ugly things about me. Was I surprised? No, I wasn't although I was amazed on how creative these people can be sometimes. They can really make up stories! The funny thing was this obsessed guy and his friends didn't know that Joyce and I knew each other.

I told two of my cell group mates about this and they have only this to say, "Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world... The enemy thought he won? Think again! If God is for you, who can be against you? Hold on to God, hold on to His promises. God knows everything that's happening. He will protect you." Then they prayed for me.

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

$$$ Blogging $$$

As some of you know, I have been blogging for quite some time now and just recently I got interested in paid blogging. Please know that I'm not being paid for this particular post. I just want to share with my friends in Blogsville what this paid blogging has done for me so far. Some of you might get interested too and I want to voice out my experiences and my thoughts regarding these things.

Some people has taken blogging as a full time career, but for most of us this is just a sideline so to speak. Most of us wanted to earn extra to help pay bills or probably to buy something we have been wanting to buy but our budget wouldn't allow us to. Different people have different reasons but the important thing is we enjoy what we're doing.

As I've mentioned before, I have been doing this for a little over a month now and so far I have already earned a few hundred dollars to my Paypal account. I was so excited when I got my first pay! I have yet to see how it would go with my credit card because I made my first withdrawal yesterday. *grin*

Here are the following paid blogging companies that I highly recommend if you decide to join the growing population of paid bloggers:

Having said all these... Enjoy blogging y'all!
