A Week till departure

I'm a week away from departing Singapore. This time, one week later, i'll be shopping around Melbourne city... going to get my bank account settled, going to buy stuff i'll need and snapping pictures all the way. :) seems real surreal but i'm SO looking forward to it i guess. Been looking at photos my fren has been uploading. She just wen to perth and by golly, it looks SO fun. Nothing exciting i guess but just that it's a foreign place, nice scenary and fresh new experiences. :) wowz.

Looking back upon all the jigsaw puzzle pieces that have led to my going to study in melbourne, i cannot say that God was not in every aspect. He made it such that such things could happen and although it's not the typical education pathway i'd have originally thot i'd go down, this is all in God's plan and i'm sure that He'll show me why. He's been so good to me that often times i dun even know how He blessed me so much till this point. And to know that he will continue to bless and love me as i travel is such a thrill and joy. Where can i hide from the Lord? If i make my ascend to the heavens, He is there and if i make my bed in Hell, He is there too. The Lord has been and will watch my going outs and my coming ins... amazing. :) Praise the Lord!

Met new frens and i guess God leads me to those He also wants to reach out to. One of my new frens is seeking the Lord and needs direction and stuff. Praise God that I can offer my hand of fellowship, love and guidance too. The Lord's work never stops and I pray that He'll use me mightily in whatever situation He puts me in. We learnt during NISS class this week that it's never about us and when we're in situtations that glorify God the most, that's all that matters. To an angel, their ultimate joy is in serving the Lord and obeying Him. So if God were to give 2 angels diff assignments, one a road sweeper and one a king, both would be indifferent about the task but would be ultimately joyful in their service to God. Amazing huh?

I thank God constantly for the members of Shalom as well who have supported me and blessed me in so many ways that i cannot mention. Not only have they shown me how far their love reaches but have also never stopped believing in me and the YF. And it's that support that drives a person to continue in fervour for the Lord. So i thank them for every word, every prayer and every gift or talent that they have blessed me and the church with. :)

A week to go. packing's starting. let's go!
