But the internet connection at my new place has not been put in place yet. So I would not be able to update my blog and check emails often these coming weeks. Nevertheless, I will still try my best to share with you what I have learnt during this period. :)
On Fri, I was not feeling well. A fever was coming and I quickly popped Panadol Cold, and prayed that I won’t fall sick. Thank God that I feel much better after some rest! On Sat, I managed to arrange for Keith (Wei Shan’s brother) to come and help me drive my stuff to my new place at Waterloo. I have 8 bags of stuff! Didn’t realize that I have bought so many things within the 2 weeks here! Luckily Keith has a car. Thank God for His amazing provision! :)
But when I found that the internet connection was not ready, I was sooooo disappointed. I tried to find alternative solutions desperately but to no avail. I felt very upset because it made me feel so disconnected from my familiar community – you all. I fretted. I threw tantrum and made my loved one feel upset. And then I regretted that I over-reacted.
So today, during Service, God spoke to me. I am His child. I have the Holy Spirit in my heart. Why didn’t I have the peace and calmness in my heart that should flow from His presence in my life? Why should I fret and worry over frivolous things? Why can’t I confront difficulties bravely and in a mature manner? I am reminded that God holds my tomorrow and I should trust and feel safe in His hands. Thank you, Lord, for comforting and reminding me. I will be brave and will learn to take things easy.
I didn’t regret the move coz I like my new room. I bought new furniture and I did up a DIY wardrobe all by myself – 24 wooden planks and 48 nails in total. I am so proud of myself. I feel like I am having my own little space. And now that I have my kitchen, I cooked porridge for myself for the past 2 nights. Yum Yum. :)
And it’s even more amazing to find that I am actually “connected” to my housemates in one way or another:
Chermain – she is my junior at RGS and RJ, doing exactly the same subject (S02) and she knows Gordon (my brother).
Wei Lynn – she is Jun Lin (Gordon’s girlfriend)’s primary school classmate
Laura – she is my junior at RJ, and she knew my colleague at MOF.
We have nice chats in the kitchen and I feel much more at home in my new place. I can’t help giving thanks to the Lord for the amazing grace He has prepared for me, without me knowing it. Although I am the oldest in the flat, I don’t really feel that “old” la coz hahaha.. we can still talk about “girlie” stuff. Anyway, I am happy and once again, I think everything is BEAUTIFUL in His time. Praise the Lord!
