It has been ages since I actually blogged. Life has caught on with me and I guess I found better things to do than blog. This week is Easter break. However, I didn't really make full use of it. Should have gone on a short trip or at least go out more often. I seem to be stuck at home most of the time, surprisingly. I thought I would be doing my assignment but that seems not to be the case. I don't even know what I do at home.
I do realise I'm online everyday but I don't know why there isn't a need to blog. Maybe I've grown out of the blogging phase. Anyway, I treasure the times I spend with people around me. My church members, my friends and pre-friends. You never know who you will meet. Like today I went for a potbless at church and I got to meet my senior pastor. He's such a nice person and he was genuinely interested to get to know us personally. He's also very down-to-earth. I like his approachable demeanor.
I'm planning to serve more in church. I feel that coming to Australia, I have an opportunity to grow spiritually. In so many ways, I'm constantly surrounded by Christians. I have alot of time in my hands in which I can use to serve the Lord. It is a good time to start. I'm planning to do so this Sunday with the Ministry of Helps. I believe that when you put God first in your life, all things will be added unto you.
Of course I will not neglect my studies in the meantime. I will work harder in my studies too, because I haven't been putting in my 100%. Coming here, my main purpose is to study. To experience the Aussie life too, I know but the main objective is studying. I think I would be very disappointed if I don't achieve reasonably well here. Alot of money has been invested into coming here and I think my parents would be upset too if I didn't do well.
I feel that coming here is also an opportunity for me to mature. I'm left all alone by myself. I think people will mature when they are independent. I hope by the end of this stay I will become an independent person. I want to be able to stand on my own two feet. To be able to earn my own living soon and to say that I can live in this world without depending on anyone. That would be an achievement for me.
