It's exactly a month that i've been in Perth already. Life so far has been good. I'm really enjoying my time living in college, getting to know a group of wonderful friends, had my fair share of fun and studying at the same time (:
There are many things to be thankful for. Looking back at the one month, i can see, feel and experience God's grace and amazingness, through the things that happen, through the people around me (and by that, i dnt only mean the people physically around me.. those back in singapore count too).. i think words can't express how i feel exactly.
By saying all these, it does not mean that my life here is all smooth, good and fine. There are a few bumps along the way too.. but that's how we grow and learn.
1 mth gone.. 3 more mths till home.
今年，我唯一个resolution是，要以感恩的心过每一天。
神的恩典真的够我们用。虽然有时候会觉得累，伤心，害怕，无奈，等等不开心的心情。但是，我想，只要我们能够定睛仰望，依靠着神，在我们的每一天里，都一定有一样事情是值得向神感恩的吧。
当我们能够以感恩的心过每一天时，回顾的时候，所看到的，都是神无限的恩典 (:
I like this song. It's another great reminder for me besides the song "使我做你和平之子"
《数算主恩歌》
有时遇见苦难 如同大波浪
有时忧愁丧胆 几乎要绝望
若把主的恩典 从头数一数
必能叫你惊讶 立时乐欢呼
有时挂念世事 如同挑重担
有时背着十架 觉得苦难堪
若数主的恩典疑惑即消除
必能叫你快乐 立时赞美主
每逢遭遇争战 不论大或小
不要丧胆 因主早已得胜了
深知主有恩典 必甘愿扶助
安慰引导我们 一直见天父
主的恩典样样都要数主的恩典都要记清楚主的恩典样样都要数必能叫你惊讶 立时乐欢呼so far, these are some of the things that im thankful to God for as i list them down each day..
