New changes... and given thanks unto Him

With the whole move up to Sydney, the new environment of the workplace, the new housemate, the new adaptation to the weather, the various people in Uni I'm meeting everyday, the getting used to transport, the getting used to driving around and finding places, the new changes to being more independent and cooking more, dealing with the higher expenses here in Syd, and having to save up a lot for rent and uni, trying to find a church which I believe I've found, etc... I just thought, it's been about 2.5 months since I've been away from my support network, the dependence I had on TY, my friends and loved ones... and now, even though all the hard stuff has passed, there is still a bit of settling to do like getting used to uni life again. I just feel thankful and blessed that God has seen me through this really hectic and rushed 2.5 months. It wasn't an easy move at all and know how God works in the strangest ways of all? First, it was Speech Pathology at USyd and I didn't get in because of a failed result, but then I got into the Clinical Audiology course at Macq Uni by a long and tough appeal and via a late enrollment. Second, somehow, I've been meeting Christian friends in uni... and I'm thinking God must have either planted me or planted them in the same course and at the same uni for us to encourage/edify/minister to one another. He is truly awesome and great in doing that. Third, He knows I'm struggling with my work and I believe He's placed certain people in the field to give me some significant head-knowledge help and direction. And lastly, today in my class, I never expected to be studying about animals, and He who knows all... knows I just adore animals and wanted to be a vet when I was young but couldn't because of the emotional attachment at that time... and today, we studied on quite a few animals. In fact, it's a huge key component if you go on to do research in the audiology field. And I was just thinking... I could specialise in animal audiology which would be amazing. For now, I have to get this report that is due on Tues out of the way and I'm not too sure how I'm gonna do it with the tight schedule I have this week leading up to that due date. But I am sure, God's led me this far, He'll not give up on me and continue to see me through like He always does. And likewise, I shouldn't give up on Him either. Did some quiet time this week and I truly feel refreshed. I have felt a little empty recently with the whole move and lots of dilemmas, like feeling lost and confused about stuff... but this week, I feel strengthened and renewed... and yeah, felt like a new day comes with new challenges, with new trials, new experiences. Hence, the newlook blog too... So yeah, I guess this is Vicky being more centred with Christ and relying more on Him and trying not to look too far back. I'm gonna embrace change and newness. Remember 2 Cor 5:17? If not, feel free to look it up. It truly relates.
