Awesome!!! That’s all I can say.
Many things have been happening lately… & God made it a perfect day today!!!
Situation #1
Jia Ren (JR), Andrew (AW), James (JC), & I intended to move out of IH next year. House hunting hasn’t been easy for us; especially 4 bedroom houses are so limited at Carlton Gardens or Parkville. So, since the search began, we haven’t had many choices, and after the first visit to a Victorian design house (which means it’s a super old house), we decided to pray that God will provide a place and we will be able to settle this by 24th Oct (which was a fortnight from then).
During that period, JC & JR were thinking of staying back in IH, and the thought of not being able to stay together, or finding a suitable house for 4 of us, just made things a lil’ difficult. Cut the long story short, in the end they decided to move out together, but we still haven’t located any suitable units. A consideration of getting a two 2 bedroom apartments came into our mind, but we continue to press on for a place that fits all of us, and praise God, on Oct 24th, we found a place & applied & got it!!!
Situation #2
Recently, been so consumed by the amount of work I have. So many studies need to be done. So tired every time after hospital, and with lil’ time left, it just doesn’t help me. Began to feel medicine is like a chore, and the passion slowly fading.
Over the weekend during DNA encounter (a course in church I’ve been attending), as I was worshipping God, I just felt a rising sensation from my body, slowly up my head, and accumulated inside my head for a while before it lifted out of my body. Just felt so light & elevated since this semester started. Tears started to pour as I felt God’s joy & peace filled me. Jesus said in Mat11: 28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Situation #3
Staying in IH means I gotta move out of this place by Nov 24th, the date where Melb Uni students finished their exams & summer term starts. Unfortunately, being in clinical years, I have fewer holidays, and my rotation only ends on the Nov 23rd, followed by 2 days exams that end on Nov 30th.
For days I’ve been looking for places to stay, as to which friend’s place is available to host me, or should I pay IH (AUD450) to stay on further until my exam date. But today, when I went to the office to discuss with the accountant regarding the rents, by God’s grace, the charges that I’ve to pay was only AUD127 after additional days that the college compensated for me. Yes! So now, I’m staying in til Nov 30th!!!
Situation#4
Being the homesick me (esp since it’s exam season now), I decided to make a phone call to MAS to change my flight from Dec 4th to 2nd. But to my surprise, my ticket was accidentally booked on a different class without me realizing it. If I go to the airport on the 4th, I would not be able to fly and I can’t imagine how crazy I will be if that happens at the ticket counter in Melbourne airport. So, because if this issue, I am forced to leave on Dec 6th due to the overbooked flight seats for my ticket class.
But when I was in hospital today, my friend came over & told me that he changed his ticket to Dec 1st and paid only AUD100++. With great anticipation, and a sense of hope I immediately rush home and get my air ticket & head straight to MAS office in the city and see if there’s any seats available for me. Thank God, there’s still one left & I have to pay AUD106 to change my flight (If I were to stay in Melbourne for another 5 days, I would spend more than AUD106). Without much hesitation, I paid & left the office with a ticket home on the 1st. YEAH!!!
Psa94: 18 When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O LORD, supported me. 19 When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul. (NIV)

Psa94:18-19The minute I said, "I'm slipping, I'm falling," your love, God, took hold and held me fast. When I was upset and beside myself, you calmed me down and cheered me up. (MSG)
Psa94: 18 I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. 19 When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. (NLT)
Really wanna honour God for what He has done in my life lately. In less than 3 weeks, so many things have been happening. Everything seems to fall into the right place, and God’s favour is constantly magnified in every area of my life. Just affirmed me that God is so real in my life, and always interested to bless us. His hands are never too short to bless us, His ears never too dull to listen to our prayers. Just made me wanna trust Him more and more, and want Him to be included in every aspect of my life! Indeed, what He said is true. Psa84:12Blessed is the man who trust in You.
