the second half of the day~
sorted out my student visa, forgot that i had an appointment with Vincent (my MTS CBS co-ordinator)... but it's okay, resched to next week haha...
been quite busy lately, organising centrelink stuff, flights, visa, etc... quite overwhelming. now i understand why nana was stressed post myc and prior to her departure.. she had it worse getting sick as well...
hope you are doing fine in China !
after the city today.. i went to uni and had a good chat with two of my trustworthy brothers.. very good chat, very liberating. God was i wrong to think i can redeem myself by my own power.. thank you God for giving me awesome friends/brothers. also on the way to uni, as i was reading [DoaGM], it taught me of the importance of friendships and what it meant for us to be relational beings. when God said "it is not good for the man to be alone" [Gen 2:18] about Adam and later created Eve to be his 'helper', and later in the OT when the relationship between Jonathan and David was described as brotherly, us as relational beings was always intended by God from the beginning and still relevant today.
on another topic, father is also now back from indo.. good to have him around the house.. mother can relax a bit more and so can we all. i can tell he's worried about my departure because he was surprised i was leaving so soon and he checked a few things off for me (visa, accomm, etc.)
overall a glorious day. im still quite stressed atm.. but my heart is at peace. †
