“Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see” (Hebrews 11:1, NLT)
Faith: To know that where you are right now is where you are meant to be.
Faith: In trusting that everything that has happened, the good and the bad, happened for a reason.
Faith: In allowing circumstances to happen and choosing not to be overwhelmed.
Faith: To believe in something you never saw.
Faith: To trust that you are a part of His perfect plan.
Faith: To deliberately choose each day to be grateful, for this life.
Faith: To walk day by day, asking God for His granted strength and peace.
Faith, got some?

#590 Dear friends,
It has probably been way too long. Time to dust off my old blog eh. Well. Anyways, hello everyone. I just had my presentation today. My second one so far here in Swinburne. But what made me want to blog right now is this. Well, I was browsing around. I found this group of seniors I knew who are in the same UNI now. Yeap you got it right, UNI. And this uni was overseas. Man, how did their friendships last so long? From toddlers, primary school, high school, college and now university.
I know feeling jealous is probably not cool, but I can't help myself. How far can the friends I have now last? I have never had a friend longer than urh, say 10 years? 5 years may be true also. In this case I am referring to friends that will meet up with you, talk to you, pour their hearts out to you, update you and basically depend on each other for every good and bad times...
But remember. I said it would not be cool to be jealous. This is evident because I already have a best Friend. I just never acknowledge it. But we are really tight. If you must know. Here. This is my best Friend. The coolest one I've had so far.
Today's devo: Hebrews 6:13-15 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Days like these,
I hate reading my sister's tweet and actually listening to her speak it like she was next to me.
Watching the world go by from here feels like i've been sidelined. Not a very nice feeling I tell you. Everyone back home are hanging out, finding a new girlfriend/boyf, running for president, and basically just living life... without me. I have never missed home this much either. Every night is a trip back home- I feel like they are actually really there and every morning it's the same thing. I wake up, in a hostel. In a place I can never call home. I don't like feeling this way and I know I cannot live this miserably. But however, I can never stop myself from daydreaming about home. Especially when I know I am heading home in a month's time. Sadly, I also realized that everything will be different back home (I realized this a long time ago). Everyone will be caught up in life. This I am always grateful for family. I can never describe how much I miss every single one of them.
Leaving was sort of a mixed-feelings-kinda decision. Well you see, ever since Kor left nothing was the same. After months of crying and getting over the fact. Everyone lived in routine. But we know nothing will be the same. Leftovers everyday, food untouched, always taking out... it was not a very pleasant change. But things got better I guess. It was just very different for me.. I could feel the emptiness and sadness. This adds to me losing a best dude buddy. #SIGHS. Leaving therefore was sort of like my way out, or a change. I really hope they are all doing fine back home.
I miss my life back home & I wonder if I would be enjoying myself if I lived that life.
But, thanks to God who has never left me. I believe I have been sent here for a reason. God knows why- LITERALLY. I will never regret meeting the people, places I've been too, things I've seen here. Its just that this semester, being separated from everyone, new faces, nothing normal you see. Kind of my low point right now.

#589 Sinning
I've never really know how to describe sin, (Tattoos/smoking weed/getting drunk etc) until I read Jarrid Wilson on "Smoking Pot and Praising God":
Don’t get me wrong, smoking pot is no greater of a sin than lying, cheating, stealing, or lusting – things we are all guilty of. The big problem wasn’t just the activity of smoking, but that even after reading The Bible they made a conscious decision to follow through with it.
Other good reads, click here (Tattoos Taboo) & here (Real Men).
