This place has been strangely stale lately. Extreme opposite to what my life's been. Hectic, crazy but fun nevertheless. These few weeks since I arrived in this strange new land have been a whirlwind experience. Settling in, making friends, having fun, exploring places, attending ridiculously boring uni lectures, trying to stay awake in seminars, dashing out tutorials, it's all been a part of this new chapter. the apprehension that once flooded has subsided, replaced with only feelings of contentment and peace. For HE walks in my life and I have no fears.

Life is increasingly filled with more and more joy, more and more friendships and deeper and deeper understanding of what life in the real world is all about. Walking with HIM has never been this amazing, with all that he's brought me through. It's been more than wonderful walking closer to HIM every day, loving HIM more and more, desiring and thirsting for HIS word, HIS presence.

I thank HIM for pampering me with an entire throng of angels to see me through this transition, both here and back home. I thank HIM for teaching me to love through HIM, love in HIM, grow closer in HIM. It's been a month since that day, that day that changed me in so many ways I never imagined it would. It's been a month since I first glimpsed that smile and heard that laugh, a month since that yardstick which measures all dances against the ones that day was created. A month since a chance meeting, maybe not quite chance, I'd call it a meeting that HE designed specifically for a purpose. A month since bliss has become a permanent resident in my life. I could ask for nothing more than the abundance HE has blessed me with...
