I will lift up my eyes to the hills - From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:1-2)

My Lovely Babyyy
Sunday, October 06, 2013
Been quite some time since I last blogged, and so much has changed in my life. For the first time in 3 years,  I am now a normal student. No more meetings after school, no more additional commitments and truly I kind of felt free and felt the space where I could finally do something more personal. That said, well wishes from Colombia!

Quite a few things to write about, but firstly, I wanted to tell my babyyy that I really love her, and I really do appreciate all the things that she have done for me. <3 Tried to give her a surprise on our 2 year anniversary even within my midst of work. Glad that she was really pleasantly surprised! And of course she even made the effort to send me a postcard when arrived before I flew! Hahahaa. Not to mention that now we are so far away and we still chat with each other on Facebook everyday. I really love it when we set it to Skype once a week; absence really make the heart grows fonder and I would really look forward to see her every Sunday! This is definitely the work of God, only He can perform such miracles of love!

Almost a week into Colombia, can't really see that I'm sad but neither am I really happy. How do I put it, its just the feeling of uncertainty and lost. I genuinely did not expect the inertia to be so high, moving into a place which I have no established forms of communication. Certainly I had hoped that I could meet more people who can speak English, but it seems like Colombia is a predominantly Spanish speaking country with little knowledge of English. Now that I have moved into the apartment, my landlady is a nice woman who unfortunately can't speak a bit of English. On top of that, all the inability to communicate just builds up. All thanks to my lovely babyyy who saw a rare side of me today and she reassured me that she would be there for me! So will my Lord! Felt so touched and loved and I just want to write it down that I'm thankful!

And so of course life goes on here. Most of the time I'm holed up in my room but hopefully by God's grace I would gain some courage to head out on my own pretty soon! Tomorrow would be the starting day for my internship. Praying to my Lord that everything would go well. It is really in these times when we are lost and down that the magnificence of our Lord shines even more. Praise the Lord! :)

Amen.
