On the 19th of January 2010, she ventured into an unknown territory, a place called Perth. It was foreign to her as it was a place she’s never been to before. It was her first time being away from her family, her home and her friends ... she was alone. During her first few days in Perth, her mind was flooded with questions and self-doubt. Why did she choose to come to a place where English is the first language when she was doubtful of her own command of the language? If she is unable to communicate with the people here, wouldn’t that affect her chances of getting good results for her studies as well? And if that was the case, then what’s the point?


Well, friends, if you haven’t already realized, our dear heavenly Father is always making the first move towards us in every situation. Whenever we’re in need, He’s always there to provide love, comfort, support and timely help. Everything He does has its own purpose.

Before long, the freshie stopped worrying and started placing her trust in God. His plans are always purposeful and well timed, and she is sure of this, as she is living proof.

107, French Street is the house she is currently staying in. This house is a BIG present that she has been blessed with. Initially, it felt more like a torment than a blessing for her to live in this place. There were many problems with the house when she first moved in, and almost everything in this house just didn’t seem to work the way it should. She complained and complained constantly and hoped the people in-charge of housing for her college would shift her to a better house.

That was until the 22nd of March 2010, when the hailstorm occurred in Perth. Only then did she and her housemates realize that God was protecting them and had blessed them with the best house in that area. The house of 107 was the only house that was not flooded or damaged during the hailstorm. It was actually the SAFEST house in the WHOLE AREA! The hailstorm had shifted her perspective and led her to truly appreciate this house for what it is. She could think of no other reason why hers was the only house unaffected besides it being God’s work and His present to her and her housemates!


Regardless of what time and season we are in, our heavenly Father is constantly guiding us, never once losing sight of us. He has your future and every little detail concerning you all mapped out, yet the details are never forthcoming. Only at the right time will the details be revealed, and all we can do in the meantime is to prepare ourselves to receive His GREAT plan.


So friends, be patient and wait in anticipation of the great things that are in store for you! THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
