Today would be the most laziness day but also finding peaceful, especially at the evening. I tried to have a longer quiet time on devotion, praying, and reading bibles, so I spent like 4 hrs tried to get myself back into one piece after all negative thoughts, bad feelings, and pressures. Oh, I have also done my first laundry in Australia (mood +2). When I was doing Proverbs 22 today, I found verse 6 “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” is very inspiriting. It feels like God is telling me to listen carefully and follow his word with a heart of child. So that I can walk in his way without yielding left or right even time pass by. The reason of a heart of child is because child usually takes things as a YES, so they would assume whoever teach him/her would be the right things, and the teaching will become his/her own theories.
Since normal lunch hour has already passed, I got to get something to fill my physical emptiness. I can’t find a reason, but I eventually went to Coles (One of the biggest supermarket in Australia, and also the closest one to my apartment) and I bought sliced cheese, lettuce, red onion, multigrain bread, five flavor of tuna, and a new box of cereal (the best food for cure hunger, especially at night) Then my first self-made sandwich is born but also gone on the same day.
Times go by really fast, six-something is already coming, and I went to Sunday Night service with my temporary flat mate Moses (from Korean). The music of the worship is really really crazy, I just feel like I am listening to a concert. hahahaa..But really, it really takes time to get used to all English song, especially fast tempo song is kinda hard to follow. I think the most memorable and impacted lyrics would be “I want to know you, That your spirit overwhelm me, That your presence overtake my heart.”, cause they repeated lot of times (lol.. no, just kidding)
I guess the most amazing things would be the new student dinner time after the service. When I arrived to the flat, I was very worrying and thinking about am I gonna have a bad night again, since when I got into the house, I only saw few new students who I think or feel like they don’t want to have conversation with me (typical rough looking from the State). Then Kevin, who is from Canada Quebec, arrived and saved me from speechless. More and more people arrived about the same time. I tried not to be too passive, like standing at a corner and wait for people to come, instead I tried to look for someone I met before but forgot the name, and have simple conversation. I forgot the reason, but it is very surprising that Kevin share with me that he had a feeling that people won’t come to him and talk because English isn’t his first language. And more surprising that he said my English is good. And then I met couples German guys, named John, Michael, Jim(not sure), and we had pretty good conversation, and exchange phone numbers. The most impressive is the last German guy I met, for he is a big fan of chinese. He learned Chinese via iPhone apps, and he likes to watch Chinese Movie (葉問, Bruce Lee). It feels very friendly. This dinner time really save me from the down. I can really see God grace is enough for me. And I learned that if someone seems to dislike me, I shouldn’t too care about him/he, and find someone else to talk; otherwise I will making myself so down and upset.
Audition would be the next thing I should be preparing tomorrow, and the next two days. I hope I can really get it done soon without too much pressure. Night All
