There But For The Grace Of God, Go I

Kensington Park, London.

November, November.

what a month it was! :)

Lovely in every way and to end it with a visit to Hertfordshire and London was just amazing in every sense. This month has definitely been alot easier than the previous month. I can finally say I feel settled and have even found comfort in my little room in Aberconway. 

I am continually amaze by the company I have found here in Cardiff. It is encouraging and it reminds me that even when I feel alone, He shows me He is there through the people He place in my life. Looking back at my previous posts, I realised I have been writing alot about God lately. I guess I could say I have other interesting experiences that I could write about but really nothing seems to amaze me more than His grace for me everyday. 

It's because I know without Him I know I could never sit here in my chair and smile thinking about the days that has passed me by with contentment and a heart filled with joy. Sometimes I do feel so down and broken or downright lost, but time and time again no one else comes to pick me up the way He does.

It is so true,

There But For The Grace Of God, Go I 

:)

note : I will write about my trip to Bristol and Hertfordshire & London soon. London was amazing! Maybe it wasn't the place but the 3 people I went with. :D

Goodbye, November!

Saturday's Colours

Bridgend Designer Outlet

My umbrella broke today :( 

The weather (or rather the wind) really got me this time!

Despite the rain pouring on my head, 

my moods were too high up to get affected.

ah, how I love my Saturday outings and 

I look forward to them every week.

It's so nice to just get out from the normal routine and 

just relax and have fun with friends. 

To forget for just for a little while all the assignments 

and readings and chores waiting for me back in Cardiff.

And to also celebrate all the work done in one

short busy week.

It's a good day to just take a deep breath 

from all that is happening and say 

'God, I appreciate the fact that you have 

gave me a life to enjoy.'

Cardiff Bay

Last Friday, my friends and I decided to head down to Cardiff Bay for a look and I had a really good time. We had buffet lunch at Cosmo to satisfy our chinese cravings and then walked around for the whole day till it started to drizzle. 

It was definitely one of my better days in Cardiff. :)

Hello from Cardiff

Hello, hello :)

I know that this is such a delayed post since I have already arrived here for almost 2 weeks! Classes has in fact already started and I have even handed in my first assignment. Oh yeah, the picture above is actually the main building of Cardiff University. I find it very beautiful. Sadly, the Cardiff Law Building isn't half as nice. heh.

So, how am I finding Cardiff so far?

If i were to answer great, I would be lying. Having said that, Cardiff is a really nice city and I am having the time of my life here. I guess it is just that anywhere far from home just wouldn't be as great. It's because I miss home, I miss my family & friends, my Xabi, my room and also FOOD. One of the things that I had to swiftly learn here is to cook! I have more pictures of food in my camera rather than sceneries. haha. 

Other than being home sick and food sick, everything else is fine and pleasant. Im still getting used to classes, my accommodation and how things work here and I'm very glad to say that I think everything is going on better than I thought it would be. I don't find Cardiff to be so great now but I know I will grow to like this place more and more each day because everyday I am making new memories, learning new things and experiencing life like I will never ever do in another time of my life. One thing that I'm sure is that God is here with me and that He is good.

 Because He is the only one that gets me through each day with a smile!

Your Purpose ; My Priority

taken @ LCCT 28/7

The time has come, at last.

After three, almost four long months of waiting. 

There has been alot that has been running through my mind.

Questions which would never have crossed my mind 

in the past seems to be in need of answers now. 

I believe leaving one's home is not just only an experience, 

it is also a conscious realisation of who you really are, 

what you do and what you have around you. 

You realise . . .

... who are the people who really care about you.

(and this may come as a surprise)

... how lovely and comfortable your home is.

... that you are not so much of an adult as you thought you were

... that you have a great deal to learn.

... that you have been blessed with so much.

... that He is always there.

Jeremiah 29 : 11

For I know the plans I have for you,

plans to prosper you and not to harm you

plans to give you hope and a future.

Tomorrow a new chapter begins! :)

(and He'll be with me all the way)

Goodbye family & friends.

Goodbye my beloved home.

Take care & don't forget me!
