Ocf

it has been considerably frequent, i reckon, that this blog is full of complaint lately. juz had a hard times that i find it tired to cry already. but dont worry, my God sustained me. He put lots of people to support, encourage and even to pray for me.
at this point, this entry is special for OCF and those people who have been such an influence to me. well i begin with a scanty story of my downfall in Hobart.seriously, it took me so long to recover from my downfall. i felt lonely and miserable. i questioned myself how could i allow myself not going to church for 3 weeks since my arrival in Hobart. erm, i should not make an excuse that i could not find one. it is so lame i reckon. anyways, my senior actually invited me to go church and i felt home when i was in church. since then, i found attachment with the church members and soon after that i joined OCF. it was in the day and by the seashore. the soothing sound of a guitar and gentle blow of the wind were juz perfect. but then the rain spoilt it..haha therefore, we had to escort ourselves back to the house. it was alright anyway-everyone had fun.
first semester, teng teng, i was not consistent in going to OCF. dont ask me why because i might give you tons of excuses
second semester, i started to go to OCF frequently, i mean every friday. unlike KDC cell, i have to walk myself up to the place where we always have a meeting.hehe it's not far anyway, it's just about 10 minutes walk from my house..i think this time is a time where God tests my faithfulness to Him. because nobody will message me every friday whether im going to OCF or not-not to say i have not received even one, there is but i can count. the people in OCF really have a heart to win Hobart, especially the uni students for Christ. many activities they engaged in to attract people to come to OCF to know Christ. i love the fact that they are warriors in prayers-they formed a prayer meeting every sunday morning and when it comes to exam, the exam timetables will be compiled and all will be praying for it.
i came to know them one by one and you know what i discovered, they are so loving. they even made a nickname for me 'fransisca totti'. haha i find it funny. Desmond said that when we play captain ball (like a net ball), he jokingly said that my legs were more active than my hands.i dont know how true it was.
i personally thank alice, shaun ewe, marcus and travis for being such a wonderful person. and the rest as well. i always run to them whenever i need someone to talk to. alice and shaun always give me a spiritual and material supports. marcus has always been a cheerful person. haha i tend to call him 'mr solution' because he likes to sing 'solution song'. travis is a playful person. travis and i cannot be together, he always find way to kacau me. huhhh but it's all jokes.haha. having said that i think i'll be missing him because he'll be staying in melbourne permanently. i wish him all the best in melbourne.
besides that, i just wanna to thank shaun once again for being so kind, warm and loving. i think through you, God has spoken a lot to me. i remembered when i called him in the middle of nite, i was the first time i could open up and share with people. i can offer nothing but thank you. may God bless you always my dear brother.
not to forget uncle frank. i was just sitting next to him last night. he asked me about my exam. he encouraged me in such a way that i bring me to the very foundation of my faith. he said 'God sees the beginning and the end but we only see a piece of that journey. therefore, trust Him to take you through this exam'. above all, i thank God that He has placed all these wonderful people in my life. now i know that i am not alone in this foreign country. i have them to walk this journey. i pray that God bless them abudantly.
keep on going OCF, win UTAS for Christ
