Journeying

Travelled to Sheffield last Friday to visit Adrian and Angela over the weekend.

As the journey was 5.5hours for each way, I was able to have a glimpse of UK's landscape outside of Bristol. The bus travelled from Bristol to Worcestershire, Birmingham, Derby and Chesterfield before finally reaching Sheffield. The time on the coach for both trips was mainly spent on sleeping, reading, taking photos and more reading. Thank God for lightings on the coach so that I could read at night.

This was the first shot of the journey. Unfortunately, I forgot to check my settings and it was taken in black and white format - I wished it was otherwise but this photo really invoked much feelings in me. The sceneries seen along the way were really superb - I really enjoyed looking out of the window to see the vast open fields with cattle in them - such idyllic settings. I must confess that I couldn't keep staring out all the time because it became repetitive.

Anyway, I am extremely thankful for the time spent with Adrian and Angela. When I first saw them, it felt so unreal! After all the time spent in having bible study at KFC, Macs, BK(Toa Payoh's outlets) back in sunny island, we are now in UK! Who could have imagined this? I had a wonderful time of sharing and fellowship with them; not to mention the time spent eating, preparing food, talking, playing console games (the wii was hilarious)... so grateful of everything and was really blessed by their love. Thank you! It's my best weekend in UK so far and I even got to eat Sarawak laksa! I felt like I was in Kuching - well, minus the cold wind. They also brought me to Sherwood forest and it was a really pretty place!

During the church service on Sunday at Sheffield, there was a word of knowledge given about God's promise/faithfulness - something to do with rainbow but I am unable to remember it in detail. Yesterday, I saw a really beautiful rainbow while walking back from the library to my room.

I'm doing pretty okay over here right now. Slowly adjusting to the life of a law student once again. Reading the readings and reading the read. It probably sounds really nerdy but it really gives me a sense of familiarity- using Lexis Nexis and  ploughing through those huge textbooks (no lawnet so it's westlaw now), though the volume is much greater than before and is quite challenging.

I'll also like to share a song that has greatly blessed me:


Be thankful for everything.
