Wow...don't think I have blogged since I moved house which was like..2 weeks ago? It has been a crazy couple of weeks trying to move and study at the same time and i've had all my exams in the past week which raised my stress levels just a bit =)
So anyway...in the next few days I will do a post which gives you a virtual tour of my house..mainly for Melbourne people coz all you Sydney people can just come visit anytime you like =) We are still in the process of unpacking so there are still boxes scattered around and a couple of the rooms are currently being used for storage at the moment but that will change in the next few weeks once we've found a place for everything. No..my house is not a mansion (it's no where near one) as you will soon see but to me this house is so much more than I need. I have never lived in a new house before and we have always gotten by with just second hand furniture where nothing really matches but you know...I still called it home. And now...everything is new. It looks new, it smells new, it feels new. It's strange because it's not something I am used to. To be honest...there have been times in the past couple of weeks where I have felt like a spoilt brat and I seriously hope i never go down that path. I am so thankful that God has blessed our family in so many ways. My dad is just a pastor...and you know your dad is a pastor when you have spent the whole morning unpacking boxes and boxes of bibles (of all versions u can think of), multiple bible commentaries of nearly every book of the bible, theological dictionaries, multiple books on church history and pretty much every book you can find in koorong!... my mum just does a whole lot of odd jobs but my parents have never worried about finances. They worked hard and had faith that God will provide. It's one of the many lessons I have learnt through them that will stick with me for life. It's hard to build a house and buy furniture without being materialistic. It's hard to not automatically go for the pricey stuff that looks reeeallyy nice even though you know it's not necessary.
Anyways...photos will be coming up soon =) Can't believe I'll be going away in 3 weeks arghhh! but there's so much to do before then. Should be fun though.Anyway..i think i need sleep. It's going to be one longg day tomorrow =)
