Sunrise?


Such a beautiful picture.... was it sunset or sunrise? Was it the beginning of a new day or was it the end?

My mind is clouded with uncertainty. What is going to happen when I go home? What about my life over here in Australia? Is it the end?

Its funny when I think back the times when I first came to Australia. I was so reluctant to come. I was so lonely and afraid. I called home often.... ok, I called my Malaysian friends much more often. :P

But slowly I begin to adapt to the life here.... had more friends... got my car... which gave me more freedom... Now I'm feeling sad to leave Australia!

I've learnt many things here in Australia. Its a place where I really grew up.... in Christ and in maturity... Its where I truly learnt about responsibility, friendship and myself. I made some close friends here that had truly made an impact in my life. Without them, I would never have survived this long and would not have enjoyed my stay here in Australia. Mere words cannot express my gratitude towards them.

Although I'll be leaving Australia this Sunday and may not come back in the near future... I'm believing that God will make our paths cross again... We shall meet again and remember the times we had together. And you shall see...

...that you have a part in me.

G'Day Mate... Jared here, Andrew's bro.
U sound almost like i did when i was about to leave Adelaide... In fact, i made a statement which goes like, "I've learned more things in these 2years in OzLand that i've learned in my 20years of life back home"...
Why such a big contrast?! Like u've highlighted, life was never the same again when u r left to LIVE ur own life in a foreign land without loved ones... then u choose to Exist, Survive or truly Live a life there.
I hafta admit i swayed between existing & surviving modes before but i consciously asked God to help me LIVE a life worthy of Him! I'm sure He would most gladly do that for u too... ;)
Enjoy the packing & see u back some time soon. God bless! :D

Sunrise or sunset? It is you who will make the decision. Life is what you make out of it, not the other way round.
