a reprieve....so grateful....

'Sometimes God allows us to hit the bottom in order to discover that He's the rock at the bottom.'

Just found out a few days ago that all students accepted into the Masters of Engineering course will get a CSP place. Sooooo relieved you have no idea. Over the past few months, been really struggling with a lot of things. Faith, trust, the future etc.....you know...corny things that a teenage guy shouldn't really care about =]P I dunno....felt so insecure about everything to be honest, to the point that I felt guilty about my uncertainty in God's promise; and yet I couldn't help those feelings. And that was scary. It's come to the point where I have really started to question what my faith is based upon. Is it really as fragile as I think it is?? I read once-'Only in a world where faith is difficult, can faith exist.' What does that mean?????? Argghhhh....


One of the major drawbacks I thought of coming to Melb Uni was that I wasn't guaranteed to become a accredited engineer, and that scared me. Even if I did get into the Masters course, I was thinking....getting a CSP place would be so ridiculously hard, and I seriously doubted my parents ability to pay $25,000+ a year on top of my sisters fees. Career advisors knew absolutely nothing about selection criteria, and that was seriously unsettling. This is my future we're talking about!!! Geezz....lift your game UOM i was thinking haha. And I dunno....this is just a massive weight lifted from my shoulders....and it just feels like....it's one part of the puzzle put into place?? haha...i dunno...but i'm so grateful to Him for it =]

that's great news, andy- happy for you! Rom 8:28 reinforcing itself again =) UOM needs to take care of their students-- everyone will be transferring to monash if they treat them so dodgey...
Ah, and you're at the age of deep thinking and reflection of true beliefs. Welcome, young adult.. dan lian keeps reminding us that this is the age where we do question all that stuff- its true, and its great =) when you understand what that quote means, tell me too =)
