Anywhere and Everywhere, God works!

By Calvin

Hi all! How have all of you been?

Over in Australia, it is turning autumn so it is pretty cold whereby the temperature is about 17 degrees in the morning. I just want to write this short testimony to testify that God is greatly performing wonders even over here in Australia!

When I first came here to Perth, my accommodation had been screwed up. They gave me a room that was like situated on the ground floor, facing the common corridor. I couldn't even open my curtains up and allow the sunlight to enter the room cause if I do so, people will be able to see the whole of my room in a glance. Therefore, my room was dark and stuffy and I was very depressed about the whole situation. Thoughts such as "why am I so unlucky to get this kind of room?" bombarded me throughout.

I became depressed and began to think of ways and means to get out of that room. I went to speak to the principal and he told me that he will see if it is possible for him to change the room for me. I was very grateful but in my heart, I was still very worried about whether my room will be changed in the end. I went online and I spoke to my parents and also some of my friends about what I was going through. But apparently, the management told me that it was very difficult for them to change the room immediately. I was told that I would have to wait to see if there is anybody who is willing to change their room with me. On hearing this, I could really feel my whole heart sink to the ground. I prayed and cried out to God with anxiety, and all I found myself crying out was "God Help Me, Please".

Later in the day, while I was online chatting with my parents, my mum told me that that day in church, the whole sermon was about patience and not to be anxious about anything. She told me that God was telling me that He will make a way for me and that He had the best plans for me. Hearing this, I felt much better. But, the peace did not last really long; the worries began to overcome me again.

Then something happened. One day while at lunch, there was this residential advisor who was sitting at my table and was chatting away with us. He told one of the girls that there was somebody who was opting to shift out of the Hall. Immediately, upon hearing this, I went to find the room and saw that that room was much better than mine. I went and told my parents about it and they told me to check it out with the principle who is handling my case. I went to search for the principal who was handling my case but in vain. I had to head down for my orientation. So my parents told me that they will tell the principal if they saw him.

Then something coincidence happened. My dad was coming out of the toilet in my Hall and he was telling my mum that if he sees the principal, he will speak to him, but if not, then I will speak to the principal myself instead. As he was talking about this, the principal was just walking behind him. My dad had a brief chat with him. When my dad told him about the room, he was shocked because he didn't know about the girl moving out of the Hall. He told my dad that he will check it out and get back to us asap.

I was very delighted and waited anxiously for the news. But the news came back differently. I was told that there was another room available and if I would like to have it. I immediately took the key and ran up to check out the room. The room was super cool. The room was very bright and I could open my curtains without fearing anyone will be able to look inside my room.

I was extremely delighted and immediately took the room. I shifted my things into my new room. Really want to praise the Lord. Indeed, He will make a way where there seems to be no way, He works in ways we cannot see and He has made a way for me!
