Cronulla, Sydney- I got a sign From God.

The week's been challenging. I started work at my hospital and though it has not been the best weeks since I got back( Obviously, with myself recovering the post moving away from Sydney syndrome), I thank God for the opportunities that I can lend a ear or a hand in helping the people I've seen. I do wonder if I were ever in their pair shoes, how optimistic could I stay especially for the many who thought they could get
of out well and be how they were before admission but some don't seem to live to must say it houses some of the most loving people you can ever find on Earth. Their patience to care and clean, to persuade and assure, to complement and carry messages..they get out of here. Before I start making hospitals sound like a dreadful dying place, I pretty much define the efficiency of my work pace.

The gang from ECU are not forgotten. Aaron, Seiko, Wing Kei, Cliff, Ange, Yin, Chris, Jason, Ellie, Robbo, Kat..hmm did i forget anyone?? Not forgetting the ECU staff workers and also my bible study group babes!!

I would suppose one of the most beautiful memories I had of Sydney was whale watching at the cliffs of the Royal National Park inTalkin about lovely people, how could I forget my mates in Australia:) Bundeena. I got to the place with How Ee first because Cai was late..she overslept. How and I had a good brekky and chattin, laughing at my bo liao jokes about random stuff while we waited for Cai to arrive and catch the ferry from Cronulla to Bundeena.

We had a short bushwalk to the coastal track and got onto the Asian thing with taking photos.. Suddenly, How screamed out that she saw whales. We got a little closer and standing near the edge of the cliff and YES there were WHALES!! how exciting can that get!!!

So we decided to sit there and have a short picnic. We sat at the cliff edge and waited and waited. We tried identifying water movements or lookin for patches in water so that we can have an opportunity to capture whale pictures. How Ee was all into that. Cai and I just sat down and stared..well cai fell asleep as usual ( her theory of if she doesn't do anything, she will fall asleep always happens.) As I sat there watching, everytime I saw a vauge impression of a whale coming out of the water I will shriek. A couple of times when we see a group of them swimming across us in a large group, we went hysterical. Then God spoke to me. He asked me," Viv, are u anticipating my visitation like how u are waiting for the whales to appear? Looking out for the signs? Ecstatic every moment? Lookin intently for me?? Searching for me?"

At that moment, I was stumped. Stumped for an answer for God- I wanted to say Yes but I know that in some moments of my life (when I visited Bundeena), I didn't. And I said God I'm sorry. Then more whales appeared- for a full 15 minutes we saw a group of them swam right in front of us. When u persevere in the waiting, U will be rewarded more than what u think u have put in. I did- for the whales and definitely more from God.

Are u waiting intently on God?
