My UCLA Experience

 

A lot has happened in this summer. Really, a lot happened. It was like a roller coaster ride. Two things in particular I want to talk about, housing and transportation. Since I am an emgineer, let me list out all the things that happened. Each item happens a day or two before the next item.

Housing Issue:

1. Called UCLA Housing and found out that none is offered to me

2. Found a potential housemate online

3. Contacted a friend of mine and find a potential christian housemate

4. Friend's friend backed out; potential housemate lost

5. Lots of prayer; found a room nearby

6. Room was not secured; find a family friend as back-up plan

7. UCLA Housing called and made an offer (Turns out a professor leaves UCLA and brought his research students over to the new university, leaving extra space in the graduate dorm )

One thing lead to another, eventually I am back where I orginally planned to be. Through this experience, I can see how God is taking care of what I need. Oh yeah, my parents are stressed and constantly nagging me about finding housing around school. Afterall, I just need to be patient and see how God works His wonders.

 

Transportation Issue:

1. Car needs a transmission replacement

2. Fixed car and double checked that the car functions correctly

3. Car was crashed while parked (no one was in it)

4. Plan to take dad's car to school

5. Dad needs his car back

6. Dad sends me down to UCLA and his car was crashed too

This was a surprise for me as I'd never thought that I would go to college without a car. I brought a car in as I was a undergraduate, and there was never a time where I don't have a car to use. Now in graudate school, I am living in a dorm system without a car. Everything happened as if I cannot have a car here. I don't know why, but I am sure there is a lesson for me to learn.

Before the car wreck, I thought my car was getting old and that I need to replace it soon. It wasn't until the accident happened that I realize how much God has given me. Currently, I am learning to walk to school and shop at a supermarket nearby. Noah and Simon helped me quite a bit in church hopping. Noah even lend me a bed for now! So until all my lessons are learned, I will live without a car. It will be an interesting experience, and I can't wait to see what happens next!

hey justin, sorry to hear about the mishaps in la, but it's cool how God teaches you through the lessons. this reminds me of moses and the burning bush...how God has to show you through actual events. how are you adjust to ucla? i hope you enjoy it there. have you found a fellowship/church @ ucla. there's ica @ ucla. you should check it out. i hear awesome things about the fellowship. i can connect you with someone from the ministry if you don't have their contact info or don't know anyone.
