the journey: Life so far,

I have been here for a month already and have gone through staff training (which is just learning more about the standards of Aussie education and so forth) and am now going into the third week of the Bible Core Course (BCC) – what a month! Everything is going so good, it was a very hard transition if I am being honest, I just loved home too much I think :) It was very overwhelming getting ready to staff the school (BCC) definitely didn't feel good enough to be doing what God was calling me to do. But one day I was talking about this with my roommate and realized that I am walking into exactly what God has called me too, so of course I would face some opposition! That really helped me see things a bit more clear and remind me that God really does know what he is doing and that everything is going to be okay.

I already really feel God showing up in a big way, my relationship with him is getting deeper and my heart for Australia (living here) is growing. God made it clear to me that I am only going to stay in Australia for two schools which means coming home for good in August 2012. Yes, that is a long time but like I said before when I see the big picture and everything that I am going to take away from here it brings me a lot of peace.

The School is going so good, we have gone through Acts, Philemon, and Titus! We are getting ready to learn about small group bible study and then 1 Peter (which I am teaching!) It is all pretty exciting!

I’m loving that I get to spend the next 5 months studying the bible – who gets to do that? BAH so fun!
