Bittersweet symphony...

Yep it's been a while and I actually have no excuse but laziness...

Life continues to be an interesting journey. Last night I returned from Victoria, possibly for the last time before I leave Australia in about 9 weeks time. Bec and I had a great time together just hanging out for the week and having fun, despite the pretty emotional farewell. It was lovely to get away but as usual, it was not nearly long enough for my brain to switch off...

I think saying goodbye to a close friend and flying back hit just a little too close to home and drew several tears on the plane - if this is how I am right now, how am I guna cope with my impending graduation from college in a little over 50 days?! It hurts already. I don't want to go back to England but I know that's where I'm meant to go, if only for Christmas and a few months following. I dislike uncertainty and I struggle a lot at times to just sit back and enjoy the ride...

As for next year some of my thoughts have included possibly moving to the north of England to go and hang out at Paul Scanlon's church or possibly one of the Hope City churches. The entrepreneur in me is gagging to go out and make some money; I'm all for trusting God to provide but the humanity in me is tired of feeling like I have
'nothing'. It's such a stupid thought process as I know it's not true but I think the restriction of not being able to take people out and bless them is bugging me hugely! I had to buy shoes before I left Victoria as I didn't have a decent pair of black shoes and so came home absolutely penny-less with nothing but porridge and chocolate to eat until I can work some more... it's situations like this I just need a break from!

On an entirely different and much more positive note however, a massive congratulations must go out to Bec on her new job at Careforce. It's such a great answer to prayer and what would appear to be perfect God timing... so SO proud of you Bec, I hope it's a situation that bares much fruit for both you and the church!
