Becoming an Aussie...

Hey yall! I'm finally feeling at home here (which isn't hard because I guess I've felt at home since day one in a certain way). The first week of lectures was so good (called Hearing God's Voice and Intercession) and so packed with truth applied in a really practical way. I took a ton from it, and it's stuff I will use a lot I think.
The weekend was great. Saturday we went surfing! Well, more like tried to surf.. it was so much fun. I didn't get up on the board, but rode the wave on my knees a couple times... haha! This one company does it every Saturday, so I am determined to surf being here! haha.. it's definitely a goal. Saturday after surfing, we had a big fish and chips picnic. Then we were at the beach all day, which, if you know me at all, is so my element. It was the most beautiful day! I loved it.
Sunday, we went to a church called Lighthouse Church, which is just a five minute walk. I really liked it but think I'm going to look at others. Then Sunday I worked on my Journal for DTS all day. We have these journals that really help us reflect on what we learned throughout the week and how it really applies to our lives in a measurable way, and they are SUPER creative, like scrapbookish, which is cool. We spent SO much time on them this weekend though. I really like it through because it helps me to exercise creativity in such a cool way to glorify God.
Anyway, this week has been so good already. The speaker is so great and, he is talking about intimacy with God. It has been HUGE and I'm overwhelmed with what God is revealing to me about Himself, but I know He will give me just enough grace and maybe even more to understand it.
So, I'm blogging more later (this is more my random thoughts, not a coherent summary like the last one). I have to go now because we just made dinner, and it needs to be served!
Thank you again for your prayers... I'm thinking about all of you... love you and miss you!
