Well once again it’s been a long while since my last post. So
much has happened since my last post, I completed my first semester of Hillsong
college, I was blessed to be a part of Hillsong conference 2014 – which can I just say was mind-blowing! Mmm what else, I celebrated my one year anniversary with Tim and I
cooked my first lasagna away on my own. So let’s be real..it’s been a
productive time.
This past weekend I had the awesome opportunity to visit my
family in Brisbane, Queensland. I flew in on Friday 18 July and before I knew
it I was already back in freezing Sydney
.
My trip to Brisbane was spectacular, was such a blessing to
see my family that I haven’t seen in over 10 years and was absolutely spoiled
by them. I loved the city of Brisbane, most of all I loved the sunshine. We
went to the Gold coast for the day and well I found myself more than at home
with my feet in the sand, salty breeze in my hair and sunshine beaming in my
face - heaven!
Can you believe in the dead of winter, there I was soaking
up the warm sun! Who knew just an hour and 15 minute flight away was a place
that reminded me of home.
Finding the sunshine in winter made me think a little bit
about life.
Finding sunshine in winter was like …being welcomed home by
my lovely Guatemalan friends, Ale and Christian who are such a blessing – and gave
me a ride home.
It’s like… coming home to your roommate and housemates you
haven’ t seen in weeks and catching up
over lost time
It’s like the realization that you have Monday off and can
sleep in – and yes I slept in till 12pm ;)
It’s the feeling of peace and ease that I don’t have to struggle
with money this month because my uncle and aunt blessed me with some extra
money.
It’s like the feeling of being so refreshed after a weekend
away and being ready for the next semester!
So it’s basically like CHRISTMAS in July, which it is
indeed! Despite the cold, there is love and sunny happiness!
Much love
