Work!

So after a week and a bit of being sick, I'm healed! It's awesome to have my clarity back and my head not being so cloudy. Thanks to everyone who prayed, there were a lot of you and I'm grateful as it did wonders!

So I finally got work at the Hilton! It was exciting to go back! My first shift in two month was this past Saturday. Wow, after not working for so long at the end of the shift my body was EXHAUSTED! My entire body was in pain! As I laid in bed at 3AM [Got off at 2 AM] I couldn't wait to just fall asleep and escape the pain. Okay, so it wasn't to bad but it was enough pain to make falling asleep a little difficult. I also worked today which was a little 4.5 hour shift which was nothing, we just had to do a set-up for tomorrow. I work next Saturday also! It's good.

Semester 2 is starting this Thursday! I'm really excited to get started but I know that this last 6 months of my time here in Sydney is going to go quick so I'll enjoy it as much as possible! Although I am looking forward to coming to the other side and seeing everyone. It will be amazing to be home!

To end this quick post I wanted to share a word from God. I've been reading this book by Louie Giglio titled "I am not but I know I Am." [Recommenced it, even if your aren't Christian but believe in God.] So I was talking to my dad because I was having a difficult time and he shared a word with me, "Be still and know that I am God." So I got off the phone, picked up the book, and in bold letters being read for the first time on the page I was on was Be still and know that I am God. My draw dropped and I smiled. I live for the creator of the universe, I live for Jesus, and the Holy Spirit lives in me. God is huge and in control. I believe that the sabbath, or the seventh day of rest was made for us to realize who God is in our lives and to know that God is God and He is in control with or without us. Pretty much the world is going to keep on going with or without you. I don't want to make us feel insignificant but to help us realize who is ultimately in control. I won't go into much more detail but give the book a read!

So I get to go to bed at a reasonable time! Goood night! Love you all!

6 months!

It's hard to believe that on the 18th of July I'll have lived in Sydney, Australia for 6 months. I wish I could say it's easy, but for me it wasn't. It's been hard and difficult living so far away from everyone. I really wish for just a moment I could come back and see you all and sit down with everyone and just talk about life and everything that has been going on, but I can't, not yet.

Over the past week I've been fighting the flu. The high fever, aching body, couch, sore throat, headache kinda flu. Of course it had to come right before conference. I fought it until I had to return to my bed Tuesday afternoon and sleep till Wednesday afternoon, literally. I went to the doctors and got some medicine and such. I've been praying and praying but it only seems that my body is just going to have to fight this one.

The conference, was amazing. Indescribable.
Check it out.



Everyone watch this!

Love you all.
