Eh Mate!

It has been a week living here in Australia and things are going good! I love the people I am meeting here. They are from all over the world and are so talented in so many ways! This past weekend I went to both the city campus and hills campus services! The services were great and worship was amazing!

Today we had orientation and I have never been so excited to start school! It began with some worship then the Vice President of the college poured into us (who is so funny). Hillsong is all about getting the students to build their relationship with Christ and to go all over the world and spread the good news! They do care about the talents of students but what they care about more is their engagement with Christ! We also had auditions today! The reason they have these auditions is to see where you're at so that they can help you grow and challenge you. I love how they do things here! This will be such a great year and I am so excited to see all that God will teach me!

These past couple of days have been so good for me and my time with Christ. Of course, I have been missing everyone at home and sometimes it can be hard but I read this Deuteronomy 31:6  the other day and it hit home for me. I know God will never leave me and He will be the One to give me joy when in all situations.

Deuteronomy 31:6
"So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you."

Below is the hills campus. Amazing!

At Hillsong they have toothbrushes in their bathrooms...have not figured this one out yet :)

Please still be in prayer for a job opening up here! I know God will provide in this area! I love you all!

ALWAYS PERSEVERING

Australia begins!

Hello everyone! I am really excited to start blogging! I just moved to Australia on Tuesday to go to Hillsong International Leadership College. I entered into the Worship Stream and I am so excited to learn and be stretched in so many ways by God. I plan to blog about all that God is teaching me and hopefully it can speak to you and encourage you! 

Some prayer request that I would have right now is for God to provide the right job for me here! Things  in Australia are very expensive. I mean there is no dollar menu at McDonalds. How is that possible? :) I know God will provide and I would love for all my friends and family to be in agreement with that! 

This is the Sydney Harbor Bridge! This was the one of the first things I saw while driving from the airport to Hillsong! So cool!

 This is the house that I am living in! I have 6 other roommates. Two are from Switzerland, one from Germany, one from Norway, one from Canada, and one from LA. They are awesome people. I have about a 25 minute walk from here to school. So no need to worry about getting out of shape :)

Hillsong has two campuses. One is in the city of Sydney and one in a suburb called Bella Vista (also know as the Hills Campus) . I attend the Hills Campus. It is beautiful! All sorts of trees everywhere and some awesome birds like parrots!

Thank you for all your prayers!
