Sunny Days

2nd week with Liz and current thoughts

So the second week Liz and I headed up to Cairns where the Great Barrier Reef is - the first day we got there we just lounged by the lagoon in the city and then chilled at night - we decided the second day to go scuba diving and snorkeling out at the reef, alright so someone who gets motion sickness should not have even considered this, however, the stubborn person that i am, really wanted to do this - so we went out to Oyster Reef and Upolu Cay and well within the first half hour out on the boat i was puking - oh and it did not stop there - anyways i did end up going swimming for a bit because i had to get off that rocking boat - the water is beautiful, it really is that beautiful teal colour that you see in pictures - i was very thankful to get out to the cay - which is a little sand area in the middle of water - it was not moving which was great and we were able to stay there for about 1.5 hours! i got really sunburnt because i didn't take the time to put on sunscreen and then i got sand caked in my hair because it was so windy out there! i did take some pictures but i really wish i actually looked under the water to see the coral life etc, but oh well what can you do? the wednesday we went to Palm Cove Beach and it wasn't a really warm day so we just walked around and checked out the shops etc and i got my first ever massage! it was great, wish it could've been longer!!! and then thursday the day we were leaving we went up to Kuranda the rainforest area and we got to hold koalas, which definitely was the highlight of the trip for me, they are so cuddly, i wish i could bring one home with me! so that was our trip - other things that were going on with me was that i was really not wanting to be in school anymore, i don't really know what i want to do but i don't really feel like being in school, although now i think i'm okay with it - i was thinking of switching from powerhouse youth to wildlife which is 18-25 to 14-18 aged, but i think i really want to stay in powerhouse and be involved with my uni ministry which i'm already involved in and then maybe get involved with Hillsong Youth Services which i probably already mentioned in one other blog previously - so i'm looking to find out more info about that right now - because i think i see myself outside of the church more than inside - and i want to start a connect group - i think i just really want someone to pour into - i'm being fed so much and have no way of letting it flow out, which i know is not entirely true but i think you know what i mean - so yeah just been conversing with God quite a lot and i feel at peace now, feel i have a little more confirmation on things, not necessarily direction but that's okay
