Coming to the End....

well...it has been quite some time since i last blogged, i've been thinking about blogging for quite a while but then forget each time i sign off the internet - well i started my new job at the nursing home doing physio - i'm called a Mobility Assistant - i started the first week of September, so it's been a challenge to once again balance work and school and now i have something everyday of the week and no day to sleep in :-( and after a while that really takes a toll on the body - so lately i have been having a rough time with that, thankfully people are understanding so my carpark team have given me the last 2 sunday mornings off to relax and recover which has been so nice and i have stopped going to hillsong women on thursday mornings well serving anyways so that has been good - i'm really just ready to have this year be over i guess though and just to be able to relax and not have to get up and be anywhere etc i'm looking forward to going home to see my family, yes i'm heading back to Canada for 3 weeks which is exciting - we are done exams and assignments though in college right now which is nice, so i only have to go to class right now which is nice, the pressure of homework etc is gone and we are just waiting for grad ball on november 29th which is going to be AMAZING!!! so i work 8 hours on a monday and 5 hours on a saturday and i get paid time and a half on a saturday which is really nice because for the amount i was getting paid and the hours i was getting, it wasn't going to be quite enough to cover all my bills, but God really does know what he's doing and he has provided more than i need. The lady i was working with has now gone full-time with the church with her husband and they are overseeing pastoral care which is so exciting, because it's been her dream to work full-time with her husband and only now is she seeing that dream ful-filled - so if you use what God puts in your hand, he will give you what's in your heart!!! i've started doing this course on monday nights which is called "search for life" its really great, it has been very freeing for me and there is so much to say about that and why i'm doing it and what i'm learning but i'm not sure i want to talk about all that on here, but GOD is good and i'm so glad that he brought me all the way here, it's been so much more than what i was expecting this year - he really is working on healing me and i'm going to be set free - just pray for me for finances to study a second year - as of this minute i don't have any and i'm in debt, so i need a few thousand dollars but that is not too big for God. so it's coming!! also pray for a safe flight for me home to Canada and back to Australia and that God would work out all the financial stuff and whether i could work two part-time jobs in january maybe to be enough money that i need - God is teaching me how to let him in - i realized that i go through most of the day a lot of times without even acknowledging him and then for things that frustrate me, instead of stewing over them, going to God and venting to him and then feeling much better, why i wouldn't do that all the time i don't know! duh! haha..i crack myself up! anyways trying to think what else i've been learning - who i am in Christ i think, my worth in him and getting all that i need from him, i don't think i really totally understand it yet, but i'm starting to see different things that i do and how that is trying to feed whatever my need is instead of going to God and God is so gracious - he only reveals to us what we need to know at that time- but really that's why it's so important to be in the word daily and praying so that we can become more like Jesus, because it really is a daily journey - and we need to keep feeding on God as much as we can - i really need to go to bed now!
