Auckland, New Zealand :S



Hello New Zealand! This is my first stop in my 16 hour trip. It is 46 degrees cold, just got off the plane and I'm absolutely TIRED!I didn't sleep very well, and I have to wait for 7 hour in this Airport... :S But on the bright side, I'm so much closer to my final destination than ever before, Sydney, Australia. Well, some facts, New Zealanders are SUPER nice, but very quiet people, everything in this airport is so silent, even those who sit in a bar watching a Rugby (I hope I spelled that correctly) game, are absolutely silent. Totally different from an American airpot, and ABSOLUTELY different from Miami, where people don't talk, they scream. Besides that, such beautiful views of landscape out the window, and well, I have to give them prop's, it is indeed one of the most beautiful airports I've ever been to. So far so good, and off to take a nap...

Driving in Los Angeles?


Los Angeles... Oh the city of the STARS! where everyone dreams of becoming one, or already is one. A city with amazing weather and NO HUMIDITY! You heard me right Floridians, sun shine and NO HUMIDITY a dream right? Well, when you arrive nobody tells you of the nightmare it is to DRIVE in the streets of LA!! I can say, with no doubt, that it is easier to drive in Miami than in LA.

However, no one tells you about the horrible traffic! The millions of people who roam around these streets and cannot drive to save their lives and . The streets are half the size of ONE lane in Flamingo Road.
Or what about the horrible parking experience. Oh, I forgot to tell you there is no parking anywhere! so you have to park in the streets, where you could get a ticket and you will never know why. The nightmares of finding a space to park. If you ever find a space.

Oh Beautiful LA, but I don't ever want to end up like this...

Going Away...





So as I go away to my new experiences I have to thank EVERYONE that was and has been part of my life. I will miss and Love you all forever, I wish I could put a picture of each and everyone of you guys, but there are too many people who have absolutely changed my life. I cannot express my gratitude and LOVE for each and everyone of you, in this blog post. But just to let you know that a piece of my heart stays with each person. Now, I am ready to take on a new life, a new path, and to mature on my own. And it is only because of YOU that I am the person I am now. I love you all so so so so Much!

I will keep you posted. And on I go to experience my new life. :]

Thank You SO much for all the love, the care, the patience, the friendship, the laughs, the tears, and everything else I lived.

Scared?



LoL I Love this picture! Ha, it makes me laugh but that's just how I feel about leaving to Australia. I am SO scared about living by myself, managing my money, cooking every day, just alone living on my own! Ah! Even though i try to be so strong and accomplished... I am such a dependent person, and being independent totally freaks me out! I will have to do it, and grow up, but I feel like God looks at me like that monkey in that picture. :S But I Have to Trust in God, be strong in his strength, and own the power that Christ has given me!

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Australian VISA



So after waiting for my VISA for 3 months almost 4 months, I've finally finished all my paper work for this VISA. I have to tell you that this is one of the most difficult trials I've ever had to go through. Waiting for 3 months, not knowing what was going to happen, to be PATIENT! It was definitely a life changing experience. I believe that God really tested my faith, and I feel like I failed his trial, I doubted every second of it, and sadly I must confess, I'm still doubting. I always considered myself as a "woman of faith" but I have to tell you that God proved me wrong. I still have so much to learn, so much growing to do, and I'm glad that I went through this to realize how human, and imperfect I really am. But as I went through all of these trials, I learned and grew closer to God every day. Everything seems as if I'm leaving July 10th, but I trust God that if anything happens and I don't leave that God still has a huge plan for my life here in Flamingo. I have to trust and have faith because there is nothing else I can humanly do. Finally, i am forced to have faith, and I thank God because he keeps testing me and loving me to become more like Jesus.

Just Got Accepted to Hillsong International Leadership College!



I believe with all my heart that God is preparing me to do something amazing with my life, that he has created me to be an INSTRUMENT to change the world. And this includes me going to Hillsong International Leadership College.
So my journey starts here... After My letter of acceptance to Hillsogn College.
Millions of thoughts are running through my head, mostly exciting thoughts, but also very net-racking thoughts. Am I really going to make it in a country all by myself? Will I be able to pull myself together and really take on the challenge that God has put in my hands? So many things I will have to learn, to take on, to start living as an independent individual. I'm scared to death but I cannot wait to take on the journey!

15 Weeks to go...
