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.
