Well I am currently sitting in the domestic terminal in Sydney waiting for my last flight to Hobart. I thought it would be a good time to update the blog.
Well I first must say what a blessing it was the last two months I had in Oregon. I was able to connect with family which I love so much, and some amazing friends as well. I was able to become tax deductable which is such a blessing as a full time Missionary. As well as I was able to speak at two churches, and a bible study. God helped me to make some amazing connections, and I was so blessed because of different people capturing the heart of what God has for me, and believing in me.
As I sit here waiting for my connecting flight to my new home in Hobart, I think back on all the blessings God has given me over the past years.
1st blessing - What an amazing family He has blessed me with, and I am so thankful they are in my life, fully supporting me in every way. I feel so loved, and so blessed. God is constantly looking out for me. Pics of my family just to honor them and let you know how much they mean to me.
(My Parents. . .Aww so cute)
My Older sister Tracey along with her husband (Tim) and six kids (Russell, Rochelle, Caleb, Katie, Gideon, Elias) (The older three are married :)
My Brother John along with his wife (Tiffiny) and four beautiful kids (Jacob, Benjamin, Taylor, and Gabriel)
My Sister Tamara and her husband (Scott) with there two kids (Maya and William)
2nd Blessings - God also blessed me with His constant provision in finances (He has paid for this whole trip through some amazing people in my life, I know they will be blessed because of it), as well as spiritual growth (which I am always learning and growing in) also bringing me into a better place emotionally and physically.
3rd Blessing- He is constantly watching out for me. There is a very recent story for this one. I was connecting to my Flight from L.A. to Sydney and I ran into a friend in Y.W.A.M who is heading off to Brisbane YWAM. We said hi, and chatted, its nice to meet someone you know while traveling. Well as we were going through Customs in Sydney I dropped my Passport between transition to the domestic terminal. I didn't realize at first that I had lost my passport, yet as soon I needed it to show to a ticket lady, I realized I didn't have it, I started to freak out and turned around and there was my friend who was also connecting flights and found my passport on the ground. She said she tripped on it, and thought it was hers because it was an american passport, she picked it up and realized it was mine and prayed that we would run into each other again before I realized it was gone. Well as soon as I realized it was gone she was there. WOW what a God thing, I could have kicked myself for being so stupid for dropping my passport, but at the same time, God was watching out for me, and not only had someone find it, but also my friend who knew me. WOW God's grace and love reaches through all the big and small things in our lives.
I am excited to see what this new home has as well as all the things God is doing in Tasmania. God is faithful through all the big and small.
. . .trust in the LORD--he is their help and shield . . .
Psalm 115:9
