We had this speaker, Michelle Skorski come in and speak to us all week. She is from Florida, and is on a Christian radio station there. She was sooooo insightful. Seriously this woman has an amazing relationship with God and his love was definitely shown through her this week. She spoke on the “Father heart of God.” We learned a lot about forgiveness and just the attributes and lovingkindness God has.
This week was actually a little rough though. Almost all my friends from home are guys, so it’s pretty difficult living in a room with 11 other girls. Especially since we all have such different personalities, it gets a little frustrating when I just want to be alone or with all my “bros.” I miss my friends from home a lot, but it’s fine. It’s really good to learn to adapt to all different sorts of personalities.
Got to talk to a couple friends from home this week for a few hours each! Was great to share how my life is changing with them, and how accepting and open they were to listen to me. I am so blessed with such amazing people in my life :)
This week I’ve really just been working a lot on letting go of all anger and bitterness, and focusing on humility and selflessness.
Friday night the whole YWAM base here went into the city of Brisbane to evangelize. Some pretty traumatic things happened, and quite a few of us witnessed a tragic death, so if you could all pray for that man’s family, and those of us that were affected by what happened, that would be great!
Saturday I went into the city again with a couple of friends to go to this man-made beach and pool. It was SUCHHHH a beautiful day! It was also nice to just lay out in the sun and just relax after a long week of lectures. We also went and saw the movie “Taken 2.” It was really fun! There was about 20 of us, all speaking in different accents so we got quite a bit of funny looks from those around us at the cinema.
Alsooooo, since there are so many musicians here, I am learning how to play guitar! It hurts a looooot because I don't have calluses on my fingers yet, but I'm getting there! It's really something I've wanted to learn for a long long time so I'm glad I finally get to! Maybe eventually I will buy my own guitar (if the finances are provided!) Because it's something I'm realllly enjoying and I know I can use it in so many good ways! :)
Anyways, it was a great week and I am very thankful for just being here in Australia! Oh and some of the food was a lot better this week, (lots of mexican food!) the main cook here is from Arizona so he likes to make a lot of mexican food. This week was his birthday and I wrote on his birthday card thanking him for bringing some home food to australia, and the next day he gave me a jar of his home-made salsa! WHAT A GEM :)
