Quick little life update

As it turns out, I am NOT moving to Australia. Well, at least not anytime in the immediate future. At first I thought it was only for monetary reasons. I was wrong. Even if I won the lottery tomorrow, I wouldn't move right now. I love my family and I want our relationship to be continually strengthened. I feel like I was being extremely selfish with this whole situation and that was not the way it was supposed to be. I'm pretty sure I learned exactly what I needed to. I won't lie and say this isn't a bit of a hard blow but, everything will work out for the best. I remember talking to someone about how Australia stuff was not going according to plan and he asked me if I had ever heard the saying, "If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans." Smacked me right in the face. Funny how life works, huh? On with the update. Hopefully, I'll be studying Culinary Arts in January and possibly get myself a j-o-b. I just have to get over my aversion to. . . And here's a song I like by an artist/actress/amazing woman I love ;-D
                                     What else do you want from me? A-th-th-th-That's all folks.
                                                                       For now ;-D

I'm moving to Australia

Yes, you read that correctly. I am in fact moving to Australia. Say WHAT?! I'll be moving in January to study worship music at Hillsong International Leadership College. I can't say I've told too many people about this until recently for multiple reasons. I'm not going to share them all but, here are a few.
 1) I had to seriously pray about it to determine whether it was God's will and make sure I wasn't going for the name of Hillsong.
2) I didn't want anyone trying to sway me one way or another. To go or not to go.
3) I'm actually a fairly shy person and it's still really surreal for me.  If we have actually talked about this, have you noticed how little I say?
Now that we've got that out of the way. Yes, I am beyond excited to moving across the globe to go to college. I am absolutely scared senseless as well. I've never been without at least 1 member my family for more than a few days and this is going to be weird for all of us but, I think it's going to be an incredible growing experience for all of us as well. I'm a melting pot of emotions. Haha. I know this is going to be an incredible time of growing with God and while I'm nervous and sometimes hesitant about this move I know God is going to use this time to shape me into the woman of God that He's called me to be. God is already stretching me in faith to trust that He is all I need.
That being said while tuition is cheaper than here in the states I'm not eligible for the financial aid I would be going to a college in the states. There's also the plane ticket, visa, and monthly cost of living. I do not have the funds right now but I know God will make a way and provide. I would never ask you to do anything your uncomfortable with but, if you feel led to donate that is greatly appreciated. I'll also be taking orders for baked goods & we can discuss prices. More than that I really need for people to lift me up in prayer continually. Well, that's about it. If you want to ask me anything, feel free :-D

Post numero uno

I may be deleting this. I'm just trying to get a feel for this. Today has been the longest no shortest... It's just been a really tiring day. Woke up in a not so fun way this morning (I doubt anyone would care for specifics). I decided to stay home and slept some more. I then proceeded to go to the dentist where they told me a few things I didn't want to hear. I went home and went back to sleep only to get up again and go back. I got my crown replaced which was fairly painless to my surprise. It was really drawn out though. I watched Zoolander and because I was there for so long I started to watch it again. I'd forgotten how much I like that movie. I think this may be the best dentist I've ever had. I actually trusted him and he was kind of funny. Did I mention my mouth is still partially numb? Well, it is and that's kind of annoying because I'm hungry. I think I'm gonna order some pizza and go to Publix. Did I mention my phone spazzed out and now I have to restore it-I'm gonna lose everything. Can you say fantastic? I wanted to go to Trader Joe's. I don't think that's gonna happen despite me making plans with *cough,cough* Mom *cough,cough* a few weeks ago. Ta Ta for now
