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
