I'm back on the couch in the rec room in Sydney, Australia, with Gloria Jean's coffee in my belly and Airendelle (my computer) on my lap. Can such things be?? Commissioning is tomorrow night, we wrap up debriefing Friday and Saturday I leave this place and season of my life behind me as a board a flight to New Zealand. Everything is happening so fast! This has been an incredible time and I know I will never forget it.
For the last few weeks especially I have been refocusing. Remembering why I'm doing what I'm doing. (Because Jesus is worthy and I love Him) Remembering to make the most of every opportunity as it presents itself. (As opposed to living in the future or the past)
Remembering who I am. (And that I have a responsibility to be me, because this world needs a me and no one else can do it) Remembering that my time is precious and short. (There is some truth to YOLO) And as a result I have been enjoying each moment on a whole new level, which has been amazing.
I have edited what I'm doing after DTS a bit.... I will not be going to the Kona base for the School of Acting for the Screen this April. It was too much too soon. Also I had wrong motivations, so I will be applying for the same school in April of 2016 instead. During this upcoming year or so I will be doing several ministries God has given me heart for in Denver, so I plan on continuing to blog. I also hope to tell more specific stories about outreach in South Africa as I process it and get around to writing about it. In the meantime, I have posted a new page called Outreach Report to hopefully answer some of your questions. (Theoretically it should show up on the side bar of the blog... wifi is really dodgy on the base currently)
I hope to be posting more soon, but I am very busy with finalizing everything here and traveling and suchness. But know that I am beyond ecstatic for everything God has in store for this next phase, and I do plan on keeping you up to date with it all. I love you all very much and can't wait to see you as I come back stateside!
