So today I have a pretty crazy, but exciting announcement to make. Before I make it, I would like to take the time to say that Hillsong is an awesome place! They’ve helped me grow as a person, along with God building who I am, and helping me understand who I am in Him.
I enjoy, for the most part, doing Kids Creative (worship teams for Hillsong Kids!). Some days I do wake up very homesick, and ready to just move back to the states and live life how I’d like to. Missing my family, my girlfriend, etc, etc..is just apart of my everyday life now.
Everywhere I go, I either have to (1)walk, or (2) find a lift with someone who has a car. I don’t really like having to ask people for rides, because really...I feel like I’m imposing. Now if it’s a house mate, and we’re going to the same place, that makes it a bit easier, but I still feel bad inside.
The seasons have changed, and it is now winter here...which means cold, and rainy (at least it’s not snowing! There’s no insulation in most houses down here, so we’d all freeze!). Now it does get bone chilling down here! The temperature may read something that sounds warm to you, but the houses are like a fridge in the winter, and an oven in the summer (just to put things in more of a feeling perspective haha).
College life is alright, I just assumed that coming to Hillsong International Leadership College for the Worship Music Stream, that it would be half learning music and half learning and being equipped to be a leader in a church environment. When in reality here you learn mainly to be a leader, and you just use the gifts that you already have musically, and practice and learn on your own at home (which is what I was doing back home anyways as far as music goes).
Now I wish that I could afford a car, so that way I would have to walk to school everyday that I can’t bum a ride, not have to worry about having a hard time to find a job because my only means of transportation is my feet...etc, etc.. So here’s the BIG announcement..
I am planning on returning to the United States of America in July 2010 to, at least, work for one year and save up money for maybe returning to Hillsong College in July 2012.
Now I italicized words for a reason...this reason is that nothing is set in stone BUT me returning to the states in July. So who knows what God has in store for me over the next 5 years? I sure don’t. All I know is what He’s told me, and what I am doing now.
So this announcement was surprising, eh? Haha, please keep me in yours? Leave a comment, and give me your thoughts please? :)
Much love form the land down under!
