The Time Is Now

If ever there was a time to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, now is certainly that time.  

I’m so thankful for this time of seeing the world, meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I can’t say it’s been all laughs and no tears but it has been a time that continues to stretch me in every aspect.

A new season is approaching starting with my 22^nd birthday! I can tell you that every moment does count and that we need to be intentional with our days because years do go by fast. I don’t know if you still get “presents” for your birthday when you turn 22 since this is my first time but I would love to be able to purchase my plane ticket back home.

Then after my birthday is the Larapinta trail which was an amazing adventure last year. It is a trip that a local school does each year for their freshman class. It is an amazing opportunity to walk alongside the students and encourage them in their walk with the Lord, or to experience the love of Christ first hand. It is a combination of trails, worship, talks and eating! It is a 12 day trip and the goal is to walk 100 kilometres. It was is such a privilege seeing students come out changed with a better understanding of God’s love and becoming a friend they can continue to talk after the trip. I pray the same thing over these students this year. If you could pray for safety as these aren’t easy hikes and the fact that it’s a group of 25 freshman students together. Pray also that they have an encounter with the Lord that they will be able to hold onto forever.  I’m so honoured to be a part of this trip, God really does use it for his glory!

I have some other trips ahead but I will wait a little closer to time to explain them. I’m extremely excited for the things happening here in Darwin and that I get to be a part of God’s amazing plan for this city!  I continue to be encouraged by Gods love and the community here has been such a gift. I’m also beyond thankful for all your prayers and support!

I hope that where ever you are in life, you dare to follow your passions and make a change that matters to you.

 

Philippians 3:7-9

But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.  What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.

 

 

I really like this song about having hope and anticipating new beginnings even when there has been a great tragidy.
