It doesn't seem like it has been a whole year since I left the USA to travel to Australia but it has been. I began last year knowing that I was preparing for a faith walk. I didn't realize how much would come from that walk! It was not an easy walk; everyone wasn't my friend, everyone didn't support me, I had missteps, I had misplaced faith... but ultimately there was little harm.
It's crazy how much has changed since then... Like I live in a new city and state, I still am not working (not because of any lack of effort), and I am married. Some pretty significant changes right!?! Yet, I'd say I'm still on my faith walk. Honestly, I think that my whole life will be a faith walk. God has a lot to give me and I have a lot to receive. It's a constant struggle to strive to be more like Christ by choosing to "die daily." I know that most of the time I am hindering myself. Placing hope and expectation into things that are not mine to have. Easy to say, hard to accept :-P
I miss you all infinite! I have met some great people and am growing relationships but that of course doesn't mean I don't miss you all. It's weird, growing up that is.
Here are some of my "old" Oz pictures :-)
See you. Miss you. Love you.

On Fraser Island (RIP sunglasses)
I thought this sign was comical...
The oh so beautiful Whitsundays :-)
Going across the Nullarbor Plain.
Litchfield National Park
Australia's Great Ocean Road with Jason, Melanie and Cherina :-)
Someone bought this for me... It got left where I took this picture. (No space for such fragile things).
Arrived in downtown Sydney from the train via the airport from my flight from Melbourne.
See you. Miss you. Love you.
