australia

ok, so it is not official, but....i just can't wait any more....i am the new coordinator of the council for christian colleges & universities' australia studies centre. i will be working under the director, kimberly spragg. you can read more about the ASC and the CCCU on their websites.... www.bestsemester.com and www.cccu.org.

it's hard to believe and still has not sunk in yet...the search is over. God has brought me this amazing job that seems like it will be such a great fit, combining all the things i am so passionate about...faith, art, ministry, social justice. and i will be working along side students as they break out and experience wonderful new things and are challenged. i am so excited, yet still holding back the celebration until i have a signed contract. they are in the process of drafting up the contract. then the work visa process will begin. i am praying that it goes quickly and smoothly. also that all the little details about my move come together. i am also excited to be investing in a community for longer than two years! i am not sure how long i will live in australia, but i am ready to commit three to five years or longer...beyond that, God only knows!

i suppose that is it for now. i'm sure i will have many more things to say about this whole journey i am about to embark on. i'm off to move around some furniture for my mom's spa party thing tonight and then it's the treadmill for me. i feel so much better when i exercise regularly. oh, and i might get to do a bit of water skiing this weekend. nobody is renting our lake cottage right now so my sister and jeff and all their friends are headed up for the weekend. i think i will go too...spend time...and play in the water with my nieces!
