one step closer!

GREAT NEWS!
I just checked my e-mail and got some exciting news! MY AUSTRALIAN VISA IS GRANTED! I am now able to travel in and out of the country of Australia for one full year! Because I have commited 2 years with YWAM, I will re-apply for another years visa when the time comes. This is very exciting for me! The last step into getting back to Australia is to raise the last of my support, sell my car and buy a plane ticket to OZ.
God has been guiding me through this whole process and has allowed me to see his fingerprints in my life every step of the way! He's been so gracious to me...I will praise Him forever!

DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THE FALL????
I dont know about you guys, but I really love FALL! I love the fresh crisp air, the changing leaves and the colorful skies! Everything is so clean and alive! I know that this doesn't make sense concidering the fall is when things start to die and the animals all begin to hybernate for the winter, but I really feel the most alive during this season and it always looks like the world is more awake as well.
On another good note, I want to just say that I have the greatest friends in the world. I have really enjoyed spending time with people lately. I love hearing everyones story and when I learn more about these people, I seem to understand more of the way God works and the way God loves. I know it's not Thanksgiving yet, but I really just want to scream out how THANKFUL I am for my friends and family. These people really bring fullness to my life! Thank you all for the joy you've brought to me!
Well, it's time for bed. May you all have a beautiful day in the Lord tomorrow!
God Bless you all REAL GOOD!
