Well. I cannot believe this night has actually come. It seems like just yesterday that I landed in Brisbane not knowing what was in store for me; yet when I think of everything that has happened between now and then I cannot believe that it has only been 11 weeks. I have been through some big ups and downs through my time here, but God has taught me patience, trust, faith, and reliance. I am so blessed to have had this opportunity. I would like to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and support while I have been away- you are all a blessing in my life. I would love to catch up with anyone who wants to when I get back in the states; I will land Wednesday evening if you would like to give me a ring in a couple of days I would love to chat.
Tonight was a great way to end the journey. The Podlichs have been so much fun to stay with (Chris Podlich is a friend from Concordia who is from Brisbane), I have loved getting to know his mom, and she was so happy to have a girl in the house for a change since it is usually just her, her husband, and the two boys. We went out for fish and chips this evening for dinner and then for gelato and coffee. When I type my last words I am headed to pack my bags (my huge stuffed bags) and then hit the sack so I can get a good nights sleep before a couple days of travelling. This family is yet another reason to come back and visit Australia.......one day I will be back. Until then. Hope all is well stateside and cheers from down under.
Pslam 73:28 "But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the sovereign Lord my refuge. I will tell of all your deeds."
