I've been here in Oz almost 5 weeks... and it feels like 5 months..

This past week I found out what my areas of service in the church were (as apart of college, we are required to be involved with 2 weekend services (church life), and 1 church ministry a week (fieldwork)... ) and I'm still in shock...

Let me explain:

So, I am here studying Worship and Creative Arts (W&CA)... and have been really debating, and wrestling with God about possibly changing my majour to Pastoral Leadership with a pathway of Events. After lots of prayer, God confirmed that I'm here and doing what He's got planned.

Well, when it comes to church life and fieldwork, the college places you in an area that goes along with your majour (ex. W&CA=choir, Pastoral youth=youth etc.)... So, I'm expecting to be placed in choir or an extension service for my church life, and I was shocked when I found out that I was placed in... EVENTS!! I'm the only W&CA student doing events... all of the other kids doing Events are Pastoral Events students. THEN I find out that my fieldwork is none other that... Creative Events!! 

For those of you who don't know, my passion is behind-the-scenes work. My Events team makes sure the church services on the weekend go smoothly; we do everything from making sure the communion servers are there (and if they aren't we do communion!) to personally escorting the pastors and staff to their seats. Creative Events on the other hand, is the team that (pretty much) RUNS the special events in the church... My next big events: The Colour Conference, Album recording (!!!!!), and Hillsong Conference. 

I'm still in the clouds! God is such a provider... I'm where I'm suppose to be, and now doing what's been in my heart for so long!

Well, I just had to share that... I'm off to an all girls Valentine's Day party... I've got to be at church at 7 tomorrow morning... that means leaving at 6.30!

But I love it!

Be blessed, and have a fantastic Valentine's Day
