take 2, 1 month and 28 days left: Literally livin' the dream!

These past 12 days were spent in Tasmania, camping around the island.
One particular night, while around the camp fire, one of my camp mates asked the question,
"If an asteroid were to hit the earth in 5 days' time, what would you do?"
one person answered with "time with friends and family", another answered with "spend these 5 days camping under the stars!", another answered with "empty the bank account and go do things/buy things i always wanted to!"
My immediate thought was to return to Sydney, and keep doing what i've been doing for these past 2 years. i absolutely love it. no where else i'd rather be but serving at Hillsong, and seeing how incredible it is. I never can get used to it. Even though church can be such a routinely weekly thing, it never is. because different people are impacted every week. or the same ppl are impacted different every week. i am continually changed every week! sometimes more than others. but its true. try spending 5 minutes in the Word of God, and you'd be a liar if you weren't changed.
i really do appreciate the direction my life has gone. given up on the worldly desires and the "american dream" of finding a job that pays good money, so you can buy things in life. nah... to truly discover for myself that there is so much joy and satisfaction in serving in the house of God, building ministries, and furthering His kingdom, no matter how direct or indirect. Whether it be putting up scriptures during Sunday service, or helping coil a cable during a video shoot on the weekday... it all contributes towards the vision and the direction of the church. knowing the church is in good hands, under amazing leadership, because the leaders all take their personal relationship with God seriously, there's comfort in that.
really appreciate all im learning here. excited to be taking this back to TO with me, the beginning and continuation of more ministries! homebound in 1 month and 28 days, its going to be good times! :)

PS. Tassie was okay... not worth the visit IMHO. if you're down in this corner of the earth, i'd pick NZ over tassie any day!
