No broadband

Well, as of sunday night the broadband died. Which really sucked. Because I wasnt going to have it back until my RA got back from his trip and reset the router, but it has miraculously started working again. Which is kinda bad cos Im procrastinating.

The cutest thing happened to me last night at church. At the beginning of the service, a 5 year old boy was sitting next to me. He gave me a flower and said "this is for you and your mother". It was awfully cute! I guess you just had to be there.

This boy, with such a character and life, gave me hope. Just in that, he reassured me that I wanted to be a teacher.

We talk about God fufilling the desires of our hearts. I remember when I got that 3rd round offer into education, I got a message from a good friend of mine saying, "God really does fufill the desires of our hearts!" That said, he doesnt always fill them the way you expect them to.

The day I got my enter score, my heart broke. I knew that there would now be no way to get into the course here in Bendigo. BUT, how could it be the end? It was my dream, and I had such a desire to do the course in Bendigo. Not in Adelaide, not in Mildura - Bendigo. And, you know, thats a tad odd for someone who comes from a place like Pinnaroo, also a bit odd for someone like me, who you'd see go and do some kind of biblical course, probably at the time would have joined PCOM or YWAM. But no, there was this YEARNING to be here in Bendigo!

So I doubted. I doubted that I would ever make it to my 'dream city', and started looking at other options. But in the end, God had it all under control. That year, many people deffered, and many new places were opened. My enter was about 2 points off the final cut off.

In year 12, this was a dream. Living far away from SA, being my own person, relying on God alone. Its happning, but Im still learning.

So I still want to be a teacher.

I gotta go home to Pinnaroo over the holidays. My measly one week. Its really difficult in one week; I spend two days just getting to and from Pinnaroo.

I felt like part of the 'life of the church' on sunday night. Just by this funny little thing happening... It was time for the offering, and Andrew held up the two offering bags, and was going to let "two little people" do it. Obviously, because he has before, he is going to let two of the little kids do it. Here I scrounging in my wallet for offering money, when I hear him say "Sammy and Cara". And I thought he was kidding! I dont know how to do offering no matter how easy it is! But alas I got through it. This little thing made me feel like Ive kinda lost that 'visitor' status and Im more of a 'regular'.
