the blessing I never knew

Life has changed so much sinces I last bloged.

I have failed finding a job, money has become so tight, and with a massive CA payment and a visa applaction to pay for, I know I'm not going to afford it.
for a while now, I have had the feeling that this is not my year for camp america, i cant believe this, as i was so excited for it. its funny though, when god calls you to somthing diffrent, it feels good, and you know its where your ment to be. next time I'm at kellys, or have a land line, im putting the call into shelly to cancel my camp america applaction, I know its what i have to do.

so now im not going to the states. whats happening for me?
the united kingdom. thats what.
working hoilday = 2 years in england.
im so excited, ive found a church, a place to live. i just need to find a job. it will happen, i know where im ment to be.
I cant wait to see my dad again.
I cant wait to stand on my own two feet.

I cant wait to cross the world

as the 15th of may approches, ill blog more.

god bless!

Changes.

So....
it turns out I don't have guaranteed placement for Camp America (CA), but its OK, I trust it will fall into place!
it doesn't make waiting any easier!! its driving me slightly insane!! I like things to happen when I'm ready and having to sit and wait until possibly early may to know whats happening does not help!
but i know it will be OK, i have faith that this is in god's plans for me.
I'm kinda worried I wont even get placed, but the CA site says 99% of people get placed, so my chances are high! and i just have to have faith! (easier said than done sometimes)

what else has changed...... OH YEAH!!
Kelly's not coming to Camp America anymore.
after our youth summer camp, Getaway, she said the call on her life is to stay here in New Zealand for this year, and maybe 2011 will be her year for CA!
a part of me is gutted, I've lost my traveling Buddie, and also, I'm not going to see my best friend for a long time.
On the other hand, I couldn't be more proud of her, she is truly tuned into god, and the fact shes following him so whole heatedly gives me home.
our chance to find our Independence together will come.

After camp America I'm going to England to live with my dad for a while, I'm excited, and nervous about this part of the trip, its been close to 12 or so years since i have seen him, but this is my chance to let go of so much, and get to know the other half of me again.
there is talks of me staying over there for some time, maybe going to uni or working there. this excites me so much!! My friends think i will be back really quickly, but part of me hopes I'm not, I want to stand on my own 2 feet for a while, I have some growing up to do, and this is the best time in life to do it!!!

that's all for now!
go out, live your life, and don't be afraid of changes, we grow from each one we go through.
