The Wonderful Journey

I've been so pathetic with keeping an update with what's happening lately on my blog, but here goes...

Since Elliott moved here in September life has never been the same. It's been amazing and exciting. But it also came with it's flaws. Elliott still hasn't quite found his sense of homeliness in Adelaide and has been struggling to find people he can spend time with outside of spending time with me and playing music. Over Christmas break Elliott went back home and felt really happy to be back there, even if it was for a short time. But ever since, things haven't been quite the same. So Elliott and I have decided that it's probably best if he moves back to Queensland.

And here's the kicker... I plan to move up there with him. I think I might find going back to long distance quite hard, especially since I just got myself into a 3 year youth work course here at Tabor Adelaide. Whilst we were mulling over the decision of what to do, I hunted down a diploma in youth work run by Scripture Union in Brisbane. Just this week I took a deep breath and applied, which I definitely felt was a big step in our plans. Scripture Union called me today and so I now have interview with them on Thursday morning next week. Quite nervous about the interview, but I hope it'll be just as easy as cake like the one I had for Tabor not long ago.

A few issues we've come across already is that Elliott's centrelink payments have been suspended for the time-being, and with both of us not working at the moment it might be hard to gather some money together to pay for flights and such. We plan to move up some time in February (before the youth work course starts), God willing!

Please, if you're the praying or even hoping type, pray and hope that God will have his hand upon us and everything Elliott and I need to do, including discussing things with my parents, financial needs, my interview with SU (Thursday morning next week, don't forget!), finding accommodation (at the moment Imight have found a place) and the emotional side of things. I think it's going to be a teary farewell from Adelaide, leaving almost every bit of my life back here. But I am hopeful about the year ahead and the wonderful journey God's going to take me on. :)
