Week 3

Things have been good lately, I have been praying heaps, reading my bible heaps and have felt like i have almost been able to touch God.
Its been intense, but I cant say that things have been (easy). Because i have struggled waking up and felt senses of loneliness and pain.
Although i live with the most amazing people and i have made heaps of friends here, I am starting to miss home heaps.
Starting to miss all the friendships i had back home and one that i think i may have wrecked which is hurtful.

I have applied for so many jobs it isnt funny and although things were hard i just had to keep on going. Making the most of every opportunity and making sure that I am trying and trusting that God would provide.

I have talked to so many people, but are finding it difficult to make friends here. I have made too many acquaintances because I talk to everyone wherever I go. But not really anyone i can be honest with and for someone to cry on when things are hard. I have met a nice guy and he has been a good friend but i need some girl support and I just think thats something that i need to pray and ask God about.

Yesterday I was on my last amount of money, I did some work for Jan and she gave me some. So that will get me through until I get paid from this Job.

Im finding things a bit difficult at times, im finding things challenging and dont know how to deal with things. I know the enemy is attacking me and that things are going to be hard for me obviously because of what God is doing in me. But i need to take my eyes off myself and look at the bigger picture. I also sometimes need to be a little easier on myself because I tend to punish myself when things go bad.
But i will go and see a psychotherapist when I get money and really deal with the deep down issues that i have seemed to have chucked to the side.

Things are good though, I am getting there, God is guiding me loving me and looking after me.
I now have a part time job working at a restaurant at nights, now all i need to do is find a day time job.

But I miss all of you so much, and i dont even know if people are still reading this or not.
I cried tonite because i miss home so much. But I know im here for a reason.

Last nite was the first nite i slept in a couple of nites because i have been stressing too much about money.

I admit, I am weak and im finding things are but in my weakness i will find my strength in God.
My hope will be renewed.

Tomorrow is a new day and i know that things will be stronger, i need to pray more, trust more and be more open for relationships with people and let them into my world.

I have been learning so much about God and so much about the bible and I will share it tomorrow.

Be brave, be strong and keep loving.
Because when all else fails love will find a way.

Love you all and miss you xoxo

    things will be okay, really. we both know things work for the good of those who love God :) and by the way!! we still haven't met and caught up since youv arrived in melbourne, so i think thats something we should organise!

    also, i think id be able to help you in your issues or at least be some support for you. God and i are going better since we first talked and you told me about you feeling to talk to me and start this internship and everything.

    things have changed and things keep changing, id like to get to know you and simply be there for you on this journey, if you want me to be.

    peace and love,
    Hannah
