For the past year and half I have been working at the YMCA in Perth and relevant course alongside this. I enjoyed this experience and totally believe that this was what God had planned for me for that period of my life. Summer 2008 I was lucky enought to spend another summer with my American family in California. I have often felt that I would move to America "when I am older" and when having a conversation about this my friends over there they asked me why I wouldn't just stay then.
On the journey to the airport when I was leaving I had a challenging conversation with Tim. He is someone who's opinion I really value and I really listen to what he has to say to me. He told me that he was speaking to his good friend and they had the feeling that I really belonged in California. When I heard this I was pretty scared, maybe scared isn't the right word but I was definitely challenged. Deep down I think it frightened me because it was something I also believed was true. Last summer I was fortunate enough to spend more time in California. As soon as I stepped off the plane I felt like I was at home. The whole summer I felt like God was confirming for me what I had been praying about for over a year.
Since coming back there have been little things that have happened that have again confirmed what I believe God has been trying to tell me. So I made the decision last month to finish at the YMCA and finish my course. I felt really lead to do this by God. I moved back home with no real idea of what I would be doing as far as work, but completely trusting in God. I am plan to be moved out to America by this summer. I now have a job, which I start tonight, at the Hotel just 15 mins away.
I just love being at a point in my life where I am learning to completely trust God in every aspect of my life and rely on Him. I don't know exactly what I will be doing in California yet but I know that God has a perfect plan for me and I am excited to see what this will be!
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
