Between a rock and a hard place.

It has been a few weeks now since I last wrote you all, and I hope you’ll forgive my neglect. I have been on quite the roller coaster over the last few days and weeks as I try to understand where God would like me. I am now standing between two pathways both  good yet I find that I am troubled with the choice. Isn’t it ironic that I could be so distressed and concerned about two things that are both good... I’m sure you are wondering exactly what it is I am talking about but as for now I am not at liberty  to say fully. All I can let you know is I have been offered a few good things that are in different places and therefore can not be done at the same time.
It is once again another sunny spring day here in Sydney as we discuss Monasticism and systematic theology in our random mixed up class... Aka all 1st & 2nd years in one class (Long story). The rest of today is actually fairly relaxing. I am going to recontact a few more places I applied for work and probably take a night for myself. With school holidays coming up soon the student body has become a little more restless as they await their much needed break. Everything is starting to get a bit more busy around here with Mens conference, and album week arriving shortly, and I’m excited to help with album week. 
Over all I think things are going well here and I hope to get to tell you all more as time goes on.
Until another day...

Another Day Down Under...

It has been a few weeks since I have written anything to you all.  In the last few weeks things have been  a roller coaster of events. Some good, some not so good. Over the corse of these last two weeks I have seen friends find work and get funding and others have their 3 week old MacBookPro completely distorted and another end up on crutches because of one misstep.  

I have been privileged to have work this last weekend and the possibility of more in the near future. During the week I have been running like crazy tying to keep up with everything that is going on here. It is quite the mad house here from day to day, and one that I seem to thrive in very well. I have learned a whole new level of appreciation for my craft (production), whether that is caused by the 40 minute walks in the freezing rain at 5 in the morning, or by long hours of work that gets taken apart in a matter of 30 minutes or less. I have learned that I do what I do because I love what I do and I love who is glorified through it. (Please don't hate on my horrid grammar…) 

Although life is not easy here I have come to appreciate it and the challenges that every new day brings. I have learned that while at school they pack our days out so much in order to give us roughly 10 years worth of ministry experience within one or two years. Amazingly enough today is my day off (meaning I got to leave the school at noon rather then 5pm) so I am getting some rest and possibly going to have some fun tonight… I am still in great need of work to continue my studies here, while I have had some it is still not consistent enough to make due. I have been assured time and time again that God will provide. So I'm going to just keep tying my best and see what he's got planned for me. 

Im sorry its been so long since I have posted anything. I hope to get some pictures and videos up soon enough so you can see a bit more of life down under.
