chart a course of action.

vision - preparation - execution/action.

it's good to be in a new environment... fresh ideas, inspired outlook.

although i've gotta be honest, sometimes the future looks cloudy, not necessarily a bad thing... sometimes the sun can be quite piercing and a little shade can be nice.

so i'm taking it slow, i'll list my dreams, but at the same time, i'll trust God for what He's got for me.
a friend told me to relax and enjoy the ride, because my big God has got everything covered.

and i believe that.

i've gotta get my mind to start looking more like this:

get things organized in there... not that it's a real mess right now. but when things are in order, (just had a pep talk about keeping my spirit, soul and body in top shape today!) we tend to get things done much more efficiently. i need a lot of time in prayer, research and study-- coz "my" plans just pretty much went up to australia and hillsong college. now, i wait again for the Holy Spirit to lead.

praying for the future.

it's already April. time goes by so quickly, and next thing you know, i'll soon be standing at another fork in the road. i'm happy with where i am and where i'm planted at the moment.

can't wait to look back and be a living testimony of what God's doing and has done in my life.

for now, we wait and hope for the best.
i'm making a map of my life, and i can only chart where i've been, but i say, onwards to uncharted territory. i've got my God to guide me. #holyspirit

journey series: a beautiful view.

i think i've shared this before, briefly, in passing... but i know i mentioned it one way or another.
i've moved closer to school/church, and it's been about my third week here, but i feel like i've been here forever. our house is so amazing. THIS IS THE HOUSE OF FAVOR! or should i say, ... "favour"?

either pronunciation or spelling, God has been pouring out His amazing blessings over my life and i'm just utterly thankful.

this home is so absolutely beautiful, my four other housemates are awesome, and one of them is my roomie and sister in Christ. it's just so amazing to see how everything works out perfectly in God's timing and will. praises!!!

my home is literally 5 or less minutes walk away from school. i go home for lunch and break times and sometimes have naps in between (i just bought my first mattress ever.. i know, i'm saying "firsts" for everything pretty much!) and it's just sooo comfy! this is my first rental! so exciting.

last monday, we went to the city to get a few things and just take the day off with friends, and then on tuesday we topped off our two day break with an ikea run (mainly for the meatballs) to buy things for our room. we're still working on making it extra cozy.
here's a little photo of the morning view from our room :)

hung photos, paper lantern lamp, watercolor stain design and a beautiful view.

i hope you feel beautiful today.

so i know i've been MIA for the past couple days, weeks, .. ah, i don't even know what's going on. my regular routine just started again yesterday and i've seriously felt like i've been off in lala land a.k.a. colour conference.


anyway, i've got a series of stories for the next few days.

oh, and i found this little trinket while i was cleaning up stuff on my photo collection earlier today.
tomorrow's my REAL relaxation day, i am not going to think about what i'm gonna do, and i'm gonna take my time when i decide on doing whatever it is i choose to do. i think i'll be in bed until noon.... aaaah... very nice.

without further ado, my hidden little treasure. i hope you feel this way all day today!

journey series: autumn in march.

AUTUMN IN MARCH! on the opposite end of the world, so hey.

if i had a timeline, this would be my cover photo. i love it. (yes those are my legs and shoes)

i've been on the go....! the past weeks have been so good though. i'll put it a good story sometime next week, for now, here are some quick updates...

i moved to a new place that's across the street from church and school. thank you Jesus!
colour conference one in the sydney entertainment center was amazing.
hillsong kids team is the team to serve with. so much fun.
i am suffering from a cold, which will see its end tomoz!

journey series: life updates, and seizing the day.

now i understand it's been a while.... february just zipped past my eyes. i can't believe its already march!
well here are some quick updates from my adventures in the land down under....

i'm moving from my current housing situation to shared housing that's closer to school. it was a really good deal, and decided to grab it right away. i actually just moved most of my stuff this morning, and i'm gonna be moving in officially on tuesday. new space, new environment. what a gypsy!

i think i'm learning a lot about decision making.
sometimes, we can't linger. sometimes, we have to decide right away.

and other times, we have to come to an abrupt stop.



because, otherwise, skipping breathers will make you feel all wound up, and next thing you know you'll feel like your life is caving in on you.

right now, i'm just about ready to tackle on anything that comes my way because opportunities like "australia" doesn't come in neatly wrapped packages for most of us. i made a choice and i'm determined to make the most of my time here.

colour conference is around the corner, just days away, and i'm pumped to be in the midst of all of this. it's a privilege to be in an event dedicated to encouraging and empowering women from all over the world. some of those who are coming from the other end of the world may be at the verge of jumping into an adventure and journey just like mine, and i want to be able to tell her to go for it, and that she's got an army behind her, and the path before her has already been carefully planned and all she's gotta do is seize it.

i'm so glad to be where i'm at. i'm moving to my first rental (even if it's shared, it's still a milestone!), i'm attending colour, classes are going great, and the best part about it is that i'm really able to assess where i stand in my faith and relationship with God, and i get to work on it every single day.

it's already march, next thing you know it'll be july, and then it'll be the end of the year. until the next day rolls on around, i'm gonna be living each day ... enjoying the journey.
