The AWESOME work of God!

So I have to catch up on the weeks as even though I don't do alot during the week I never think to update my blog (semi fail)
I think this will be one of my most FAV blogs to write!

So on Thursday night (4 weeks ago) I was sitting in the apartment watching Will & Grace - same old same old & I could hear a guitar being played, so I muted the TV & then there was singing & I knew the song. I was in the process of talking to Gem and I explained what I had heard and she pushed me to go investigate it more...so I did - I walked out of the apartment and walked past the room where it was coming from. There was about 8 students sitting and singing. Gem is like just walk in and be like 'Oh hey' I couldn't do it... just as that happened one of the girls walked out of the room and sat on the floor outside. I knew this was my moment to introduce myself and investigate what was going on, so I did. I said that I was a christian and I loved the song you were just all singing..she explained that they are a small group and then invited me to join - I said yes, give me 5mins to change (i was wearing another college sweat pants - which I have been told is a massive NO NO) So i entered the room and from that moment forward I was welcomed and the rest is memories and history. 

Thursday's became my new favorite night & little did I know that would change again. The following week I was then invited to go to karaoke after small group and there I meet approx 15 other christian students. We sang and danced in a restaurant (Apple-bee's) and there began some great friendships.        I then was told on Friday night there was a worship service on campus - I was so excited as it had been a very long time since I had been to church, so I went and it was yet another awesome night with friends and meeting more people (by this stage - people are like Ohh your the "Australian" I laughed and said yes) I have started going to a church and have continued to go every week and get blessed by the 20min car ride with some awesome guys as well as the worship service.

I will say this, God works in awesome ways & I always knew that this move to USA was His plan, I thought it was for performing, yet I know that was not the full plan.
   These last 4 weeks I have been challenged, words of love and life spoken to me. I'm starting to think that this move to USA was not fully for performing, yet I was to find my feet as a person and grow spiritually and performing would be a bonus. If I am to come home in a month or 6 months, I know that my time was used well and I have not failed.

I was sent a mudlove bracelet that has the word 'Faith' written on it, with this there was a letter that said that it would help me to Keep trusting in God. 

Jenna I have worn this everyday and it is an awesome reminder - Thankyou!

I could write about so many people I have met and how they are influencing my life and making such an impact, yet this would be a massively long blog (so if you wanna know more in depth - Just message me :D ) 
I also want to say here - A huge thank you to my aussie friends and family who have not forgotten about me and have continued to prayer and bless my life from afar.
The messages, presents & video messages from friends make it all worth it!!

"Where God guides - He provides"
"Faith doesn't make things easy, It makes them possible"

Be on your guard
Stand firm in Faith
Be Courageous
Be Strong.
Do everything in Love
