Home Sick

Right now, I'm wishing that I could be in Australia.

Why???

Sunshine, Warmth, Family, Beach, Milo, Cherry Ripes, My Mum, my friends, shal I go on?

I know that I should be thinking and enjoying where God has me now....but I just want the things that are familiar and safe to me. I still drive around here and have to pinch myself "do I really live here?" As much as things are normal here I don't always feel at home, It feels surreal and unbelievable. I know that God is growing me in this experience...making me a better women. I suppose that He can't make it easy can HE?

I'm being challenged to step out of my comfort zone. By running P.A.T.CH. (toddlers), this is something that I never saw myself doing. I've been asked to get up front at church to do an appeal for more help at PATCH. And then today I was asked to be interviewed for Mother's day on Sunday... Public Speaking has got to be one of my biggest fears.. it sends my heart racing, palm sweating and I forget what it is that I'm going to say...

I feel that I just can't say no. I feel God prompting me to step out and let Him do that rest. I feel unfaithful because I'm even questioning that He will catch me.

LORD give me courage and faithfulness to do your work, to be a instrument for your work. Amen

Little By little may I grow closer to you each day.

I'll let you know how it all goes!!
