My last few weeks! :)

So last week I kind of hit a low in my time here. I just felt like I didn't really have passion for what I was doing and felt just emotionally and even a little spiritually drained. One of my friends sent me this song below and it definitely kind of sums up what I was feeling in a sense. 


But yeah, I was coming up to a semester break and I think I just needed time off campus to just rejuvenate and re energize. :) So last Thursday the 21st of April was our last day on campus and have had a break this week and it has been so refreshing! :) Here is what we did...

Thursday Night/Friday Morning: I had the most amazing skype/prayer session ever!!!! The Eastern Washington University morning prayer had me skype in and they all prayed for me for an hour. It was so amazing seeing familiar faces and made me realize how much I miss Cheney/Spokane!!! I love you guys and this was such an encouragement to me!!!! :) Thank you!!!!

Friday 22nd of April: Jess and I had a "homeless Easter" dinner. We cooked all day and invited over friends who didn't have families to go to for Easter dinner. We made a huge meal and just hung out with everyone that night.

Saturday 23rd of April: Jess and I flew to Brisbane and surprised our friend Steph for a 4 day holiday! Steph's boyfriend Ezra had worked with us to surprise her and it turned out great!

Sunday 24th of April: EASTER! We went to an awesome church service and then went and walked around the river and had coffee and chatted. It was very relaxing and a great Easter.

Monday 25th of April: Anzac Day....this is a day when all the cities in Australia shut down and all the people who have served or are serving in the navy, air force, army, march and we celebrate them. It is actually really awesome. Ezra, Steph, Jess and I drove to the Gold Coast and watched a march there and then spent the day on the beach. We stayed the night at some friends house, who were just amazing!

Tuesday 26th of April: We drove up to Mount Tamborine and spent the morning at this coffee place overlooking an amazing view. We were able to feed birds and just spent the morning relaxing. We then drove back to Brisbane had a great prayer time together, played some volleyball and then Jess and I flew back to Sydney.

Steph and me at Mount Tamborine: At our table looking out! :) AMAZING

Wednesday 27th of April: Jess left early for a training she has with work in New Zealand for a week and Ricardo left on the Navy ship for a couple weeks....I started back into work feeling amazingly refreshed and ready to go! :)

Friday 29 of April: We had a national wide prayer day with Campus Crusade in Australia. It was so encouraging to spend the day praying for each other and the nations. Definitely a great day! :)

Now it is the weekend and on Monday I start back up on campus. I am feeling so refreshed and ready to go, so that is awesome! Here are just some prayer requests to keep in mind the next couple weeks:

-I would continue to stay refreshed and passionate about going on and sharing Jesus
- University of Notre Dame: More leaders to step up
-I am currently looking into options for next year and need to decide in a couple months...that i would know where God is calling me.

So yeah I think those are the main things. Sorry I haven't been keeping up to date on this blog. I will try to be better! :)
