Holiday!

Hello to everyone! :)

So, today I seriously had a really encouraging day with Jesus. I was reading the Bible and just learned so much! I realized that God is loving us and blessing us each and every day, but sometimes I just don't notice it and I just realized that I need to look to God each day and just look to see how He is pouring His love out. So today I asked God to show me His love and so many cool things happened!!!

First, a friend gave me 5 dollars just to go out and spoil myself with a coffee and it was just so from God. I don't know how to explain it, I just felt like God was just blessing me in this little way. And then I just had a really good chat to one of my friends here! She is visiting this weekend and we just talked about life and realized so much about God through this conversation!

We were talking about just persevering when times get tough and she was just saying to me that God is looking down on us when times are tough and just thinking, "Man, Erin just you wait....just you wait because I am going to use this struggle or this lesson for something so much bigger in your future that you can not even imagine." It was just so cool to look at every season in your life almost as a prep for something greater to come. So when we are learning or getting pruned or when life hurts a little bit, not dwelling on that, but realizing that you are actually being grown by God and He will use that time and that lesson and that hardship for something so amazing!

I don't know if that makes sense, but it was just so cool! I feel like God just filled me with so much joy and peace and just His love today it was absolutely incredible!!! :) So yeah, I just thought I would share that day with you! :)

But I also wanted to say that I am actually getting to go on holiday this next week! I am sooo excited to take a week off and be able to go away and just come back feeling so refreshed and ready to hit the pavement running! :) So yeah, my mom and sister and in town this next week and I am going to be able to show them around Sydney, which will be so much fun! :)

But I just wanted to let you know that I will be away from my computer and work for the next 10 days and would just love your prayer for refreshment in the Lord and that I would have an amazing time with my family! :)

Thanks again to you all...it means so much to me to be able to do ministry with you here in Australia! :)

Please let me know how I can be praying for you personally, or just share a crazy story with me! :)

Alright, many blessings to each one of you! :)
