It is an understatement to say that what I’ve experienced thus far is more than I could have hoped.  While I can’t say I’m absolutely in love with Australia itself quite yet, I am beyond blessed to be learning within the context of Hillsong Church. It is an environment that gives life to everyone who enters it, based, of course, on the life-giving nature of Jesus himself. The words of everyone who holds a microphone are dripping with wisdom, passion and inspiration. I am constantly learning, growing and being challenged. God is showing me much about myself that needs to be changed, sculpted and refined and even more about His incredible character and truth that needs to be adopted. It has been a rigorous yet beautiful journey.  I feel overwhelmed by the plethora of information and life-changing perspectives that have been shared with me in the last month. I find myself needing more time and space to further process everything; to be sure to squeeze every bit of growth possible from this experience. I realized that this would be the perfect space to process what God is teaching me, in hopes that you might catch a glimpse of what God is doing in my heart and that you might be inspired to grow with me.
