Yep- Feel the excitement!!!! Feel the nervousness!!! I am almost done with uni forever!:) oh WOW! It has been a journey. But, I am not done yet- so reflection about that can be later.
Instead, I will jump ahead and think of all the things I can do in the holidays:
1. Learn Bass Guitar (a friend lent me her bass like MONTHS ago and I still haven’t done much with it!)
2. Learn to surf:) (i need some help with this, Kendal and Josh??:))
3. Go to beach- okay, links to number 2, but anyways:). I have really, really missed the beach! I miss living down the road for it and jogging along it and seeing dolphins and swimming in it! sigh…
4. Visit family and a good friend in Brisbane
5. Visit a good friend, Sandra, at the Gold Coast:)
6. Do pilates more regularly
7. Get back into running
8. Learn to skateboard
9. Go to CMS, Qld in January- would LOVE to!:)
10. spend more time with friends- and catch up with those I haven’t caught up with IN AGES!
11. read the John Piper book Kendal bought me years ago:) (Future Grace one) and other theological books sitting on the bookshelf.
12. Pray more; spend more time in God’s Word.
Okay, so the above are all the fun things I want to do:)! The list below is all the things I should do: work, clean, tidy up yard, wash cars.
What have I been up to lately?
- I just finished my last prac ever! And, it was the best one ever, too! I’m hoping to get a job at this place. But, if I don’t – that’s okay. God knows where He wants me,I got to trust and lean on Him. I don’t want to set my hopes too much on something I may not get. May my hope be only in Him.
- hanging out with my home group friends:) Wow! God has blessed me this year with such a lovely group of friends to share with, laugh with, talk about God with, share struggles with! 2 weekends ago we went to MaidenWell and then to a park between Oakey and Cooyar. It had a train tunnel which we walked through! It was a bit scary! There were bats above us! We could not see where we were walking. All we could see was the light at the end of the tunnel! literally.
I so wouldn’t go through that tunnel by myself or even with the girls- someone could’ve been lurking in there! I made a little poem about it that night: “tunnels and bats and gates that creak,
best be careful that I do not squeak.” 
- I think I shall pray about whether I should be involved in any church ministry next year. Karl and I took a year off any official type of ministry this year, and I definitely DON’T regret it! Even though we may have felt pressured by people to do some sort of recognised church ministry, we didn’t. I am so glad. We needed this year off. We’ve been able to develop good friendships and get better physically (we got sick a lot in our first 2 years of marriage).
Well, I’m procrastinating. I have three assignments to go. Finished and submitted one in yesterday, 2 more due this week. Better get one done today.
