Rushin

The last few days have been pretty awesome and since I have to leave in 5 days we are rushing to go and see all of the places I had planned to see! On Wednesday sister and I went to Peel Zoo where we fed all sorts of interesting creatures! Feeding and petting the kangaroos was the ultimate highlight of the visit. They are just so adorable me and plushy!! If I lived here I would definitely want to own one. I felt safer with the kangaroos than I did with the goats!! I also saw emus, Tasmanian devils, koalas, llamas, sheep, goats, peacocks, snakes, parrots, turkeys, deer, and... An albino wallaby!! After we left the zoo sister and I went to explore the area and capture some shots. The surrounding area was so beautiful and tranquil with animals all nestled up in their niches. We had planned to go to the beach later on but the weather did not play out in our favor so we trekked on home instead. Thursday was solely devoted to shopping and coffee drinking; in the evening we had a scrumptious dinner at Kevin's parent's house . Yesterday we went to Kings Park and Botanical Gardens to capture a nice shot of the cityscape. The park was so beautiful with flourishing wildlife everywhere. My favorite was where we walked on a bridge that takes you through the trees and gives you a rather nice view of the city and river. The garden was absolutely stunning- if you're ever on Perth it should definitely be on your must-see list. Overall this week has been great and I am looking forward to this weekends adventures. Today we are going to take a long drive to the outback to check out some sites!! Coming home in 5 days!! Miss you guys!! A shout out to my awesome friends who write me emails and messages on fb- you guys are too sweet!!!!

Judge Not/Love More

Last Sunday's youth sermon was truly convicting. And not just a "yeah, that was important" type of convicting, but really a "wow, I need to change my whole perspective and really hit the root issue here, truly repent and ask God to change my heart in this regard" type of convicting. The whole time I felt as though the sermon had been specially crafted for me- to really get me to analyze my own heart and realize how little I love the people that are truly my brothers and sisters. By nature I love to critique everything- I always thought it would be awesome to have a career where I get to criticize companies or stores and tell them what they are doing wrong. Unfortunately my sinful nature brings this into the way I deal with people. As I was listening to the sermon I realized that judging people was just my default setting. In my own head, to myself, I always concealed this as honest assessment or analyzing- instead of downright, sinful judging. When I would be c

You missed me, I'm flattered

Hello Peasants, multiples of yous have requested an updated blog post- like whyyyyyy tho? Please note the following reasons for which I have stopped blogging: IG stories now keeps all of my highlighted content from my travels I keep a journal for the deep stuff I have become more introverted and am very intentional about spending purposeful time with people that matter to me- basically all of the important people already know what's going on in my life. If you read my blog... well then, lets rethink our friendship But I'll bite, I'll provide a quick update of a few places I have traveled to and a few things I have learned about myself/God/the world/existence/life/people etc., since my last post.  Alrighty, lets dive in - I'll try to keep it brief (skip to the end to go straight to my life learnings.) March 2019- Victoria B.C. Not going to go into detail but we ate a lot of good food and saw a lot of pretty things. I made friends with a Chocolatier a

Sacrifice

Following my church's Bible Reading Plan lead me to read Exodus 35 today and I simply marveled at how the Israeli nation was ready to sacrifice their belongings for God. I understand that there were many of aspects of rebellion during the Exodus but this specific aspect really caused me to think of how the society I live in views sacrifice and saying no to your own desires. I will limit my usage of the word society to be defined as the predominantly Baptist Christian community that I am surrounded by. I didn't realize before just how much we treasure our belongings and our freedom to have the things that we want. Unfortunately I see this translated a lot into the church setting. We do things and wear things and act in a manner that is a spiritual obstacle to our brothers and sisters and don't even give a second thought to it. Things that are not completely characterized as sin are automatically put into the "I'm free in Christ to do this" category and we don&#
