Much To Do About School

Thing have been hectic the last week, more so than normal. I've been trying to finish up the remaining paperwork and to get the visa and flight sorted out. I am now down to one bit of paperwork left: the arrival information. Yesterday saw the flight booked, and the acceptance of place sent off and the day before the visa application which was approved in minutes. God is bringing this all together so fast I don't know how I can be so calm. I feel like I should be freaking out, especially with the anxiety disorder (which is fortunately dormant). However I'm not. It's awesome and crazy, which is how I like things to be.

I think about the school, what I will learn and what I can do with it after, and I hear/read the news. I remember something a house church friend said to me: I should make documentaries. So as I see so any biased opinions that will not take other positions into consideration because the other person is wrong it makes me angry knowing there are two sides to the stories and in the middle is the truth. It makes me want to expose that truth, and the truth as both sides see it. I still want to make awesome fictional films, I love a good story. I also know that as much as documentaries can be slanted to the filmmakers view, which isn't always neutral. I keep thinking a good documentarian puts their opinions aside to show how things really are. These are things I'm going to be musing on over the next few months as well as updates on life in Oz.

Prayer requests:
Money to pay off the flight
Money to cover Oz needs
Work changes their mind and gives me an LOA as opposed to my quitting
NZ visit if possible (I miss my friends, yes it's a tad selfish, if it's not meant to be then so be it. We'll survive.)

Ch-ch-changes and Dreams Come True.

Well, it's been a long time and thank God I'm still alive. I was just going to start another fb page then I remembered about this. I'll try to link it to my fb. So updates. As I said I survived the last big low 4 years ago (yay!) and as of next month I am going to Australia for a film school with YWAM. :D I'm super excited for this and to finally learn the technical aspects of making a movie. It's been a whirlwind two weeks leading up to this, but it is all God. Knowing it is all Him and not having money for the visa or airfare, or living expenses for that matter, I know that money will come in. It has before. When I was in house church at girls night someone (I don't remember who) said that Jacob worked 7 years for Leah and another 7 years to see the dream fulfilled. I worked at the senior's home for 7 years to the day (yes, I made my last day that day specifically and symbolically). It has been another 8 years since then, however I lost a year to my last mental illness relapse. So it has been 7 years of working again to get to the dream fulfilled. If that isn't God then I don't know what is. ;) In the mean time if anyone/everyone could pray for the $5000 needed for visa, airfare, and living expenses in Australia to come in that would be great. I'm going to set up a way to donate via paypal if anyone feels led to help out. So exciting and so much to do I had better be off. Blessings and much love.
