so i've been really wanting to try to drive here. in Australia, they drive on the opposite side of the road and the driver sits in the passenger seat!! also, most of the cars here are stick shift. but, i don't know how to drive stick shift, so there was no way i could drive. however, Carly told me that she had an automatic and that she would let me try driving!!! so friday night after dinner, she let me drive around the neighborhood! haha it was so exciting!! it was strange to be on the wrong side of the road, but it was STRANGER to be driving in the PASSENGER seat. but it was fun!! next time i'm going to drive on an actual road... haha! its going to be amazing.
saturday we all went to Currumbin Beach, which is the beautiful beach that mostly locals go to. shae and i layed out while everyone else surfed.. haha. i'll try surfing... one day... maybe. haha. but it was fun to just all be together. i love living with everyone!
this week we are learning about intimacy with God and hearing his voice. we've had one lecture this morning (its 3:30pm on Monday) and so far... its been amazing. i can't express enough gratitude to the people who have supported this trip. i am learning so much and having the time of my life!!
its funny how time passes here in the YWAM bubble. one day can feel like five minutes or ten years, but you are just oblivious to it. i seem to be wondering around in this strange mix between time passing and time standing still. its like another dimension that faintly resembles the world i know, but its much deeper... like there is much more to soak in. even when i am doing something like scrubbing the bathroom toilet i am aware of time passing, but i don't really want it to. then in worship, it feels like time is standing still, but then in a moment... its over. its gone... passed on. i wonder what God feels about time and its passing. is he aware of it? he is so outside of time and our ideas of time...
anyway. this is irrelevant. i was just pondering things. i love reading your comments! if you read my blog, please comment! it makes me feel just a little bit closer to home :)
love, grace
