After initial shock and some bouts of tears this week, today I sit here and laugh. My word! What a journey I'm on! Life is crazy but, gloriously, God is good. I shall continue to trust that truth.
Never would I have imagined being on such an adventure as this. Yet here I am--about to make my 6th move and end my 4th job in the space of 12 months. After my last job ended I had a another month of unemployment followed by a month of adjusting to my new job whilst a totally awesome friend of mine shared his home with me. Last week I signed a lease to share a house in the lower north shore of Sydney. Between then and starting work this week, life has changed for this new work family and I was given notice on Monday morning. Needless to say my emotions have been fluctuating. I'm sure they still will in the coming days and weeks but for this moment I feel peace. I feel as though my spring is approaching after a long dark winter. Just maybe something new is about to begin. I just need to hang on to God, seek Him, trust and follow. For all the intense craziness I feel about my life this week, I have worshiped God my Rock from a deeper place finding peace as I rest in Him. The following lyrics come from a song that has significant meaning in this turbulence.
When Darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all
While this is a challenging time, I wait curiously to see where He leads and what glorious unfolding takes place in my life. I rest contentedly--though at times with difficulty--that my God is ever with me.

You sure have been shuffled around a lot, different jobs and abodes, but hope God leads you to a more stable position soon. We'll keep praying for you. Dad
Thanks dad. I'm hoping to find more stability in Him. But I do also hope my situation stabilises some too.
They say variety is the spice of life... but sometimes something a bit milder is nice! Will be praying for you and knowing that after the storm comes the rainbow...
Actually rainbows come while it is still raining. ;)
Thanks for your prayers.
