In which I start Bible college

So I know I've been pretty quiet for the last month or two. I've been waiting until I could officially announce that I've been accepted into Hillsong International Leadership College!

After going to some of Steve's classes and seeing what life is like here at Hillsong, I decided that I wanted to be a part of it. So I'll be studying Church Ministry, which is general church ministry. Hillsong is a vocational school, which means that it teaches practical skills and assesses us on our competency or not yet competency to do a job, rather then giving a grade. Also, practical experience is a big part of the studies, so its a lot like an intership program in that way.

Classes start tomorrow, with two weeks of "intensives", during which our teamwork class will occur, as well as introductions to our other classes. Steve and I will have some of the same classes once they begin.

Since the last time I blogged, I've been working a lot. I quite like my job, and its been great to have so many hours and be able to save up some money before classes start. I've also been moving around a lot, staying with lots of different, wonderful girls, as it took a while for the paperwork to go through so I could move into college accomodation. After living out of my suitcase for almost two months, it is so amazing to have my own room and my own bed and to be able to spread out. Having my own space is something I won't take for granted for a long time after this. My flat is a two bedroom, two bath, that I am sharing with 3 other girls. Its in a really nice area, and close to my job and the church.

So thats whats been going on with me! Working, living life, meeting new people, spending time with Steve.
