…a brief glance…

I have been home for about 5 days now…reality has not fully hit just yet. But tonight it began to, actually today, but then again it was bound to hit eventually.

My last day in London is a bit of a blur. There was panic over my last pay check, doing last minute errands, and oh yeah saying my farewells. Thankfully I was over tired to get too emotional.

My first days here consisted of family gatherings and catch up with friends. In between all that sleep I was trying to squeeze in. It?s been nice to see everyone, and just hang out. Admittedly I do miss the chaotic schedule I held only a week ago, and the people I did day to day life with. I miss the fact that I loved in London. After awhile you take for granted the fact that you get to ride the double-decker red bus passing the London landmarks?never again I swear. As much as I love the open space, and FRESH AIR, I find myself pining for that Smog filled, over crowded London! What can I say, it was home!

Today I caught the train to Parramatta, my old stomping grounds for my job interview, which went seemingly well, though the thing that may work against me is that when they asked me where I saw myself career wise in a few years down the line, I told them the truth?. My passion for kids and what my plans were?.oh well. God?s will be done! Totally trust him in where this may take me. After all, this job may hold open other avenues I haven?t even thought of. One of the guys that interviewed me was like an old boss of mine, but only for a little while before he moved to another company. He didn?t remember me, but after 5 minutes, you could tell he was batting for my team. Bless him.

Tonight I went to the Sydney Conference Night Rally. In complete honesty I felt I truly needed to be there. There was such a pull for me. Maybe because I was starting to get more and more London-sick. As Praise and Worship started and the camera panned to the familiar face of Peter Wilson, my eyes began to well up. I just started crying. For the first time, it felt real. I really was back I Sydney. Though it?s not forever, a brand new season awaits me, and though I am excited for it, I can?t help but miss what was such a huge part of my life for almost two years. Tonight I made the decision to go to Hillsong, and make it home. It?s not for re-creating what I had in London, but seeking a little familiarity. Now just have to work on the means of getting there and all that, but God will provide.

Tomorrow I?m going to visit the hair guy that?s been cutting my hair since I was 12 and getting him to CHOP my hair. Can?t wait! More to see him than anything else. He?s such a blast.

Anyways, must go. Love lots?

PS ? Crystal, it?s only after midnight. It?s not that late yet! =)
