Freedom

The first thing I want to say about the whole trip is the absolute freedom I had to be ME. And I think and hope that the people that joined the group during our travels had the same freedom.

For me, it was so good to be able to be and to do what I felt the Lord lead me to do. As for myself I find that I seem to follow more the expectations that others have on me, also maybe their perceived expectations of me. So to have this liberty was just great.

Now it is being challenged back here in Australia. I went to my home church straight after landing in Australia and it was hard to see that people were at a different place then I was. So I was faced with either feeling guilty that I wasn't at the same place as people in my church were or to start judging them for not being where I was.

So it was good to be able to see the battle for what it was. An attempt to get me to fall back into old ways and to not be living in peace with who I am and where God is taking me. So I was able to choose to rejoice at where I was with the Lord and to bless those in my church who were in a different place!

Ooops I did it again

Ok ok Laura, I get the point!! Again I start the journey but don't seem to complete it. I had wanted to make regular updates on my blog during my trip to the North. But still found it hard to get on line, I think I am going to follow Jan Inge's example (scary I know) and serious look into getting myself a Notebook. So I can access the net easier while I travel, especially if things go the way as I think they are going to go. Meaning more travelling around Australia this time instead of the Northern countries.
But now instead of raw writings of the events you get to read the more processed thoughts, or correctly you get to read through me trying to process all that happened while I was in the north. That is if anyone is reading this blog! I would have thought that I have frustrated everyone away by now!
