Dear friends and family,
When God is no where in sight, you can't see him or hear his words, Look behind you - the shepperd does not lead from the front of his fliock, but he stands as a presence behind them, watch over them - with eyes to see the enemies which are in the distance. If you can't see God in front of you, take a quick stop to check over your shoulder.
Friends, I write you out of peace, praise God that I'ev found some sort of peace in my heart. This whole time, I've known that I am to be here, and this is good - but its not easy, and its still not, but I have found this small tiny bit of peace this morning. Just sitting on the couch, feeling the warm air through my window.
Things are going well so far. I am living in an apartment complex (mainly occupied by students) called Rosa Crest, located in Castle Hill, NSW. I am about one hour walking distance from the church, so I sort of wish I was closer - but I've made some friends and we're going to try and figure out how to do this together. I've met a few good friends, which is so good. That was the hardest part for me, not having friends like I had back home, and still - no one will replace those boys, and couple girls - they mean a lot to me!! But to have some people who are in the same situation as you, its comforting. Anyways, we're talking about buying a cheap cheap car just for driving to school, I've found some for dirt ceap, so who knows? It would be cheaper then riding the bus everyday.
Its really crazy here, in a good way. I went to powerhouse and just one of the normal church services the other morning, and its so powerful. Gods really been stiring my heart, which is good, I've been waiting so long for that. I just don't know why it had to wait until now, but I guess God sort of knows what he is doing right? I know he knows what he is doing.
I've finally got sort of settled in to my place. It is a decent sized apartment, and currently there are two other guys who live here - I have not met them yet though, they're both still away on summer break. So it will benice to finally have some other people around here, we also might get one more guy in our room, I would be fine with that as well.
I could talk for hours and hours about everything, and I will, eventually lol.
But for now, I just ask that you keep me in your prayers as I sort out my banking and continue to figure out how life works here.
Thank you all so much for your prayers, they mean so much to me.
Blessings!

Hey Zach. Its so good to hear you are doing well. Give yourself time with the details it will all come together. And you will get used to living in this new strange and wonderful place. And if you ever get the chance enjoy some fresh fruit salad for me...when I was in Sydney every morning before we caught the train to the University we would go to this little vendor and buy a containor of fresh fruit salad. It was amazing. Thinking of you and praying for you~ Kelsie, Tim & baby!
heu\y..
I thought that I might send some comments you to.
:D
But now... I'm at a lost for words.
Thanks for the coffee mug.. it comes handy when I want a hot beverage, especially a quad tall with room americano.
I know you're having a super time.
Keep the good times rolling and I would hope that I can see you soon.
When ever that would be.
I'm just sitting doing some homework... thought I would take a break look at your blog.
Just sitting around - yours truly
