Whoa dudes I'm in Australia. Trippy eh? I'm having a great time, I love it heeeeeee.

I leave for Australia tomorrow!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Oops. I know it's a bad sign when I start to type in the URL for blogger and it doesn't even come up automatically because I haven't been there in so long. Life's been mainly work work work. Unfortunately my job is getting a bit more boring because I'm spending a lot of time at the computer doing data entry. I still get to take a break and do something different every now and then (I was spackling a room the other day) but it's still a lot of time sitting in one spot staring at tiny writing and a computer screen. Ah well, only a couple more days of it until I'm off to Australia. I'm stoked about the trip, but it's still really unreal to me that I'm going. I think at this point I've thought about the trip so much there's really nothing left to think about, so it tends to slide into the back of my mind. I leave in five days. I hope they go fast.

I'm a little stressed about all the loose ends I have to get tied up before I go. Planning and event for the day after I get back, finding subs for worship team, getting as much stuff done at work as possible, trying to figure out what I need to pack, and the like. Maybe it's not so much, but I have a tendency to get worked up over such things. I guess I don't have the anti-stress ability like someone else I know.

Prayer requests: That the next five days would go quickly
Safe travels to Australia
Good times with God before I leave and while I'm there (that's been seriously lacking lately)
Safe travels for my parents who are going to Alaska while I'm gone
That I don't get fined by Australian customs
That I remember to contact the people I need to contact before I leave

Maybe you're getting tired of these "I'm alive" type updates. I am too. You're about to get another one though. Work is cool. This week started off with a bang (tons of fun on Sunday) and has slowly dwindled. It's been an up and down time, but I'm trying to gain back the momentum I had. I'm trying to throw myself back into work again and into the relationships I've started with the Junior Highers. I'm trying to find the passion and desperation that was fueling my walk with the Lord a couple days ago. I realized today what an extremely long week this has been, and there's still a couple more days left to it. I'm stoked that two weeks from now I'll be in Australia hanging out with two awesome friends that I love dearly. I'm totally jealous that these two friends got to see Delirious last night. And right now I'm really wondering why I'm trying to make any sense when I'm dead tired and it's late at night. So I guess I'll just leave it at that. I'm alive and kicking, would appreciate your prayers as always.

Quick update. Things are great, I'm loving life. Had a great afternoon hanging out, talking, praying, and playing whiffle ball with the interns from church. Still stoked about Australia. Will be in the studio recording vocals tomorrow evening, pray for that if you would.

I HAVE TICKETS TO AUSTRALIA SITTING IN MY ROOM! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
