Australia!

We are both here in Australia, and much enjoying our time. Morgan/ Bennie has been here for 6 months now and has been loving it and growing tremendously. Thanks to her I (Brittany) am now here. Her and a couple friends raised my tuition for this year so that I could come for the July semester. God is so awesome isn't He? Just when we think it is not going to happen, He shows up in a huge way. And you know what? He has been working all along...we just don't see everything. We need to trust that He hears us when we call on Him and that He is working on our behalf in spite of what we see or feel.
So we are back together!! God is incredible. We have been blessed with some awesome housemates and relationships! Each of us have our own unique journey, but are extremely blessed to be doing life together. I went to a Hillsong church service for my first time this past Sunday, and that is when it really hit home that I am actually here. My dream is coming to pass...something that has been in my heart for years and years. And I am here entirely in His strength and not on my own, which is comforting to know because I cannot do this without Him.
We will be doing are best to keep you all up to date on what is happening; it is going to be awesome. As of now I am still getting used to the huge time change! But it has been great so far, I am super excited for school to start in the next couple weeks. Also Hillsong Leadership conference is coming up this next week! Lots of exciting things happening, so make sure to keep checking in :)

So it has been a while since we have posted anything; we will soon be giving you the updates on Australia!!
Psalms 100:4 talks about entering into His gates with thanksgiving; and going into His courts with praise.

This is the key to entering into the throne room of God. Thankfulness is the gateway into His courts. Why? because He is more than worthy of our thanksgiving and praise. So today let's take a step back from all the worries and the things that may not be going right and start to thank God for what we do have. God does not respond to complaining and grumbling; He responds to a thankful heart; if you are not able to give thanks now, you won't give thanks when everything is good either. It is a habit, a small thing that we continually remind our selves to do because it brings glory to God. I believe that as we begin to be thankful our eyes will be opened to all that we truly do have to be thankful for...the list is unending.
