You make me come alive!

I'm honesty flabbergasted right now that I'm sitting on a plane home to Oregon. The last 3 weeks in Australia seem like a complete blur. We had a week of lectures about the inner workings of music in reguards to touring and all the different pieces an roles that go into that. Which was super fascinating and really opened our eyes as a school the different music opportunities that are out there.

The week after that was a complete whirlwind! We were completely blessed by the city of toowoomba this week. Everyday we hit the city by storm volunteering and loving on people. We busked on street corners, worked in schools and church's, served in soup kitchens, played shows in cafés and so much more. It was amazing! The city truly came alive. Also during this time we were able to go into a recording studio! Each student had the opportunity to go and record an original song that would be put onto an album for our school. I recorded a song called Lights that was inspired by the redlight district and the injustice I saw there while in Cambodia. I'm so so excited to get these recordings that my fellow students worked so hard on and be able to have a piece of them with me.

The last week on base we talked about reintegrating back into our homes and how to apply the things we had learned as a school. One of my favorite things we did as a school was morning worship!

Where did the last 5.5months go? How did these 50 strangers suddenly become my closest friends and family? My heart has been changed by each and everyone of these people and I'll never be the same. I'm in love with the unknown and listening to Gods voice for direction. I'm ruined for the ordinary and I'm not going back to the girl who left. Guys I'm so excited for the new adventures that are coming! I will do an update in a few weeks once things are more finalized. It's a new season ❤️

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me this far!!
