Election Time

Election Reminder

As this time of year approaches, there is often a lot of tension that comes from the presidential debates, television ads, and the campaigning in general that goes on. But, as I was reminded by Annie from What She Saw, we have to remember that ultimately, God is in control no matter what happens. I think we tend to forget this when we get so worked up over who is going to win. As Christians, we have an assurance that no matter what happens, He is in control and He already knows the outcome.

 In God of This City, Chris Tomlin sings: 

You're the Lord of this nation,

the King of these people, 

the Light in this darkness,  

                              and the Hope to the hopeless.

As we go into this election tomorrow, these are words to remember and reflect on. We have so much to be thankful already- that we are a nation with freedom of religion and speech; a privilege that many countries around the world do not have.

Weekend Fun

Apologies for the lack of posting in the past few days. This weekend was a bit busy with the Annual College Ball on Friday night, the beach on Saturday, and soccer games on Sunday. For starters, the ball was wonderful :) Every year the college that I live at hosts a formal ball usually overlooking the Sydney Harbour. This year, some of the highlights were the delicious cocktails and food, as well as the photograph area where professional pictures were taken. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous in their dresses and the boys looked quite handsome in their tuxes. Needless to say, it was a smooth and fun filled evening- success! 

And guess what?? Summer is coming!! I'm super excited for beach days and shorts and beautiful summer sunsets. It's a strange feeling knowing that everyone at home is getting ready for wearing scarves, boots, and watching the leaves change colors, but I'm really starting to get over the windy, cool weather here in Sydney. I'm ready to take the ferry to Manly, and maybe even daringly take a swim in the ocean (if only I was good at surfing). 

What are you most excited for in SUMMER??
