A few highlights will add more soon.

A lots happened for me in the last couple of weeks in Melbourne I'm now into my third week and learning so much about my self as well as having a really great time... 

Heres a view highlights: 

st Kilda for a walk arriving on the beach with a beautiful sunset and some cute penguins 

Victoria street markets, which was great fun lots of fruit and veg, lots of other things to.. 


This is Sale. I was offered me a lovely place to stay while I found a job.  I helped around the house and helped look after her son. I saw some cool birds and animals and saw the Victorian countryside. 

Met my new Italian Friends 
Stefania and Giofrancio (hope this is spelt right) 


During those weeks I took trips into Melbourne for a interview and to explore the city some more. In that week I met a lovely family whom were looking for a nanny and they loved me so much that they gave me the job. 

I moved on the Friday into balwyn North house sitting until they get back from there summer holidays.

I spent a view days hanging on with my Italian friends enjoying Melbourne together. 




Spent Christmas Day together 

Since Christmas I've been enjoy being on my own enjoying trips into Melbourne and meet new fab people... I went to a Methodist Church on Sunday this week and made lots of new friends looking forward to the next part of the adventure.. Stay tuned..

Faith... To my friends and Family home just to say I'm joyful

I've had a few moments of self doubt lately I suppose it's partly because cercumstance it's nice to know Not only do my parents, friends and family back home believe in me but the creator of the universe believes in me too. Need to pinch myself a second did I just say that. I suppose it's largely to do with the fact that because to many people in my life try to box me in and Suss me out when really unless you've known me for a long long time I don't think you really know what I'm capable of doing. Aka getting out here for one thing.. How often do we feel like being curled up into a big bubble that we can't let anyone really know who we are because if we do it's the end of life we know it. Enough of that ramble time to get down to what I really wanted to say.. 

I been pondering for a while what the heck am I doing here then the switch flipped actually considering how long I've been here and what challenges I had to face like I wanted to travel oz so why am I moaning so much about having to move again this time I'm excited I didn't really feel like coming to cairns in the first place where I really wanted to go since day one was Melbourne and now I am. But what clicked was actually I can do anything i don't need people to push me on anymore so many times in my life have I lived around a large amount of people telling me I can't, I will never amount to anything, etc.. But actually I can, a lot of jobs ask for a i can do.. Attitude well I've got that now... But can do comes through not my own strength but God so I feel that I'm traveling on my own because I need to keep this can do attitude so once told me I believe in you and so does Jesus well matter of a fact the idea that God believes me kicks but.. Even better that you lot at home believe in me... Okay I've been tired a lot lately and missing home but I love the idea that actually that in those times I've felt Gods love surrounding me. Truth is I'm fighting my battle with God and What comes to mind that maybe I'm forgetting to put on my armor and stop listening to lies and live in the truth I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. I'm saying my prayers and I'm believe that whatever lies ahead it's for the good.. 





There's a song called I'm walking away from the troubles in my life I think possible Simon Webb from blue sung it I can't remember or maybe Craig David not a clue... But I'm living in the now and not looking a hindsight as my mum said to me the other day.. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. 

So here's me believing in God, myself and what truths there are and I'm traveling not on my own but in the foot steps of my God!!!! 

Miss you All... Love you All..

What am I living for...

EIt's been two and half months now since I've left England. I constantly wonder what if I wasn't here a lot at the moment. I suppose I'm not sure but I'm here so I'll just try to live in the moments of everyday. I've not had much chance to explore but I really need to save up and I hope I can very soon. First thing to do would have to be the Great Barrier Reef hands down. Maybe taking a leep of faith and bungee jumping. Time will tell... I'm looking forward to the adventures to come but for now I'm in Innisfail up north of Queensland near Carins all is good it's a quiet town not much to do I'm staying in a hostel with 14 people two girls and myself the rest are boys, There a great group pretty lively. Mostly since I've been here I've worked at a coffee shop in the town as well as cleaning the hostel. Though last week I worked sorting bananas on a farm which I really enjoyed however I'm not needed this week so I won't be working there. However they may decide they need me again, it does make saving up money difficult. I've had a chance to go to the local catholic church last weekend which was a experience itself I'm not sure I like a service following liturgy however I found the preach great talking about Kingdom principles. I had a lovely walk around the town a couple of weeks ago it was very stuffy and hot but it was nice to see some of the town. 

I download the new Soul Survivor album yesterday which Im really enjoying listening to it's got some fab songs with great lyrics that have really reminded me of where my strength needs to come from. Despite the battles I have with my mind at the moments some where in there I believe that things happen for a reason to change us and enhance our knowledge in knowing our strengths and weakness. I know that I can't rely on my own strength half the time. I feel that wherever I am I have something to hold onto the I'm trying not to have regrets and just leap as far as I can. 

I'm missing home so much at the moment but I think that's because it's getting so close to Christmas time that I feel far away from home and what's to come. 

Anyways that's all for now 

Ill blog soon... 

Love Rosie xx

Oz sights

Headspace

Is weird how we worry about so much in our life time and how so much can get clogged up in our brains and get us stressed out and worried... I've personally had enough of it.. So I made a packed with myself that I wouldn't let worries get the best of me. Seeing how that panned out was fun.. Still wondering how I swear there's a switch in my brain I wish I could turn of the worries. But some how my grip on the cross has help a bit yes I'm being Christian again.. But in my head now im starting to make me own way in what I believe it nice. I went to a well little church service this Sunday in Brisbane it was really lovely the church itself looked so out of place in the city around it. The service was really lovely as in was a adult and infant baptism/ confirmation not quiet sure... But it was great to be part of this families special occasion. They begun the service talking about heaven I didn't know where she was going in her talk but it was nice to just rest and focus on God for more than I have been lately. 

But why you worrying your thinking? Well a couple of weeks ago I was told that I would have to leave my job in narrabri and move onto Brisbane at first I was like huh okay then I suppose I delt with it thinking well maybe Gods plan is that he doesn't want me to feel icelated I didn't really know... So I left it.. It was sad leaving the lovely family I was living with but I was also excited for the next part of my adventure ahead. 

I arrived in Brisbane Friday and found out today Tuesday that I was being flying upto to carins tonight in Queensland. I'm staying for one night in Carins and then going onto a town called Innisfail I'm staying in a hotel called crowns hotel.  This hotel is also the place I will be working which means cleaning and hopefully bar work. But also I will be working in a cafe too. Hopefully also some work for my visa.

Beautiful moments



Seems we can't really predict where we will be in our life time and when were gonna be alive for that moment in time whether we good enough or strong enough to deal with the split second changes in our day to day life. We can glimpse a moment of happiness but whether in the time we will remember what we were turely happy about. I often find myself wondering how can something so small be so wonderful and how can something so big be just as wonderful. I'm thinking about the moments that we've captured as we've spend time with a friend or family member or the times that we've seen something amazing and out there. The amount of times I've seen something and gone wow to myself. Like is completely impossible I find to turely capture a moment or a scence and turely take in the whole thing in one image. I remember saying anyone can have a believe in something but whether they experience that moment that believe themself they won't turely know the experice unless theve experienced it for themselves. Take the stars for example I've seen the amazing ness of it all and tired to take a picture but still not be able to capture the stars in all there glory. Maybe all we need to do is believe e that what we experience can't be argued or challenged because it's out experience whether someone believes or not we've still expericed it in our own way. 

Maybe a moment we've seen know turely knows what it actually feels like experiencing that moment that memory that event. Maybe all we've got to do is live in that moment and try and try not to forget. It's like we've need for a while just to take a mental picture and believe in the relatity of the moment.
