Making A Home

So, this morning I woke up around seven o'clock again, which is nice because everyone else is still asleep. I usually get up, make some coffee and sit in my hammock on the back patio. It's quite pleasant. There isn't much noise other than the birds singing. (They do seem to start singing a bit earlier in the mornings than American birds. =D) So mornings have been my favorite time of day so far, they're just so peaceful, and peace is something I cherish! Anyways, after coffee and talking to Clark and the family, I walked down to the shopping center across from campus (it's about a 30 minute walk), and I set up my Australian bank account. After that, I took the bus to Rouse Hill-a rather large shopping mall- where I had lunch with a couple girls from South Africa, whom I had met at the bus stop a half an hour before! It was fun. Then I went and bought a pre-paid phone, for emergencies and contacting my housemates. After getting that set up, I went and bought a 12-month plan for mobile broadband, so that I can have wireless internet wherever I go. :) I also bought a few more essentials like: hand soap, washcloths, coffee creamer (yes, that's an essential.), and sunscreen. I then took a bus, to another bus stop, in order to catch the bus that took me back home. Home. Yep, my home here in Glenwood. **Speaking of which, here's my address if anyone's interested: 3/3 Cavalry Grove, Glenwood, NSW 2768 Australia.** So, I'm sitting here at my dining room table, feeling the breeze through my screen door, listening to my washer gurgle, and knowing that this is home. More than that, Jesus is my home. So, please don't worry about me, I'm right where I should be--Home.

I love you, Lord. :)
