Introducing me...

Hello dear!
Many already know me, but I am a student here in Australia and responsible for talking a little about how the experience is going here! Any questions or comments, please comment right here on the blog and / or leave a message with the email to contact me!

Good, but here go the news ... hehe I was enjoying a time of "break" from college, we had a 3-week "vacation" and now this Tuesday restart, 4 more weeks holiday and then it is really holidays ... whew ... but at the same time gives me a heartache because I think it has already gone the first half of this wonderful experience ... and that I'll just have 6 months left ... but as I can not give up thinking that it will end, I wanna enjoy sooooo much these 8 months left that actually I have ... and that is God's perfect timing! I do not want to think in our memories and the memories that I'm gonna leave in this place! Especially because there will be a lot!

How much I love this place! People and moments that I loved to know and live! There are pictures in them and super special moments ... there was an event last month called Big Exo Day, I was volunteering for the college I'm studying here (Alphacrucis)! It was a great experience, seeing many young people here to receive Christ! But these days .. what God has spoken to me through the experiences I'm having here is on obedience and surrender!

These are things that have no way to escape, there will come a time where God will test our response to what He shows us and tells us, and sometimes also things and people that we have learned to love too! But it never comes to our evil, it hurts in the beginning or it appears to be what we want to be. Our desire is to submit to it, and in the future we'll know why!!

The verse I wanted to share is what God spoke to me: Hosea 2:14-16 (New International Version)
14 "Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her.
15 There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will sing as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
16 "In that day," declares the LORD, "you will call me 'my husband'; you will no longer call me 'my master.

I meant that God is doing wonderful things even when I'm in a desert! God is opening a door of hope for me and my little problems will see that I have a great God!
I like a phrase that says "The desert is not my destiny, even if I am going through it." I'm so missing all of Brazil, but I am following the direction God gave me to come here, I ask you to pray for my lessons, which is now finishing the semester, some of my friends will graduate, and will be missed ... and also how the end of term assessments are more complicated and I need the wisdom to manage to do them in English and well ... hehe

In this meanwhile, I'm joining the church of Brazilians here and I am joining the worship team, longing to sing and serve the Lord more with my voice, as I was singing just in college in those 3 months I'm here! God bless y'all a loooot!!! Miss you all!! Love you all!! Kisses!!! Vivi.
