Lovin' Aussie

Things have been awesome lately. Mel and I took the train to a really cute place called Williamstown and then to the city. Williamstown was really cute and we walked along the waterfront that looks out to the big city. It was fun walking around all of the cute homes and neighborhoods. It was GORGEOUS here so it was an absolutely perfect day to do all of this! The city was really cool as well. We walked along the little river that runs through the city Oh and we went into this Cathedral that was really really beautiful. It was called St. Paul's Cathedral. I guess thanks to Andy and all of those year of choir tours...visiting all of the different cathedrals in San Fran and other places made me appreciate them and their beauty so much :). So it is official....me, Melody and two of our friends (Erin and Amy) are road tripping it to Sydney!!! I am SO excited!! We are planning to go about mid-November and hopefully stay with some missionaries that live in the suburbs for about 3 days and then stay right in Sydney in a youth house for about 4 days....hopefully. Nothing is for sure yet except for the fact that we are going! November is actually going to be a pretty busy month for us in the Loftis household. I'm stoked :)
God just continues to amaze me...I've been wanting and praying that I would be able to have a good conversation with JoyLee because she is the only sibling that I haven't really been able to talk to (that live in the house). So this morning I wasn't really sure if I was supposed to go to the office again but I assumed that I was supposed to and so I got up earlier than I normally would have. Well it turns out that Pastor Tim normally takes most of Monday off (at least most of the morning). I wasn't upset or anything but as I was waiting to leave JoyLee comes down and explains all of this to me and we end up having a cup of tea together and talking for quite a bit...it was really really great and our conversation was just awesome. So I've been thanking God for that. He is just awesome. Well I know that I have to go to the office tomorrow so I better go get ready for bed. Please pray that all of the Sydney details will fall into place fairly soon......Love and miss you all!!

There are a few new pics

The pictures are wonderful! The pipes in the cathedral are so beautiful...the house in Williamstown is so lovely...and of course, you and Mel were absolutely adorable! PRAISE THE LORD for His sweetness, His goodness, His faithfulness. He truly cares about all the little desires of our hearts! I am rejoicing with you that the Sydney trip is going to happen! I will be praying for His continued direction and protection...a youth house...hmmmmm....what's that like? An encouragement to me in these days..."Security is our nearness to God NOT our distance from danger." You are in the living, loving hands of your heavenly Father and that's the best reassurance of all!! Your deepening relationship with Him thrills my heart! Rejoice and give thanks!
I LOVE YOU!
