Trust
The Sunday before I left, at the end of the morning service, John got everyone to really listen to God; believing that he had a word for each one of us in that place. The word God had for me was 'trust'. At first I was a bit like that's a bit boring God and why??? But then I listened some more and God said 'Do you trust me?' So I was like yeah of course I do. But then it hit me, if I really trust God then there are implications. As I prepare to leave Hong Kong again do I trust that God has an amazing plan for my life? Am I prepared to give him my future and trust him with it? Am I prepared to trust God with my dreams? Now those are slightly more difficult questions to answer. I honestly believe that I will be returning to Hong Kong next year ... now I'm working on giving this 100% to God. I believe that this is a God given dream of mine so it should be easy to trust God with but I'm finding it can be hard to let go of some things. It's a trust that can't be taken lightly.
That said I am still filling in all my application forms to Hong Kong Schools, and I keep getting confirmation after confirmation that moving to Hong Kong is, well, the right thing.
Right now though I have just got details of the schools I will be doing my training in next year, and I'm getting really excited about that. I can't wait to get into a school and start. I still can't get my head around it ... me, a teacher, going to Cambridge .... how did it all happen???
I guess it's the proof I needed that God DOES have an amazing plan for my life ... and this is just the beginning. How crazy is that!!!!

Yay, you had a good trip - so happy for you, you got to be in your fave place!
It's so weird cos what you said in your last post is exactly what I have been working through the last few days - guess that shows how strong the twin connection is, hahahaha!!! I realised on Thursday randomly, as I was walking through the streets of Bristol, that I've been trying to make my own plans for next year - saying yeah, I love Brum, I reckon I'll be back in a year, etc... But actually, I don't know yet if that's what God wants for me! It's slightly different to your situation cos I guess you sort of already know what God is wanting you to do, whereas I really don't, it's all Emma thinking and wanting at the mo! But it's cool that we still have our whole Emma/Jemma twin thing goin on. We rock.
Will send you a proper e mail soon lovely! Have fun rediscovering your Corrrrrnish roots. Arrr!
Hugs n prayers,
