Theres no place like home.
Gods really put it in my heart to stay in Perth. Thats right, Perth. Which is a bit of a shock since I've only been ranting about going back to Hong Kong for the past 2 months or so now.
Hong Kong was awesome, I really loved it there and God only knows how much I want to go back. When I came back to Perth all I could think about was ways I could offload my furniture in order for me to move to HK more easily. I didn't want to get too much stuff or get too involved since, in my mind, I would be leaving soon anyways.
But I've been praying about it and something has become apparent: The reason why I wanted to be in Hong Kong was because I felt Gods presense strong there. Which, when I think about it now, is pretty silly really, because God is everywhere. But God's really opened my eyes to His presence and He wants me planted at Sunset Coast. God wants me to stop chasing Him in places and see I am exactly where I need to be: Perth.
Theres a sense of peace in accepting Gods will for you, and in accepting Gods will for me I am determined to be committed. If God wants me to be in Perth, well then I'm going to be in Perth 100%. I am going to be committed to my church, committed to my leaders and take ownership of it.
I am determined to be planted. And now after all is said and done, Perth is really starting to feel like home.
