Victoria's worst bushfires on record. All of Australia is trying to come together and support these families. The disaster killed 181 people according the last official count and it is estimated that more than 1800 homes have been destroyed.
I know we are such visual people, so here is a "Victoria Fire Tribute" from youtube:

Regarding my plans...
I met a lady at church a few weeks ago who runs the "Eagles Wings Foundation" in Victoria (founded in 2003). She offered me the opportunity to come check out the program and see if I want to get involved on staff. So in about a week I'm planning to head over to Wodonga (near Albury) in Victoria.
Some stuff about it:
Christian program
for woman ages 16 and up
9-12 month residential recovery program
for woman who are struggling with a life-controlling problem such as addiction, severe depression, an eating disorder or any form of long-term emotional turmoil
whatever happens, i'm just glad to be moving on from Mollymook and checking out other options. thanks for your encouragement, thoughts and prayers.
love,
julie

Julie--I almost forgot about your blog (sorry!) That's us up there in your picture, how cute! I'm glad to hear that you've got some things worked out and will be praying that God will lead you exactly where He wants you. I miss you, friend!
