Tuesday, December 18th
When we came
to Werribee on Monday, December 10th the job hunting started. We
spent every day at a café that offered free wifi trying to find a fruit picking
job nearby. As the days went we started to get more and more frustrated and old
doubts and fears started to turn up in our minds and made us insecure. We
didn’t understand how we were suppose to go about it all and we didn’t know if
it was a mistake to travel all the way south (cuz there were no jobs around
that we could find). We tried to call different people but nobody answered, but
finally we found something called Harvest Labour Assistance, which is a
government thing where they help people to find farms that need help with their
harvesting. We called them up and thought that now we have finally found the
way. But when they answered we were not so sure. In Victoria there were no jobs
(not in their listings anyway) and the only job they knew of was in South
Australia just on the border to Victoria. We called them up, and left a
message, and decided to call it a day. On Friday I called them up again and
they told me that they were a Hostel that arranged work at different farms.
They had to check if there were any jobs available so I had to wait for them to
call back. Again we felt insecure… But then we had a talk that changed
everything. We had been thinking about what to do and where to go but we
couldn’t figure it out. Then we decided that the way we felt about it all would
not help us to find the right job for us. We simply needed to feel more relaxed
and enjoy life instead of getting caught up in this small drama that we
actually made up out of nothing. We decided that we would go back to Heyfield
to visit our friend Jude and then just go with the flow from there. The next
morning we packed up and went into town again to find Jude’s phone number, and
then, while we were sitting on the café, the guy from the “working hostel”
called me! He said that from Thursday he had work for us over in Penola, South
Australia, and all we needed to do was to get there by Wednesday. We were so
happy! It’s so obvious that when you let go you also let whatever you want into
your experience. We knew this, but I guess sometimes we need a reminder.
Anyway… We decided to go to Heyfield, even though it’s not on the way to South
Australia. The time we spent with Jude was absolutely amazing. I felt like
something was lit up inside me again and I was reminded that it’s all love and
as long as you believe, everything is possible. Yesterday, on Monday, we drove
off with a burning fire of belief, knowledge, and most of all, divine love in
our hearts. And the funny thing was that as we backed out of Jude’s driveway,
she looked in her mailbox and there was our tax file numbers that we thought
would be another obstacle cuz we didn’t know if we would get it in time. So
once more letting go revealed its power.
