Life is really great things here are going well. We helped with this event and saw about 100 young people give their lives to Christ, please be praying that they really do continue in their Journey with God. On other news i am excited about coming home but sad about leaving as well i only have like three more girls clubs left and it makes me sad that i have to leave those girls. I will be starting a Cheer Club in A school so that should be fun. Please be praying about getting enough money to fly home and about making my last few months here really great. Love you all

I am a new creation made for something more
Beauty on the inside is what am longing for.
Each day I hope and strive to draw Him close to me,
So maybe I can feel a bit of eternity.
I see glimpses of eternity in the sun and a kittens kiss.
I see it in the love that no one has seen yet.
I see it in the hard times when the tears fall down
I see it when no one is around.
I see it for a moment when things seem just right.
I see it coming closer each day and each night.
The more I turn to God and love Him with all my being,
The more I fall in love with something who is more than seeing.
Though I may turn back many times in a day
I have my assurance that I am a new creation every
Step of the way.

I wrote this poem the other day because God is blessing me here, not because i am talking with kids about Him, i believe He is blessing me because for one of the first times in my life i am not trying to live out my own plan i am trying to live out Gods plan for my life whatever it is. It is hard and it has taken sacrifice i miss people so much back home some days i want to go. Some days are hard because God is changing me and i am saying yes to the change. It is hard to change things about yourself especially when you have been doing things certain ways for most of your life. But just like it said in the poem i just know by trying to be what God really created me to be, by trying to bring heaven to earth i can see a bit of eternity. I guess i am writing this because i want whoever is reading this to know i am doing well that God has brought me to Northern Ireland to help me see How much i need Him to see how much my life can be. This is only the beginning and I am scared but ready, timid but bold, weak but with God strong and i am looking forward to the unknown....my life.

update

So Pais Project has been very challenging but i have never been more in love with God then at this point in my life. So i have posted some pictures from when we went to Liverpool and Manchester for a week. It was such a nice time.

When we went to Liverpool we wanted them to know the pais Northern Ireland team were all red heads.

Here is me and some of the girls from other pais teams. the blond is from Germany and the other girl is from England

This is Michael Gemma and me waiting to catch a train back to the house we were staying at in Liverpool.

This is my team and the Liverpool team we stayed with eating out.

This Gemma Julia and me eating lunch on the beach it was so sunny a little bit cold but it was fun.

You cant tell but this guy is naked and not real and there are a lot of the same guy up and down this beach it is neat....well not that hes naked lol.

And this is the amazing Cathedral....it was huge and beautiful and made you feel so small and God so big, it took my breath away and photos do it no justice.

Here is a castle right outside of Belfast it was cool, we got to go inside

This place was amazing and this right pic. right here reminds me of a fairytale

Here me and Tami are posing with a fake man inside the castle

We all posed with this dog

And here we are pretending to play chess!

SO i just wanted to post some new pics. In other news things are going well really starting to build relationships with some kids. I saw Danelle on thrusday, her and her friend josh came and stayed a night here on one of there days of free travel. We went to this really neat place in the morning and then spent the rest of the day in Belfast, then i didnt want to say good bye so i went to dublin with them just for the night. We watched two guys playing Irish music which was amazing. Oh and i saw another girl from cascade who was with them, savanna. It was just nice to see people from cascade. Other then that all is well.

We had a few days off for some training and here is the group.

here me and tami are watching fireworks!




I am a princess for our baby moses video we were doing

So here is just a random video of us cleaning after a long day of work but some how we found a different way to entertain our selves. Oh and anyone who hasn't heard me laugh in a while well here ya go.

Whats New

So my life has been very busy. We are working a lot, i mean don't get me wrong it is a lot of fun. I have been having a really great time and getting to grow everyday. Last Saturday was a little sad because one of the cats that is around had put a week old kitten in a tractor seat and left it. I of course picked it up after i felt it was cold. It was still alive but not doing well. I just wanted to take it to the vet but there were three men around me most saying it was pretty much dead. So i started crying because my heart was breaking for the little Kitten one of them took it to the vet but it did not survive. Needless to say my heart was a little hurt for that day and the next and i still feel so sad i could not have done more for the black and white Kitten(Only I would write so much about a kitten....but i don't care it needed to be written about).

So now i thought would be a good time to try to write what a week might look like for me here in Northern Ireland. Monday: i wake up at 7 get ready and head into Cheers Youth center where our Office is at about 8:20 get there at 8:50 oh and here is the street Cheers is on

So Yeah its a pretty little place Ballymoney. Oh so we get to work and do devotion(unless we have an Assembly) for and hour, which is really great to have. Then we prepare for the Anti-Bulling workshop we have at 11 for like eight year old. Then we come back and prepare for any other assemblies or lunch clubs we have. Some where in there we take a break and then we have some free time. At 7:30 to 10:30pm we work in cheers where ages 11+ just hang out and do whatever. I have found two young boys who play uno with me they are great fun. Then a little after 10:30 we head home and i try to get to Bed by 11:30. Then I start it again the next day. Each day is a little similar except one day may have more assemblies and youth clubs while others don't have as much. Some nights are also different like Mondays always is cheers, every Wed. There is girls club at my church for 7-11 year old. Thursday and Friday not too much at night and Sat. i help with the youth 11+ and Sundays we have church at 11(yes) and then for awhile i am helping with Sunday school that is from 2:15-3:15 and then church from 7:00 to 8:30 and youth from 8:30 to 9:30. So yeah i am sure i left a bunch of stuff out but i think you would have stooped reading. Anyway it seems like a lot but its not too bad when you enjoy what you are doing.

Here is a short glimpse into my life and the people in it!

Here is a street in Ballymoney and Below we are at Portrush beach place just for a little outing.
