70 degrees in dublin in october? what?!





what a beautiful day!! i had to take my camera out and about today cuz its gorgeous out and everything starts monday!! this is like our last weekend b4 everything officially starts!! its so wierd.. im in dublin! like today.. its completly gorgeous out.. probs like 70 degrees.. and so i decided to take a book and a camera and start walkin.. i walked up grafton street.. its saturday and it was lined with street entertainers.. fire breathers.. acrobats.. musicians.. statue ppl.. there was even this guy in a dog costume with a dog bowl barking for money.. pretty weird.. then i went to this park and sat for awhile.. then walked around.. horses and buggies everywhere lining the streets with the taxis..that was funny.. its just beautiful... but you can be praying for clubs and the groups and myself, as we all get started.. its i was reading in nehemiah this morning, about how he faced such a huge task, with all this opposition, and really just had to pray to God and really actually trust Him to get Him thru and that this was the Lords task and work He was doing... i feel kinda like that.. like there are these 3 communities full of kids and teens and ppl that are all of a sudden 'my' responsiblity.. to love them, mentor, disciple, lead.. teach.. etc.. and there is so much need.. so much brokenness, and as i look around and even think for two seconds, the task seems so large.. which.. it is.. as i have been given so much responsibility.. and there are expectations, spoken and or unspoken, would you all really just be praying that God not only prepares me, but gives me everything i need for whats ahead.. the energy.. health. creativity. love. inspiration.. new ideas.. passion. love.. boldness.. the ability to do well.. that i would do well.. that He would give me wisdom, and show me where He is working.. good relationships with the kids.. that inside, He would fill me and that i would know His love.. that i would keep focused on Him, on eternity.. on truth.. on who i am in Him.. that i would do well.. do His will.. like, there are just so many things.. and so please just be praying for me.. for the club i have to lead.. for the teens i will be in charge of.. that i would get daily inspiration and refreshment.. i need ur prayers.. everything is starting and so starting to pray now would be very good of you all.. thank so much... what a gorgeous day.. oh, pray i make some freinds.. its very easy meeting ppl when im out.. but only 2 percent of this country is Christian.. its impossible to meet ones outside of a church and even then you cant be sure.. so if you could really be praying for that.. that would be good as well.. i need friends, ppl to hang out with outside the mission, that love God.. not themselves.. so.. ya.. lots of stuff.. God is faithful and prayer moves and changes things.. so thank you... God bless you all..
