Well, some of you might know this...
but
I'm back in America.
It's very weird. I don't really know what this is all about. All I Know is that God is with me. And that some how he will work his will out through me.
Lord, I need you.
And I need more grace then I thought...

strange. so strange.
i could put words to it. but they just fall so short. how do you express these thoughts?
I think that I am pretty sure that I'm called to mission work. God is cool about confirming this stuff.
2, 70 lb bags, because of "health and saftey standards"... in other words "we no longer employ big strong men because we are an equal oppertunity employer" heheheh
my friend in Singapore just got a job.
I love how small the world is... sometimes. |

Well I'm back in Dublin. But not for very long.
I was in Germany and Austria for the last two weeks. Yes I stood on the boarder for two weeks. :-P No, it was great. Those two countries are cool. The alps are amazing.
I am going to belfast for the last time today/tomorrow. Such a strange thought. This will be my 14th time in belfast in the last three years. Scary.
I bought the perfect bag in Vienna. I can't believe how perfect it is. I've been looking for this bag for years. Score.
I'm still sick. It's going on a month now. UGH!
I hate flies. I really really hate flies. yeah, definatly.
The thought of packing all my life into two bags make my stomack feel sick.
I recently got amazing news from my sister. I am really excited.
I'm leaving now. Good bye

| in 24 hours... |
[Jul. 19th, 2006|02:38 pm] |
do you do that?
Think about where you'll be in 24, or 48 hours? How exciting of a thought is it?
Well I usually only do it when it is an exciting thought, and right now is one of those times. In 24 hours I will be sitting in an airport. Dublin airport, or I might be standing in a que. We'll see.
In 48 hours I will have woken up in Germany and heard the first part of the student worker track... along with seeing my sister, adopted brother and many various friends. I will have found my way through Munich, all alone. And managed to get a subway ticket and get on the subways and get a hold of Teresa.
I kind of wish that I could skip the next 48 hours.
I love to travel, but after being stranded in Rome it's a bit more of a scary thought then normal. And I don't speak German. I'm sure it'll be grand.
I got a lot done today, about this I am very happy.
Saying goodbye to my Adopted God parents and their family tonight sounds like the least amount of fun possible.
At least I'm packed.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I leave thursday too. But I'll be back in the Ireland before I hit the state side.
There is no excitment in me about living ireland.
I am, however, very excited about going to Germany and Austria!! It has the potentail to be AMAZING.
I found 150 euro yesterday, in my bed room, so it's mine!
I've been out a lot... going out again tonight. Drinks are good, esepcailly when you won't be able to have them again for a very long time.

I haven't been up to a whole load. I am working on a scrap book from the community which is sort of consuming my life... but in a fun way. It's not like I have anything else to do.
Yesterday the single girls (and ciara) took me out for a last good time. We ate REALLY REALLY good food and some amazing gifts. Everyone has been to good to me! I am not looking forward to sunday, it could be a major break down. I just have to stay strong at least until then... or maybe have a good cry before hand so there aren't any tears left. That probably wouldn't work because I have tear ducts of craziness.
Moving on...
Yesterday Lord Sir Humphry Beltizar Galigar the 27th (also known a Rascal ... for good reason) almost died!! He is really hard to catch. I finally caught him in the sink and he decided to jump all the way across the bathroom. (sounds impressivly far... it's not at all) But he his the floor hard. He swam around funny for a bit, but is back to his normal self now.
I don't know how I'm going to leave my fish. Sounds pathedic I know.
I'm going to get a turtle or a plant when I get to america. Fish would remind me to much of the ones I've had to leave. I've had these fish for nine months! Just ask my mom.... that's good! |

| CAMP 06 |
[Jun. 30th, 2006|09:29 am] |
So I leave for Camp this afternoon at 1 pm. AHHHHHHHHH. I REALLY hope that I got everything done. I did my best. Thankfully we are taking a printer, so if I forgot anything it can be printed off my computer.
Sigh. Pray for my sanity.
I am so thankful that Mark Jordan and David Dick are coming. I have a feeling that they are going to be my sanity. Them and Leah and Caitriona. They'll keep me laughing.
So pray pray pray
I'll post pictures and stuff when I get home on Friday.
God bless

| INSTALMENT ONE: PENTECOST |
[Jun. 17th, 2006|06:28 pm] |
...IN ROME
How do you write an update about the such a JAM PACKED 13 days!?!?! I think that I will do it in bullet points, and then if any of them spark your interest email me and I will give you a more detailed account of that specific event. Ok? Oh, and this is going to be really catholic…
- Made it to Rome and then onto Fuiggi (where the conference was). It was a hard trip, a lot of sitting on buses and waiting.
- Didn’t have a room at the hotel I was suppose to be at, so I was put up in the hotel with all the translators, tec people, speakers, and ICCRS council members! Friday was a really long day of traveling.
- Saturday left Fuiggi at 8 am with a bus full of important people. I talked to a Sister named Sr. Mary of the Visitation who lives in France and is part of the community of the Beatitudes. They are amazing.
- Got in line for St Peters… 6 hours later, after a bunch of really good conversations, sharing sunscreen with the cool camera people, being adopted by a Spanish lady, being invited to Uganda, and being crushed by 300,000 people.. I made it into St Peter’s square (HOME!!) and got separated from the rest of the group! But I found 2 people I recognized and the three of us sat together.
- I saw two other people I knew coming down after the mobs had finished. I grabbed them out of the crowd and gave them seats…and was blessed by the fact they had a radio so we could listen to the translation!!
- Saw the Pope and had 2 hours of vespers with him and 400,000 other people! (was pretty close, 2nd section)
- Jumped a barrier with 3 people… who weren’t nearly as young as me.
SIDE NOTE: Some of us decided that the Vatican specializes in barriers. And sometimes…or most of the time they make no logical sense. Like the one we had to jump over to get out. It was tall too! They should go into the barrier business.
- Got lost and couldn’t find our group for a while. By the grace of God one of the ladies I’d grabbed had a phone and the contacts for the leader of our group. There were SO many people, it was kind of scary. We finally found all of our people. Then we walked for a long time, and then waited in a really random place for our bus… for an hour and a half! We got home REALLY late.
- And had to be up BRIGHT and early to get into Rome for Mass. I was scared that I’d missed the bus, but it ended up that I hadn’t. So I ended up on a bus with a german translator and 4 americans… 4 incredibly important Americans in Charismatic renewal. It was really cool, cause I got to talk to them a fair bit.
- Got to St. Peters (after a fair bit of stress) at 9:30… Mass started at 10:00! We knew we would get a really bad spot. So we walked a little ways and tried to get into a section, but we were turned away. So we showed another usher our tickets and he let up by… and the ushers kept letting us go by…. and then I suddenly realized:
I WAS WALKING UP THE STEPS OF SAINT PETERS TO HAVE PENTECOST MASS RIGHT NEXT TO THE POPE!!!
- I have the most amazing photos! I was about 600 feet or less from the alter. The whole college of Cardinals was there and my papa! He actually is really short! The whole thing was amazing. I could no believe that I was sooo close. It was beautiful. And the past part was that it was the exact same mass. It didn’t matter that it was the pope saying it… it was the same mass, the same Jesus, the same mysteries celebrated. It was so beautiful. And the Angelus was great as well!
- We then walked, and walked and walked to our bus. We all kept together… except for ONE PERSON! We lost one person!! So it took ages to find them.
- We drove to a huge arena in Monaco to have a MASSIVE charismatic celebration for Pentecost. It was ok. It was HUGE. The best part of that was that Countalemesa spoke… he is so amazing. And Fr Tom Forest was just brilliant!
- Got home late that night as well. On the bus had a really good conversation with a German translator who was one of my best friends on the conference.
THIS IS JUST THE FIRST TWO DAYS! I have much more to write, but I will do it over the next week or so. I want to do it justice. I will put pictures up soon and add a link to them here.
Blessings on all of you!
