The Workings Out of a Heart Not Fully Formed Yet

I write because I dream: I see this world as a place the Kingdom of God is constantly breaking into and I want to join my King Jesus in whatever way He sees fit to bring His life, His Presence, here.

This journey has taken me all over the world and lead to encounters with incredible men and women of God: their lives have imprinted mine. This blog is a result of our conversations and questions, and a way for me to display my inner life with God, so that others may see the glory of a life given fully over to her Creator. I, and the ones I love, are no special people--we just partner with an amazing God.

We've seen suffering. We know doubt. We wrestle with where we have been and how we got there--but we will never give up. Our lives are a testament to His faithfulness.

Be Blessed as you read. Encounter the King.

To Answer a Few Questions You Might Have About the Direction My Life is Currently Heading In...

Newness of life...

I'll be spending the day writing about Resurrection, I can tell--it's just bubbling out of me! haha, like always!

But first, I want to be practical for a few moments. I know I spin off into my deep thoughts all the time in this blog without realizing and relating to what is happening RIGHT NOW: so this blog will be one of those, for those seeking an update on my life (did she leave Ireland? where is she living? why hasn't she visited me? is she living under a rock? I know these are the questions bop-bop-bopping through your minds)

1. I left Ireland, Northern Ireland to be exact, on a plane, two weeks ago today. I don't live there anymore.

2. I live in California now.

3. I have no money for gas and no car to visit (well, I didn't). At the present moment, I earned a bit by babysitting and have use of my mom's car, so I will be a bit more mobile. There are many of you out there: call me if you want to hang out! I mean it...I would love to see all of you and I will--it just might take time :)

4. I do not live under a rock, though my parents do live out in the country, so sometimes it feels like the same thing.

Now that we're past your questions...little update: I am planning to go back to Ireland. It's a nation which holds part of my heart and is similar both in geography (islands!) and religion (Catholic!) as the nation I presently love and hope to return to someday (Haiti!). I have much to grow and feel that the Lord is opening the door wide and ushering me in. It's going to be a wild ride--but I am STOKED!

Meanwhile, I will be volunteering at a base in Yosemite and working at my local youth group for the next six months. I am excited to see what God does here: the people in both places are PRECIOUS and I am excited to partner with them for this little bit of time I am given.

So, that's it! But there's always more and I would love to chat! (It's kind of my favorite thing :)) so take me for coffee somewhere or Skype me, whatever, and we'll have a grand ol' time.

Cause it's a grand ol' life :) with a grand ol' God and grand ol' people and just general grand...
