Updating blogs is just seriously not my thing apparently. So much has happened since the last time that I "blogged" (just sounds so funny).
A couple of my friends and I took a trip up to Pittenweem, Scotland to see a friend get ordained. Talk about a growing experience on patience! There were about 13 of us living under one roof for 4 days. Did I also mention that there was only one shower?! It was by God's grace alone that we made it out all alive. JUST KIDDING! I swear I just keep meeting the most amazing, warm, caring people around every new bend in this adventure. The same was true for Scotland. I am so thankful for all of these friendships I am developing - all over the world as well! God just took my breath away with the beauty of Edinburgh, Scotland. LOVE that place so much! I must have taken around 150 photos. I have a feeling that London & Barcelona are going to be about the same.
The days since my return from Scotland have been filled with school (notice no "schoolwork") and hanging out with my amazing hostel family here. Me and two of my friends from Moody went up to the Beachlawn Hotel the other day to attempt to tackle some of our papers we have to write and instead spend the whole 2 hours almost in tears from laughing so hard (or at least I did). I have never laughed so much or felt so free here. I cannot believe that I'm here still, in Northern Ireland, getting pursued by Him.
Something really neat that Jesus showed me the other day in chapel was that one of the reasons why I am in Europe going to school and not say, back at Moody, is because He wanted me to get away and get to a place where I could constantly be reminded of Him and SEE Him in everything, mainly nature & architecture. He is blessing me with this semester of traveling around Europe because He wants to draw me even more deeply into Himself. And can I tell you, it is SO working :)
And yet (if that weren't enough), the thing that I am probably most excited for is this summer and upcoming fall. I have absolutely no idea what I will be doing but I am so excited to see how God will provide for my financial needs as well as where He is going to lead me next.
My Jesus is truly all I need.
