Irealnd - Me in Closkelt

I want to say “thank you” to all of you who prayed for me and my flight situation. I ended up on the very next available flight and arrived at the YWAM base safe and sound around 11pm.

I’ve not had much free time, and I don’t think that I’m going to have much but I will do my best to keep this blog up-to-date. I’ve posted some pictures from my first two days that you can check out. We’re about to leave for a couple days of team-bilding camp so I’ve got to run, but I wanted to thank all of you and let you know I’m here safely and loving it so far!

I’m off!

A taxi will be at the house in less then 20 minutes to take me to the airport! The packing is over, finally.

Please say a quick prayer for my travel… my flight from London to Belfast has been cancelled and it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to get on the next plane… I may have to stay a night in London.

Thank you everyone! Without all of your encouragement, support and prayers I wouldn’t be here now. God bless!

Oh! Gravity * * * * *

No, “Oh! Gravity” isn’t a new way to curse… it’s Switchfoot’s newest album. I’ve been listening to the album for a few days and I thought I’d share some of my thoughts about the album here… If you are American and one of my peers then you already know who Switchfoot is, so skip this paragraph. For everyone else: Switchfoot is a band. The members are Christians (though they don’t bill themselves as a “Christian band”). Their music is usually found in the Alternative or Rock section, so chances are if this paragraph is news to you, then you wouldn’t like their music. That said, the lyrics in their songs have a lot of truth in them and that’s what I want to talk about now.

I could go on and on about most of the songs on the album and tell you how they relate to me and why this is my favorite album right now, but that would bore most of you. So I’ll just share my thoughts on two of them: Read the rest of this entry »
