Yes I'm still alive over here on the Emerald Isle! I know its been what. . . 4 days? Been busy but let me do a quick catch up for you on what all you've missed.
Saturday was a wonderful day. We had Adopt-A-Block in the morning. (Congratulations to Abigail Wright - our AAB Leader of the Month for September!) The rain held off for us so we were able to visit with some people. Then after AAB Lynsey came and picked me up and we headed into town (Lisburn) with her two wee nephews to run some errands. After dropping them off we went to her house to eat Chinese take-out and catch up on the X-Factor UK and the X-Factor US. . .
Later that night Lynsey and I got together with some friends at the Cinema. Not the best film ever but I enjoyed being with friends :)
Sunday Lyns dropped me off at church. Service went really well and God showed up for me big time!!! (God had told me to put some change in the offering the week before - not alot. . . but still I'm tight on funds so it felt like alot. . . I had told him that He would have to provide for me. Sunday morning I was handed a card with money in it and on the card all it said was Philippians 4:19. It was perfect. I don't know who it was actually from but they were definitely an answer to prayer. I love when God shows up like that!
Sunday after church I headed back to Rachel's for tea (that's what they call lunch/dinner) and then back that night for church. I got to share a testimony and heard several others that really ministered to me. God is seriously doing some big things over here!
My adventure at the church came to a close as I moved back in with the Kirk's that night! Watched some TV with Rach later on - really missed our girl time :)
SIDE NOTE: Got a little emotional - we were making cheese and toast and Rach was slicing some tomatoes to put on top. My grandmother used to LOVE tomatoes - on everything! It's funny how little things remind you of someone after they're gone. I'm just glad she is in a better place now.
Monday (yesterday) I slept in - praise God for real beds that aren't made of air and have no leaks!!! Then I went into town (Ballymena) with Rach for lunch, and to run a couple errands. Relaxed at the house the rest of the day - oh and I did a TON of laundry!
Today I slept in - again :) I didn't go into the office because Alan's been out of town in the States and I had no way to get to the church. Instead I went into town to buy some things for Junior Youth. So I kinda worked - just not in the office :) Alan got home this afternoon and brought presents for everyone! Perfume for Rach, a spiderman costume for Benjamin, and as requested - GUM for me!! Haha he went a little overboard. . . and though not ALL of it's for me I'm pretty sure I'll be stocked up for a good while :)
Seeing that tomorrow is the first day this week I'll be in the office I'm sure it'll be a busy day! Plus I have worship practise and Prayer/Bible Study tomorrow. Best be getting to bed! Knew though I couldn't let another day pass without writing :)Missing you all! Especially my family. Ah but these next 10 weeks will fly by and I know once I get on the plane to head home. . . I'll be missing everyone here in N. Ireland!
