My heart, and God's...

It has been a while since I have written in here, I have been so busy that I don't get the time to think, let alone blog.

This summer back home has been intense, and so completely fabulous. I can't believe how fast it has gone, and I can't believe the work that Jesus has done in my heart. I feel like a completely new creation, and I can honestly say that I have walked my whole Christian walk without feeling the peace and the complete love and joy that I feel now. Its crazy.

God still has work left to do in me, the work is never done- but He has started a good work and I am so thankful for that. My heart is being renewed and changed to be more like His everyday, and that is so exciting becasue it is something that I have been praying for, for so long. I have been praying freedom for so long and it is finally something I am experiencing.

I am heading back to Dublin at the beginning of November and I could not be more excited to take on the challenges that God has laid before me. He has broken my heart and remewed my passion in a big way for the city and for the people. I am on my knees for the kids most day becasue I just love them so much and want them to know special they are. I want them to know that someone cares about them enough to stick it out. I am willing to sacrifice everything to build that into these people. I am going to miss home like crazy, and I always end up homesick, but to me it is worth it. The call of God is worth sacrificing my comfort.

I wish that people could see what I see when I look at Dublin. I wish people could understand the love God has for His lost children. People say they understand, but if they did, if they felt the heart of God for the lost, than they would not be sitting in their lives not making a difference. They would be running, desperate to share His heart and make it known. That is my desire.

Now that I have seen God's heart, I can't contain it.

We are having a banquet this weekend to raise some money for this year in Dublin..I pray at this banquet that people would see my heart. That they would see how important this ministry is, and that I would beable to convey at least an ounce of the love God has for Dublin.
