''Soul Cravings'' and Time Change!!

I am reading a really cool book at the moment by Erwin McManus called ''Soul Cravings''- I really recommend it. Erwin McManus is a fabulous writer and speaker. The book covers a variety of subjects and its kind of in the form of a journal, and Erwin bascially just talks about what is on his heart, from love, to hate and violence, to God. It is really making me think.

I read part of it this morning that talks about love and hate and how they are so close to eachother. He talks about everyones need for love, its a need that has not evolved with the generations. Without love, we enter a world of isolation and hate and thats where violence and corruption comes from. I don't explain it as well as he does, but its intense and very true.

I also bought a book yesterday called ''Blue Like Jazz''- Tasha says it is such an awesome book- so I am really excited to read that one as well!! Oh the love for books I have when I am sitting at a computer all day waiting for the phone to ring.

I had to teach sunday school this morning- and so I had no idea what I was going to teach on so I left a big early to try and get my head around a lesson before the class started. So I got to church and to my dismay the service was already going on. Now we have 2 services at our church- one at 9 and one at half 11, so me being me, I was like wow, the early service is very long today as it was already like 11:35. My sunday school lesson started at 12.

So by about 12:00 I asked someone, I was like ''is this the first service or the second? Because I am teaching in the second and they have not released the kids to their classes yet'' ....and the poor lady I was talking to got a horrified look on her face and was like ''um, love, this is the second service, the clocks moved an hour ahead this morning so its now 1:00!''
So needless to say, I bolted to my classroom to see my teenage helper looking dismayed trying to entertain 15, 3 year olds with playdoe. Oh, I am so awesome!

So, with that excitement out of the way, Jen and I are off to do some shopping and then cleaning!Back to work tomorrow!!

Dublin and such.....

I have decided that it is probably about time I update my blog. I haven't used the internet long enough to even consider updating this thing!

So, I have been in Dublin now for like 4 months now! So crazy! It has been really hard but lots of fun at the same time! I am not going to even go into the craziness that has been the last 4 months. Check out our Ireland blog if you want an update! Yeah thats right I am lazy!

So, I just spent the last 4 hours at the crazy chinese internet shop downloading music onto my new pink ipod (so excited!). I am off work today becasue I have a lame chest infection or something to that affect. So it will be bed for me soon! Wow, what an exciting life I lead!

Staff part tomorrow night- pretty excited about that as we are going to a Japanese Karaoke bar! Should be intensly funny especially since everyone on my team plans on being completely toasted before even entering the karaoke bar! So hopefully I feel better so I can drink my coke and laugh at everyone.

I think we might go out to a beautiful part of Ireland this weekend called Powerscourt. Its part of Wexford and has a waterfall!! Yay! I have never seen a live waterfall before, so God willing the weather will be nice and we will own it!

Anyways, I am starting to like Dublin again as the weather is getting nicer and its now so dreary! Can't wait for it to get warmer! I love summer so much!

I emailed my travel agent today as well about moving my plane ticket up a couple weeks so I can start school in september. How crazy would that be if I came home long enough to get a degree! Still praying becasue I just want what God wants!

Anyways, enough of my ramblings! Heading home to drug myself up and sleep!
