In 50 days I shall board an aeroplane ultimately bound for Ireland. 50 days! Crazy. Two dreams have now been combined in a more perfect adventure than I could have ever dreamed:
doing youth ministry work in Ireland for 10 months!
Once I accepted the position with NET Ministries in Ireland on March 22, I knew it was real. However, each day it becomes more and more real. I am affected by small things in life. I purchased some luggage on Sunday. How strange, but that suitcase makes it real. I am getting closer and closer to reaching my sponsorship goal and now it feels real. Not scary real, just anxious "this is really happening" real.
I am excited. So ready to fully rely on God for everything. In my own home, my job, my life here I have so many comforts and blessings that I take for granted. It is so easy to do things myself and rely on my to get it done. That is changing. I am leaving all I know and I cannot wait. I am ready to wake up each morning and rely only on God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit for strength, courage, and endurance.
There are typically outcomes or goals that I often works towards - completing a deadline, bringing in a certain number of freshman, or whatever it may be. In 50 days, all that shall change. My goal or employment desire will change. It won't be able to be measured in a typical fashion. My goal will be to bring the youth of Ireland closer to Jesus.
In summary - I am on fire for the Lord.
