Wow, what a week. My eyelids are heavy and my mind exhausted. Its been a learning experience to be sure. Everyday there are hidden adventures waiting to be discovered. More people to meet or deepen a relationship with, always things to pray for, and more to learn. Val and Bert, the couple I interning under, are truly a blessing. They are vessels of wisdom and encouragement...a true joy to serve with. We do a lot of hosting for people to come and stay here at the house. People come and go all the time. We show them love, hospitality, and encouragement and allow them a place of rest. This week we will be doing more painting in the guest rooms.This past week I also spent time at a nearby college with a new friend named Keilah, who is 18 years old, and passionate about prayer and her ministry consists of encouraging others and starting a prayer room on campus for the students. She is a lovely girl, one of the few young people in her community with such a passion. I rather admire her and her passion for the Lord and sharing his love with people in her midst. Be praying for her as it can be difficult at times for her and be praying for those she meets...that their hearts may be open and encouraged by their conversations with her. Here are some other things to pray for:

Brokenness among the people
Suicide  ( as we have had our prayer walks in the last couple weeks, we were encouraged to hear that the rates have lowered, so thank God for that)
Jamie and Kevin ( a couple of young college age students that are seeking a deeper relationship with God but have little support; pray they stay encouraged and for their growth, that they may encourage others)
Brenden and his house church...(that God may use him and encourage him).
Val & Bert (Strength, rest, perseverance)
Neve & her family (going through difficult time, I am helping her learn guitar, pray God would deepen our friendship)
Carrie & Colleen ( missionaries here helping Brenden in his church and involved in other areas of serving, they are in their mid-twenties, they are so amazing)
Laraye ( my dear friend who is here serving with me, pray for her to stay encouraged, for God to speak through her and for foot she injured this week to heal quickly, safe travels as she returns home next week).
For me ( strength, direction/revelation, focus, awareness of His guidance throughout my day). 


I will be updating you again soon...God bless you all...thank you again for much appreciated prayers. Ireland is in great need of them.
