So one thing about Ireland is that it’s insanely cold! Apparently we were there when it was warm, but you could have fooled me, because I couldn’t stop shivering. I’m drinking hot chocolate!
hotter than hell Haiti to the frigid cold land of Ireland (ok I’ll really stop
now). So we went to Ireland for an event called the awakening. It is the second
annual conference that AIM put together. The conference is geared to having all
the current racers and alumni all come together to praise and worship our Lord
under one roof. There were five current world race squads, along with some
alumni from all previous squads before us.
So how can I explain
four jam-packed days into one tiny blog? By simply saying it was a crazy,
emotional, awe-inspiring roller coaster for all four days.
When I arrived at
the awakening, I felt like there was a cloud over me. Ireland is known to be cloudy, and it felt like an impenetrable cloud was there, and nothing could enter nor go out. I wasn’t myself, which can be a good, as
well as bad thing. Good, because sometimes I can be overwhelming, and bad
because the wrong perception of me can easily be acquainted. I’m not very good
at communicating specifics, but I can say the Lord revealed to me many
truths. Truths about him as well as myself, truths that I have always known,
yet never truly believed. You know that type of belief that you give your whole
heart and soul too. The type of belief that you would just about bet anything
on it, because you know without a shadow of a doubt that you are right. The
Lord confirmed so many truths within me I can’t help but to have that type of
belief. He has searched every nook and cranny of my heart, and knows me
completely, and amongst the faults and kinks found, his love is an unceasing
blood supply. I can’t stop thanking him!
I was one of those
people who was kind of on the fence about things. I kinda believed some things,
and kinda didn’t, but figured that neutrality was the best place to be. Well in
that lovely week, the Lord decided to bulldoze that fence, and walk with me in
a way that I tell myself was unexpected, yet inwardly I know I have been
waiting years for it to happen.
Break me
oh Lord and mold me to be more like you
