These first few days of Ireland have been literally heavenly. The Lord is pouring his love on me. He has me in a very sweet season of just wanting to be in his presence. It has been a huge blessing to have wifi in the hostel where we are staying, because i am able to stream the prayer room when im just sitting and not doing anything. Within hours of stepping off the plane and into the hostel, we find out that there is a huge soccer game going on in Dublin and it is going to a be a packed house. So being the adventurous team we are say “well is it possible to get any tickets for tonights game� the man behind the counter said yeah maybe at the gate if your lucky. We almost brush it off figuring that we would not be able to find tickets all together. So we decide to walk around the town and just sight see a little. WELL GOD IS GOOD and we find tickets. So with roughly 4 hours of sleep in 48 hours, we begin to make our way to the game. It is almost like game day in the states, people are everywhere and the streets are crowded and you can just feel feel the adrenaline flowing through everyone. It was probably the greatest night on the race so far. I was going to get to see some of the best players play soccer, in Ireland. I had to be pinched a couple of times to realize that this wasnt a dream this really is my life. 
The picture belows is me and one of my squadmates and now friends LOGAN! who has been a God send to me on the race. Dublin is proving to be such a exciting city full of life and adventure. It has been a struggle to just get alone time though because there is ALWAYS something going on. I stay up until the wee hours of the night talking with random people in the hostel. I love doing ministry now, I love community. that is not at all sarcastic, i truly LOVE my teammates. Some of them are even a little weird sometimes.

It was good to come out of a really tough month and to finally see everyone smiling and having fun again. It has been such a blessing to not have to force feelings for my teammates, i truly enjoy them and love them. TEAM LOVESICK 514 all the way 🙂
