I thought I might post about Ireland a wee bit. Not too much because I don't want to spoil my running commentary when I see you all tee hee.. But I thought I'd preview you some photos.

This is a photo of the llama farm just a few minutes from Granny's house. They were really cute and quite hilarious when they ran. Could only think of the Emperor's New Groove!





On the second day I was there we drove past the church and my uncle was mowing the graveyards. He got me to go on the mower.. it was a bit of a challenge, but a good laugh.





My Uncles' lorry for their business 'Hillcrest Supplies'. They sell lots of supplies for building and leisure.. including disposable BBQ's hehe.




Me and my cousin Essy (Esther) on the Sunday before the 12th. We were watching a parade through Desertmartin, my Granny's local town.




Esther's cousin Cameron with mummy on the Sunday before the 12th. He'd wander round the house in his undies and shirt with an umbrella going up and down shouting "the bands, the bands". He's such a laugh!




This is a photo of lough (lock) neagh. It was beautiful that evening with sunset. This photo was taken close to 9:30pm at night. In Ireland it's not dark until well into the night. I wasn't able to sleep one night and it still wasn't completely dark at 12am.


This is me and Natalie at the Giant's causeway. We climbed the rocks up to the top about 7-8m above the ground and then realised how slippy they were coming down. Was quite a laugh!


I don't remember which picture I just uploaded.. but i'm sure it's lovely anyway :-P


Well that's just a taste of my time... I still have hundreds (literally) more photos left to show you but I'm bored sitting here uploading them. I hope to see most of you soon to show you all the gorgeous little cousins I have... and show you all the beautiful places I went to..

Catch up soon people!

Love

God is amazing you know. He answers prayers in a way none can fathom. I've been away for a month in Northern Ireland - the craziest and most wonderful time I've had. I was challenged by God's word in a way I haven't been for a long time and have found myself trusting and talking to him so much more. It's amazing the way he answers prayer. You can see it in everything. How can God not be sovereign?

Even when I am in a total pit of dispair and cry myself to sleep, God is there and comfort me. He puts his arm around me and envelops me in his love. He's like a breath of summer in the middle of winter, like the first flower in spring. A first love that never fails. A friend I can always call on by name and trust that he will handle me with care and do nothing but the best for me.

Where is God in the darkness? He's right there, right beside you holding a lamp and showing you the way free.
