God works

Today was great.
I found out today that i'll be picking up more classes and I am thrilled about that! Not to mention I have a laptop arriving soon, so I'll have a place to actually write all the extra lesson plans I'll be doing. :)

And as though we were all in one big movie where the whether follows the mood, its been beautiful today. Crisp, but beautiful.

Last weekend I enjoyed a quick visit to Belfast and this upcoming week the entire group is going to Dublin. I loved my last visit to Dublin. Its refreshing to feel like you're on vacation and to be in such a different kind of city. Derry is wonderful but there's a constant knowledge of what happened here and of the unrest that still exists from time to time. Dublin is alive with a different kind of feeling. It adds to the cross-cultural aspect of this program to be able to visit Dublin after having been here for a month: when all the little differences between the North and the South will be surprisingly obvious.

At least thats how I remember it.

In any case, God has shown some wonderful things shining through a rainy and rough week, and I'm grateful to him for each day I have here.
