What IS In A Name?

I couldn't even think of what to name this post...it doesn't really have a unique purpose I guess, other than to update the status on Ireland. I have my British Pounds and my Euros and I and just trying to figure out how much money/snacks I'll need for the flights. 11 more days. 11...long...days...I know I said that I would appreciate these last days because the more I rush this time, the faster Ireland is going to fly by...but it's really hard and when this world puts you through some tough times and you just want to give up, it's SUPER hard. I just want to wake up and it to be next Wednesday. But no, I have far too much to do and enjoy in these 11 days for that to happen. I will wake up and it will be tomorrow. The same trials will be there, but I will have slept and I will do my devotion before ANYTHING ELSE tomorrow and I will have the strength of God on my side to face them, which is what I've had all along, I just need to reach out and let Him hold me up. So when other people cause you headaches and make your life miserable, remember that God is there to life you up when you are weak and hold you even when you think you can stand on your own...because you will never be able to.

21 Days

3 weeks...so short and yet so long...I ordered my British Pounds (GBP) the other day and now all I have to do is wait for enough money to order my Euros and then go get them. I am amazed at how God has provided in every way and continues to provide. People keep asking questions about where I'm going to be staying and even though I'm not exactly sure, I know that it's with an organized program so it is under control and God has given me a peace about that. I am so excited and I want it to be the 24 hours before my flight so that I can call the airlines and confirm all of them. But I know that if I runs the 3 weeks leading up to the trip, the 3 weeks of the trip will fly by even faster. So I'm going to drink it in. Enjoy every second for what it is. Be focused on the here and now. Be prepared for what lies ahead but be firmly planted in today.
