Overdue

I have now been back State-side for 6 weeks and I feel like I've been going 100 mph since I landed on 18 May.  I am so thankful for this time at home, but anyone who's spent 3 minutes around me knows that although I am physically here in America, my heart is in Northern Ireland (because that's mostly what I tend to talk about...with everyone and anyone- literally!)

As many people know, but some may not, Kairos has asked me to come back on a three year mission post that I have accepted.  Although we never quite know what God has planned for us, I have been affirmed and reaffirmed that Northern Ireland will be my home for at least the next few years!  This is not something I'm taking lightly and feel heavily privileged to be a part of in the Kingdom work.

That said, while in the States until the end of October (get to be a part of another wedding! 2 down, 2 to go! YAY) I will be renewing my visa, connecting with churches and individuals, and expanding networking and partnerships for both spiritual and financial support.

My prayer is two-fold: I have seen God use me alongside teams both State-side and on the Emerald Isle...my prayer is that while God continues that work here State-side while I'm here, that He also bless the team I am yearning to return to over in Northern Ireland.  My heart breaks and friends here have seen me shed many a tear because I so desperately want to be back with those on the Emerald Isle.  I know that this has and will continue to be a time of refreshing, reconnecting, and rediscovering the passion God engraved on my heart many years ago.  I am grateful for the blessings God has placed in my life and thank Him daily for allowing me to do what I'm doing and providing to make it all possible.

PS I promise the next update won't take nearly as long to post!!!!!!
