Snail Pizza

Good Mornin faithful readers..it's been a while. I've just been so busy lately enjoying the fatherland I forgot about this blog. So I'm not going to give a really detailed account of the last two weeks, because I can't remember right now, it's 7:41 in the morning here, which is 6 in the morning in Ireland,so I'm a bit tired.

Time for a summary. The last two weeks have been awsome. So much stuff has been going on, and a lot of changed has happened, and God's done some amazing work inward. Two weekends ago, myself, a fellow college mate named Hannah and one of the office girls, Katha, had the weekend team. What that means is we had to do the cooking, cleaning and washing in the cafe breakfast,lunch and dinner. It was a real great time actually, we made some pretty crazy food, including 'GermIrishAlina' barbeque beans...we were trying to be multicultural with the name. I took some pictures of it too so when I get back to Ireland you can all see it, and I can tell you more about that weekend.

Now every semester there is an outreach week in the college where students get to go to different churches and sometimes in a different country and help out the church there, evangelise etc. and so we had to make a decision where we wanted to go. There was Turkey, France, Bavaria, East Germany and Sweden, and of course I'm opting for the cold country, so off the Stockholm, Sweden I go. I've been praying about it and its been put on my heart to go there, so I'm stepping out in faith, my finances are low, and gonna go where He leads me.

Last week God did something in my life. He answered a prayer, a real specific prayer thats been troubling me since I got here. He answered in a way I wasn't expecting, and took something away from me. The effects of this didn't hit me until maybe 2 or 3 days later, but then it did, and I got hit hard. I was pretty much in a state of brokeness, but thanks to support from my brothers and sisters here, and lots of prayer God has really shown me some stuff. He's thought me to not only just seek after him for comfort and peace, when we can't comfort ourselves, but also to be content with just Him. I had been so obsessed with wanting to be in a relationship, I was forgetting the most important relationship I have, and that is with Jesus. I knew that being with this person was dragging me down, and drawing me away from God, but in a stubborn fashion I kept going on. So it had to come to God doing this in my life, for my own good, for me to listen to him. I have a rebellious heart and he's going to fix that though. :)

This week is speakers week and we've been blessed by having Mike Neglia and Duke and Ian Knepper over here. Ian's leading worship and Mike and Duke are teaching on the last words that some major characters in the bible have said. It'sn going to be a great time just drawing close to the Lord this week and I cannot wait.

We had troika this morning, getting up early for discipline, and we started it off with boxing. A good fun laugh, Ian accidentaly made Mike bleed though, truely a man's sport. Now folks I'm off for a shower and breakfast. Forgive me for not making it a long one, but I'll try get more active on this. And if your wondering about the title, Ricky Ponce the chef made snail pizza the other week.



It was lovely.

God bless,

Danny.
