Last weekend I was off to beautiful Norway where I met my beloved friend steven and this weekend I am off again to Newcastle.  What a crazy life I now have with all the things God has blessed me with.  I am traveling all over Europe with Mark and we are booked almost every weekend from now until christmas.  What a calling I must live up to.  To live a life worthy of my calling.  I have just begun striving to be more like a child.  I need to be like a child in my relationship with God and with how I follow His leading.  To let my heart fun free and unhindered by the boundaries of this grown up world that is covered in fear.  I am longing for more and more intimacy with God.  I also now see that I must seek after the intimacy within the bible, God's diary.  The bible is a diary of God's where I can learn his deepest thoughts, desires, and get to know Him on a personal level.

I have been living with Sydney and Katja for a week now and am getting use to having female house mates.  They are both really fun and I know that we will get along great this year.  I had a hard week this last week because I feel a little down and out with not doing things in Coleraine on the weekends.  With me being Marks traveling partner I wont be in Coleraine for the weekends which makes me unable to do street evang, Face to Face outreach, HOTS, and go to church on sundays.  Don't get me wrong, I am so blessed that it over takes my emotions sometimes by how much God has blessed me with being Mark's traveling partner.  It was just hard this week when Ricky was going over everything Sydney and I were going to be doing this year as mission interns and it discouraged me that I wasn't able to do many of them because of being gone on weekends.  I was also feeling a little bit of competition with Sydney which I should have expected, but I don't want any of that.  Having another person from home here is great, but at the same time I feel that bit of insecurity within me being rattled with the idea that Sydney may be more liked, successful, and better than me amongst friends and in the internship.  I need to drop all my fears cares and turn to what God thinks about me.  His opinion is the only one that matters and is the one I should draw my strength upon.  Otherwise I falter and crumble in fear of man.  Thank you for freedom from fear God.  Victory!!
