Northern Ireland

Well I am sitting in our hostel in Belfast, Northern Ireland while Kelsey and Bernice are still sleeping. The hostel is actually pretty nice, we are suppose to have a fourth a roommate but we don't which has been really nice, and I can get free wi-fi from the building next door which is always a joy!

When we first got to Belfast we were at a loss of what to do, we came on Easter weekend and here in the UK they take off Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday for Easter.
Our first day we went down to the pump house where the Titanic was put together and went on a "living tour" where actors took on the roles of characters during the time period of the Titanic and walked us through the designing, building, and take off of the Titanic. It was pretty neat but a little awkward since it was only us three on the tour. We later found out that there is not much to do in Belfast and became a little discouraged that we had come this way to do, well nothing.
We found out that there was a tour that took us to Carrickfergus Castle and Giant's Causeway. The castle was cool, we only stopped there for 15 minutes but it was neat to see a castle right on the Irish sea. After the castle we drove through the beautiful Irish countryside (the kind you picture when you think of Ireland) where we saw hills and hills of green and tons of sheep! After being in the bus for about 45 minutes we finally came to Giant's Causeway, which was absolutely breathtaking.

It is a bunch of beautiful rock formations right along the sea, we were there for two hours and walked around just being blown away but its beauty.
Sitting there staring out into the ocean gave me so much peace about being here.
I was looking out into the sea and realizing how much God loves me! The sea is so deep and so wide, and yet God loves me more then that. He is so much bigger then that, and that blows my mind every time. I completely felt God's spirit upon me yesterday and just bring me the peace I need to carry on for the next two months.
I know that God still has a purpose for me here and he still wants to use me and I am really excited to see what else he has in store. He has taught me, and strengthened me so much since I have been here, and I know he has more to do before I head back home to the States.

Today is our last day in Belfast and we leave early tomorrow morning for Scotland. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to be here, to travel, to meet new people, and share God's word with them and I want to take full advantage of it before it is all over.
