'This too shall pass'
The last seven days have been absolutely mad. I went to a class on Monday, had seven visitors from all over the world, went to two funerals and had to continue on with my regular ministries. The thing that pushed it over the edge was the fact that one of those funerals was for my boss’ mum who passed away on Tuesday evening or early Wednesday morning.
No, I did not know her. However, I know...

C...B...B.
What is ‘CBB’? It stands for ‘Can’t be bothered’, which basically describes my life right now.
When it comes to finding love, I can’t be bothered. Why? Because eventually it will just appear like it did for everyone else I know that ever found real love. I’m not going to go looking for it anymore, because one day I’ll be in the right place at the...

Sometimes life is just hard for no apparent reason. Sometimes things will be going along smoothly and then reality will hit you in the face. Sometimes things just aren’t the way you want them to be.
Well, tough. That’s just life and you’ve gotta keep moving.
Sucks, don’t it?

It’s funny how time slips away from you, huh? I cannot believe another week has come and gone, but it is Monday again so there’s nothing I can do about it anymore.
A few hours ago, I was sitting next to my dear friend Eva in the back of church. She was intently listening to Bert, the minister and my team’s boss, but my mind was elsewhere…until Bert said something that...

love it.
Once again, I am a failure at consistently posting every day for a month. But, I’ll try to make up for it with a cautionary tale about speaking when you should keep quiet. Man, what’s with me and cautionary tales this year?
Day 4: A “locked or saved” text/message you have & why: It’s not saved, but it’s my favourite in my inbox and it says, “We’re at...

Life Lessons: Cautious Texting
Last night, I was hanging out with a bunch of my friends at our boy teammate’s apartment. We were playing a board game, drinking tea and generally just having a good time. Well, a joke was made that I had to explain to M but I didn’t want to say it out loud because it would have been awkward. So I decided to text it to her.
Bad. Idea.
Well, I entered in what I was going to say and...

I love my job.
I love working as an apprentice in Northern Ireland and I’ll be honest with you…I never want to leave. In a few hours, really just five hours of a sleep and an hour getting ready, I will be driving down to Belfast (the capital city) to meet with various politicians that my boss knows in order to gain a better understanding of the culture I now live in.
Yeah, I also get to work with...

"...I think I just stepped in vomit."
London was brilliant and very dirty, like always. I may sound like your typical American when I say this, but I think that London is disgusting and I absolutely hated to touch anything or anyone there. I think that the next time I go to London, I’ll just wear disposable gloves everywhere.
Anyways, we just spent our time there taking in the sights and eating at our favorite Italian...
