Killin’ It in Kilkenny
Saturday night we arrived (very much exhausted) in Kilkenny. Yay! Dunmanway was a quaint town, but Kilkenny is a busy city. Us girls are on the 3rd floor of the Community Church. Out the front window you can see a castle, a cathedral and the busy streets below. Out the back, abandoned buildings and the river.
Sunday we attended church downstairs. Everyone was so welcoming and made it feel like home. After lunch we began planning for the kids club that will take place every morning for the next week and a half. Tensions arose and we had to take time to pray alone so we could put our selfish things behind and focus on God’s will.
After dinner a man named Scott Evans came to tell us about the Irish culture and some of the religious questions we might get. He was an amazing man after God’s own heart with some great stories to tell.
Since yesterday was my birthday, we had cake and laughed until late when it was finally time to go to sleep. So far Kilkenny’s been wonderful.

Hey there-
Happy Late Birthday! I’m sure there
Are some people back here in the states
Who thought about you most of that day –
Happy Thoughts and sending up a prayer
too.
Sounds like you have some good leaders
grounded in their faith -> Knowing There are eyes
that Watch us to see if we are Humble , Loving ,
Willing to be last, Unselfish, Authentic – Real;
Reminding you that if we Want to be Jesus to
the world than we need to Always do what
he did ~~} take time out – away from everything
& everybody …… Just you andGod alone
where you can hear only Him. What Does He
want you to know ?, What do you need to be
prepared for? The most important part of
everyday is Preparing your hearts for it. Even the
disciples who were with Jesus in person day
And night , tripped up. They always came
Back to Jesus so He could help them get it
Straight so they would learn from it and
hopefully Not repeat it. Don’t you just Love
His Amazing Grace, His Beautiful Mercy.

****and to be renewed in the spirit of your
minds, (Ephesians 4:23 ESV) ****
**** 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 ESV
For the weapons of our warfare are not of the
flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion
raised against the knowledge of God, and
take every thought captive to obey Christ.**
We are praying for all of you , Be
mindful to Pray for each-other as well!
With So Much Love –
