Just a few words


Since the last time I have wrote I have been to China, back again to Germany and now I am at home in Ireland once again. I have gone to write a number of times before this but so much has happened I have no idea where to start.

What I can say for sure is how I have seen Gods mercy so much in my life and around the world and how He wants and will give the desires of our heart as we diligently seek Him.

That is key: Diligence in seeking Him.

Jesus said seek first the kingdom of God...this is His will for our lives. To seek Him and His ways, to love Him first, always. And all else will follow.

Though it may seem that I follow Him, and live my life for Him and yes He is so gracious and brings me to many wonderful places and meet many awesome people I still fail at this command time and time again. Praise God for His grace <3

Seek Him first...so often I think if I have this, or if my life looked like that then all will be good and all will be happy, if I become this or look like that then all will be well...none of this is true.

I am truly content when I find my identity in Him. I am at rest when I rest in Him and His Word, but in my daily life I compromise...compromising is dangerous ground.

What am I living for or for whom?
I know as I write these things they may not make sense to many and some may think I am being hard on myself but I know this is not true.
"Prone to wander Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love."

I guess all I want to say this time, is do not compromise with your faith, do not let anything come between you and Him, turn from seeking whatever it may be and seek Him. This is the reminder I need today.

He must be first...all else will follow.

Love,
Eimear

Have you ever noticed things happening in your day or events happening in your life when you say to yourself..that was just weird, not normal or no one could have forseen it..like incidents were planned to happen, ment to happen but there was no way you or anyone else could have seen it coming...or even planned it for that matter! Its weird when that happens isnt it. For me its been happening a lot lately, but I really do think it was always happening in my life and also in your life but we just dont see it, or if we do we write it off as being some odd coincidence. During this summer I've been longing to study the bible more and more..ok so that doesnt sound like everyones cup of tea but it is mine-its like a big mug of barrys tea to me! Friends of mine have and are studying in a bible college in Siegen, Germany (Calvary Bible college). The more and more I heard about the bible college and studying the word, the more I grew excited about having the opportunity to study and tau...

College year 2012/2013

Its been a little while since I wrote last. When my writing stops or I go quiet, sometimes its because I am kinda standing still in my life in a way...this time it has been because of fear. The last two weeks have flown by...each day has been such a mix, with hopeless moments followed by encouragement from the Lord. His steadfast lovingkindness definetly sums up my last two weeks. College is a huge challenge for me. I am so thankful to know that I'm ment to be there. God has shown this to me clearly through His Word and opened the doors for me to go to college. It was given to me by Him and its a gift I am thankful for it. But boy is it a challenge!! The course I am doing doesnt have a whole lot of class hours, I havnt had that many exams so far and overall it shouldnt be that intimidating, but to me it is. I am 25, (26 next month...mini life crisis ahead!!:)) and I have never been good at dealing with academic stuff. I have always wanted to teach children. Always....

Rain drops keep falling on my head!

Today here in Cork, it is definetly an umbrella day! Each day here in Ireland the weather can be so different. Yesterday we had snow and sun and today we have lots of rain. Each day we can have many thoughts, worries, wants and needs. Each day God is the same. Each day His Word remains the same. Each day His promises are true. In Matthew6:25 Jesus says: 'Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?'   Matthew6:34 Jesus says, 'Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.' Please note that I am not saying that these things arent important and I do not expect a package outside my door with an outfit picked out and a food basket next to it saying 'with love from God' each morning. Of course God provides ...
