And God said..."Let there be Blog!!"

It's official! The First blogging post has been posted!...well, not quite because I'm still typing it but by the time you see this, it will be the first post on my blog and you will be fascinated.
Welcome to my blog everyone! And if you got this site from one of my letters then I'm glad you found it and I'll be updating all the info on my trip as often as I can!
Updates on my trip to Ireland:
I'm planning on leaving June 30th and coming back July 16th depending on flight prices. (And if I can manage to get away from all those adorable little Irish faces!) I pretty much fell in Love with Ireland the first time I was there. Mom likes to say that that I went to Ireland last spring and left my heart there, which anyone would argue as pretty accurate if you could see the glee on my face every time I talk about it. I mean it's Ireland! God has blessed me so much already so it pretty much blows me to pieces thinking he wants me to go back! >.<
"Put the madness away Brit and get back to the update!"
"Yes sanity,thank you for keeping me on the ball."

So anyways, I'm pretty excited. I've been E-mailing Mrs. Jan who's been giving me all sorts of details about the trip, which after all the math comes out to $2900 dollars. And you know what's funny? I'm not worried, I'm actually solidly confident. Ya know how sometimes you bite into a chocolate bunny and its hollow? and you get all mad because you thought it was solid but it wasn't? Well I am solid. I'm full of Solid Chocolaty confident goodness right now... I love when faith tastes like that. I mean I'm taking necessary steps like working as many hours as I can, and sending out my letters and saving my money... but the weirdest part is, I feel completely calm about the whole thing, like theres no need to worry. Like God's just put his hand on my shoulder and said "Don't worry Brit, I've called you to this." and I just melt into this puddle of "Wow God,... your so amazing..." So I keep standing on my faith and try not to nibble on my fingers... that was a joke.
And because I'm going they can have more kids come to the camp! Last year they only had a few teachers so they actually had to turn kids away! THEY HAD TO TELL LITTLE KIDS NO!
"Sorry Kids, no Jesus for you, we don't have enough teachers."
"Aw...potatoes."
So this year I'll be there so they don't have to turn away as many and we can get them saved!! SAVE THE IRISH BABIES!!!

Well, this was a random post. I'll put up some actually useful information about my trip very soon. This one was mostly a silly post as a test run to make sure my blog is working. Thanks for reading!
