Ireland


My heart is always heavy on this day. It is a day that celebrates a man who loved God and loved people. It is a day that celebrates a man who saw people the way God saw them. It is a day that celebrates a man who believed in telling people about the Gospel. It is a day that celebrates a man who forgave the people who hurt him the most. He didn't focus on what was stolen from him, he focused on what was given to him.

My heart is heavy because I long so much to be like that.

I had an amazing opportunity to visit Northern Ireland on  a Missions trip. It was such an amazing, powerful trip. We saw people find God's dream for them. I got to see people gain destiny for their life. I got to see people being called into what God intended them to be. It was so powerful.

The other reason why I am so blessed that I got to go on that trip is because I got to go with and meet people who are just like St. Patrick. People who loved God and loved people. People who passionately believed in telling people about the Gospel. People who were quick to forgive. People who didn't focus on what was stolen from him, but focused on what was given to them.

I will be forever grateful for that mission.
