All my tears

Holla, y’all!

And you know where I’m chilling now? In Amsterdam, what! Currently sitting in the departure lounge at Schipol, as my flight back to Aberdeen leaves in a little more than two hours…been here for a couple days now, on a two-day training course(“Coaching Others”). It finished a few hours ago, so I was able to spend a couple of luxurious hours writing in my notebook and enjoying the goodness of the Lord in bringing me to new lands and new adventures!! Grabbed a quick dinner and then I realized they have free wi-fi here(well, at least for half an hour) and that I have my laptop with me…so decided a shiny new update was in order.

And now I’ve about run out of things to say, but just know this – the lovingkindnesses of the LORD are everlasting!

Oh and tomorrow’s bound to be a crazy work day back in Aberdeen – since I’ve been gone for two days and I’m slightly worried to see what’s gone in my absence. Pray for me.

Also! Talked to Anna briefly today in between my training sessions – such sweetness hearing her voice again! I think our God is far better to me than I deserve, giving me such friends as her. Hungary trip’s definitely happening next year, all I’m saying!

And now I must sign off, as I see I only have 11 minutes of internet left and I want to write a quick email back to Dad.

Peace and love, y’all. I love you all so much – more than you know.

Across the ocean

Alright, I was going to post a long, EPIC entry, but alas, I took too long eating lunch and now lunch is about over and I need to work. But I still must at least write something! Hopefully the quality makes up for the quantity. Actually, it probably won’t, but shh. And now that I’m done talking about why I’m not writing more(and thus wasting precious time that I could have written a longer entry!), I shall just say a few words…

Firstly, Deanna is in town! What!!! Yes, you heard that right – Deanna’s in Aberdeen as of last night and that is just so much awesome, y’all. She’s staying with a family here in the church(Eleanor’s parents) currently and today she’s recovering from her flight adventure yesterday(which included a 4 hour “visit” with immigration officials. Ugh) and exploring around Aberdeen while I work. But tonight, going to go downtown and celebrate Rosemary’s birthday(hurrah!!) and then tomorrow, we go up to Inverness! As long as we don’t get blizzard-ed in the face, that is. We’ll spend a night in Inverness(of course exploring Loch Ness while we’re at it) and then taking the train down to Edinburgh on Friday(again, God willing) and spending a couple days there! It shall be sweet and epic and awesome and fantastically fabulous and perfectly lovely, I so declare.

Of course, I’m also a little exhuasted right now, because while I told myself ahead of time I’d get lots of sleep over the weekend in preparation for impending Deanna-visit, did I? Of course not. Instead I had a gorgeous weekend hanging out with people and enjoying amazingly encouraging and refreshing times at church and shopping(the worst part of the weekend!) and seeing random movies and staying up FAR too late every night and not getting any sleep at all(most of this is your fault, Aiysha!). But…what do I always say? Sleep is unnecessary.

And now it’s work time(for the last time until next Monday!) and then it’s epic Scotland with Deanna Adventure time! Peace out, y’all!!
