I randomly got to take a weekend trip to Edinburgh, Scotland during Easter weekend. Last year around this time I took a trip to Northern Ireland. So I was very happy to go back to the United Kingdom this year but to the other known luscious green, fun accent filled country: Scotland! It quickly transformed just from a weekend fun trip to a needed spiritual renewal for me. My friend Hannah came with me, and we stayed with a Scottish lady who lives just outside of Edinburgh. The lady's name is Rosemary, and I can honestly say I believe she has changed my life. All my life I have had a series of people that I have met briefly, but have found myself in the most serious/ life changing conversations with. The kind of conversations where you just know God is speaking through them. I would not be anywhere close to where I am now, without these people. Well, Rosemary quickly became one of those people for me this past weekend. She is a true Christ follo...
I have a re-accuring problem. Where I tend to get overwhelmed, my way of coping is to do nothing. Some of you are saying right now "well good, just leave it alone." but clearly you don't know me. When I say nothing, I mean absolutely nothing. I block out everything. I tend to stay towards the home, watch way too many movies and tv shows. I stop writing friends back.

I felt something I haven't felt in a couple weeks- I felt calm. Some days feel rushed, like you are continually fighting to catch up with the rest of the world. But today does not feel like that at all. It is like everyone is on the same relaxed wave link. Everyone seems h...
So ta da da video number tre this video is of my own personal laundromat and some of the way cool kids. Yesterday I hit the two week mark on making my home here in Lushnje. I am not usually a ritual kind of person meaning like celebrating every two weeks, month, or 5 month anniversary. But they are very big with traditions like that here so I thought I would honor that. My comfort level here has now gone up to pretty much complete. It probably fully became complete the day we got wirless here, and oh am I thankful for that day. Thanks to Skype and Facebook, my family and friends do not feel so far away. Here is a list of things I have now learned on week two in Lushnje: - No mattter who you are with or where you are going here, no one will ever tell you exactly what you are about to do. I don't know if it is language barrier, language translation, or just being in Albania but I seem to be never expecting whats next. Yesterday I was asked by the family i'm staying with to go v...
