As I recollect on the past week, I remember many things. One of which stood out to me, it was Wednesday night at St. Catherine's Hospital Chapel where Church of the Redeemer Midwest Campus held their mid-week service and prayer and I had to the opportunity to be prayed for by the congregation. Naturally with the departure date closing in I asked for prayer about friends and family and of course Ireland. The Pastors wife delighted not only prayed for my safety but also "a Kindred Spirit." I immediately felt grateful, I mean safety is something to you definately want to be insured about but to bid God to mean enough to someone, I have not even met yet, to be considered their friend. This is like meeting Jesus all over again, so needless to say I am excited to meet this mystery amigo whomever she or he maybe. I hope that if this individual or individuals have not heard or honor Jesus then maybe I will be their to witness a heart transformed from stone. Then we will not only be kindred spirits but also Kindred in Spirit. ahh ahh get it!? thats how it all ties in full circle.

Kindred Spirit or Kindred in Spirit?

God Willing
"God Willing" these two words describe at whose Grace I am even able to think that a young man from Southeast Wisconsin with curly "Irish Gold" hair (my personal hair colour.) could ever set foot upon the land where some of his ancestors lived. This exciting trek back to Ireland has preoccupied mind for the last few semesters and is quickly coming within reach. As I understand this window of opportunity has been flung open and through all the hoops and 'official documents' God's grace has been immediate and abundant, I am Blessed to be able to roam the globe among the nations. My expectations for this semester "Exchanged" are uncertain, but God is good so my fears are low and my hopes are high. I know what I would like to do but that is not always His plan, so join me in seeing what can be accomplished, enjoyed, and shenanagined in Ireland. Also Thank you Father in Heaven for the Earthly Fathers we are so grateful to have guiding us, gaurding us, and for a few raising up to Glorify You. Thank You God for all you do! Ahmen.
