Update from Denmark...

So we are 3 days into ouir trip in Denmark. We are currently at a boarding school and we wandered up a stair case where we are and found some computers, hurray. It has been sunny and great, the people are so nice and our road manager -Filip, is really fun and funny. We have been eating some interesting sandwiches but mostly the food is good. We are already tired but its been good. I think we have to go and sound check now, I will write more soon. ok...we are at another boarding school again. This is our second to the last one. To be honest I think I am going to be sad to have to leave. The people have been more then great here. Every where we go they have been so welcoming and are so interested in what we are doing and just being our friends. The weirdest part is that I find that their culture here is almost more simliar to mine then Northern Ireland. I suppose its because all the Enlish media here would be moajority American, as where NI would be majority British for obvious reasons. There are just a lot of things that they would have the same words as us in English, I suppose they know American English as opposed to British. Anyways, ya and the people are really relatable, oh by the way, gorgeous. You know how really beautiful people are the exception in Northern Ireland, or America for that fact...well here its more the rule. They are every where and as Britt and Jess have pointed out to me I like the pretty boys and they are deffinitley pretty here. Its great to feel like I am on a "mission" trip again, ya know? Its been so long since I have experienced a new culture. Its put a new fire in me to know more about the world and the different people. I was telling Pete today that this is a country I could see myself living in because there isnt too much culture shock. Its also reawakened in me my desire to experience more of the world. I am so excited to be able to go to Spain and use the language I at least know a bit. I have really been asking God to show me He is working. The thing is that He has answered, and in usual God fashion He is answering but in different ways then I expected. I asked Him to show us unmistakably that He was working through us. We got a text message last night from a girl whos school we were in and she let us know that our message of forgiveness really challenged her to forgive her classmates who had treated her badly for a long time. Wow! Thats cool. I feel, great! I am tired but its so exciting. Remember the days when you were at camp or a mission trip and there was something so romantic about everything? Yeah thats how I feel. Ok there are no guys sweeping me off my feet but I feel all romantic just the same. Its funny how you get older but you are still always just a girl! Ok well I better go...goodnight

On the road again...


Current mood:accomplished
So I did the final part of the whole process of driving. Its taken a good 4 months to do all this, but I got it taxed today so I am ready to get on the road. Wow, its amazing how much freedom I will have. I catch myself thinking, how will I get there? But then I remember, oh ya, I will DRIVE! One of the hardest things about living over here is your lack on independance. One is because you don't have a job so you don't have an abundance of money and the second is its a foreign country so they do everything different here, imagine that? haha Its hard for us who have come from having "lives" and being able to drive here and there whenever and all that comes with it. I said early in January to some friends that living here has made me feel like a child again in many ways. You are so dependant on other people to tell you how things work, show you where to go, and take you there. But, after God let me experience being dependant for a while, I now have this freedom back! On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again!-Go on Willie!

Current mood:exhausted
life seems crazy at the moment, yet somehow I find time for this thing, haha. We are moving out of our house in Craigavon on Saturday so I have been packing my huge load of crap(where it all came from I do not know) into boxes and suitcases. The guys(AXIOM) are moving to Waringstown, which is not too far from here, but a smaller house...its still really cool tho, we went and saw it last night. Laura has the big room at the front and I will be sharing with her until I move out. I am moving in with another girl called Laura who lives in Lurgan. I was really sad about that at first, I still am to be honest. Its like moving away from my family sooner then needed. But I will always have a bed at the house so I can always stay there if I want. Its also sad leaving this house. Laura Blakley have made a little ritual these past couple days to wander down to the mall and get our coffee and sit and talk about nothing and everything, I will miss that. So here is my schedual for the next wee while (ya like that huh?) March 3rd-off 4th-Concert in Ballymena 5th-Concert in carrikfergus 6th-off 7th-11th-Mission week in Carrikfergus College 12th-Mannafest(our cd launch-woo hoo!) 13-18th-Ballyclare Secondary Mission week 19-27th-OFF!!! 28th-April 8th-Denmark April 9th-Enniskillen COncert/Mannafest 10th-14th-Off/working on training with Suzi 15-17th-LIT retreat 17-29th-to be seen? 29th-My b-day-woo 24! Ok so it sounds like we have breaks a lot...I always thought that of AXIOM last year, but when you work 18 hour days and do that for 5 or 6 days in a row it tends to take it out of you.Anyways I think Suzi (my boss) and I are working some of that time to plan for next year. hopefully the first week in May I will be going for a week to Spain with Britt...yeah! SUN!!! haha Who knows why I wrote all that out....BUT....if you don't live over here I know there is no concept really of what I do...so maybe that will show you a little.??I hope? Thats all, until I have some profound something else to say:)
