God is doing a big work in my heart right now, and if anyone is still around reading this, I could use prayer. Please pray for patience, that my thought life would conform to the Lord, and that He will bless me with a servant's heart. I know God can do amazing things and transform even the weakest of faith, so I am just trusting.

Hope all is well in your lives, please leave a note if you have any prayer requests!

I know I should post more about my life in Scotland, seeming as it's coming to a close soon. As in a week and one day. (Minus the month I'm going to spend here in June...). But whenever I get on here I feel as if I have way too much to write, so I therefore write nothing. Or a sentence. Or a paragraph...muahaha.

Here's my life: I am still living with Joanne, I am still in love with my church, I am going to terribly miss my friends here, and I have a boyfriend now who I will miss as well. But I suppose he goes in the friend category. Either way, I love the UK dearly and Edinburgh extravagantly, and really I feel as if half my heart will hang out here while I travel the rest of Europe for the next three months. Ohhh, what to do.

Haha, and that's my update. I know it's pooh, but there's life in a nutshell. Oh, and I've become obsessed with Lost (the first season...over here they're just now starting season two I believe; I'm watching DVD's).

Goodnight me dears, and I hope all is well in the life you lead.

Haha, I miss Scotland. I love my family, and my country is great and all, but I am more than ready to be back now. When has a place truly grabbed my heart like this small nation has? It's always been the people that made me love somewhere. But Scotland has something more than that, maybe it's just because I've learnt so much about God and myself and who I want to be. I don't want to be selfish Erin who has the two children, white fence, and a large SUV. Not even some day. Not ever. I want to be out there with people who are sincere and love their country passionately, only seeking its improvement and its welfare. I don't want dimwitted, arrogant, close minded people any more. I want life. I want to breathe.

And I am happy to be home. Well...a home of sorts. I'm in Heimkirchen, Germany. Let me just describe my little hamlet to you (or you can go look at my facebook where it actually has pictures); outside snow is all over the ground while inside my house is Christmasville. What does Christmasville look like? Oh well hold your horses, I'm gonna tell you. There is an abundance of red and green, both of which are trailing up the banister in leafy form, hanging on doors as lovely little wreaths, and all over Santas that make themselves known randomly throughout the house. Not to mention the fake scent of Christmas tree that smells so real that I can almost tune out the fact that ours this year is a phoney. But I'm not bitter (only slightly). Candles also decorate any empty space that has the audacity to look barren.

So this is where I reside; both picturesque and extremely homey. Because no matter how much decorations we put up and how much we sincerely look like a page from Real Livings Christmas catalogue, it still houses two of my favorite people in the world and they make this house a home. So yay Momma and Daddy. Or Mum and Father if I were some crazy Brit (you weirdos).

I suppose I might update this more frequently since I have time...not that I am go go go in Scotland or anything. But I will be back in the states Monday afternoon for the first time since May, so that's pretty exciting. Visit the old familia whilst enjoying the crisp Georgian air. Of course I think I've had a decent amount of crispness via here and the UK. Bloody freezing...
