Greetings from Bray, Ireland. I hope this update finds you well. Here's the latest:
As I mentioned in our last update, Beth and I have been looking for an apartment. The lease on our current property expires at the end of January, so we decided to begin looking now. The market is very competitive so it's never too early to begin the process. We finally found an apartment in a town just north of us called Blackrock. This will shave 20 minutes off Beth's commute to work and still keeps us in close proximity to the church. The property is only a 6 minute walk to the train station which was an important factor when searching for a new place to call home. We will be handed the keys on Monday and hope to get things moved on Tuesday. We're glad to have this process behind us.
We've really enjoyed getting to meet new people here in Ireland. Cornerstone Church is filled with lovely people. Saoirse loves to greet people as they walk in on Sunday. She even took one gentlemen by the hand and walked him to his seat. Ha! Beth has been attending different functions for the ladies of the church and I've really enjoyed getting to know people on the worship team and in the Men's Monday Night Bible Study. We really feel the Lord has led us to Bray and Cornerstone Church. I've even been hanging with some guys who go swimming in the Irish Sea...the water is a balmy 54 degrees on most days. That's really cold...but it's a great feeling when you get used to it!!
At the end of the month I've been invited to speak at the ICEJ-Ireland meeting. ICEJ stands for International Christian Embassy Jerusalem. I'm very excited for this opportunity. In the past few years God has walked me through a heart transformation concerning His covenant people and what our response should be as followers of Jesus toward them. I'll provide a link below if you want to know more about the organization. I'm really looking forward to this ministry opportunity.
Beth is still in her "Adaptation" with the hospital. After the adaptation there's a good chance she'll be assigned to pediatrics--pre and post surgery. Beth began her nursing career at Children's Hospital in Knoxville, so she definitely has experience working with children. If it works out, I think this is a great way to minister to the people living in Ireland.
The Christmas season is upon us and to celebrate I've written 2 new Christmas songs. I'm hoping to have them released (Apple Music, Spotify, Youtube...etc) before the end of the month so be on the lookout for them. Christmas really can be a great time of year to meditate on the greatness of our God.
Thank you to everyone who is praying for us. We truly appreciate it.
