On Wednesday Jacqueline and I went on an adventure with my host family, Emily and Nathania Mc Dermont. First they took us to Malahide to see the mini castle and play at an amazing playground, next to Howth to have dinner at a chipper (fish and chips) and last to Dollymount beach. I have had a blast getting to know this family, they have been truely kind to me an I am going to be sad to leave them.

As the week moved forward I began to realize my time here was declining...

It made me quite sad due to how much I love Abbey and the many great relationships that I have made here. I began to worry and I realized my thoughts were turning to worry too much. Do you ever find that you do that? Try to control something that you really cannot control like time.

I had to revert to this passage and I just wanted to share it with anyone who had been reading:

Mathew 6:24-34

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
