Life has been so colourful lately, overflowing with beautiful places and people. Mum came to visit which was lovely to show her round my life and my home here. We had a glorious day at the North Coast then lots of time to natter about the happenings of life.

Then Easter crept up and four of us packed up the tents and road tripped down the West Coast of Ireland, staying in Donegal the first night, then working our way down the Wild Atlantic Way; stopping off at beaches and cities until we reached the Cliffs of Moher in Co. Clare. There was an N.Irish, an English, a Pakistani and an American; lots of excitement about sheep, my first swim in the Atlantic ocean, sunshine and pouring rain, a leaking tent, stargazing by the sea, ukulele playing in the car and armfuls of friendship.

Wednesday we arrived home tired but filled with awe at the workmanship of our creator. Then straight into setting up for Team 10's, fundraiser formal. Team 10; the group of young people I am co-leading with David through Exodus. This involves weekly discipleship leading up to a mission trip to Romania in July. It was a great evening; David and my first formal together and we were responsible for and catering for 90 young people, but God was faithful in meeting us at the task and all went smoothly. We are greatly blessed with this opportunity to do ministry together and excited about this group of young people we seek to invest in.

Life is certainly rich at the moment and it seems to be only getting richer, so God's word tugged at my heart when I read this challenge to not look to these blessings but to Him; to not fill my heart with the created before the creator;
"If riches increase, set not your heart on them." Psalm 62:10
