For Serious Y'all.

Okay, time to get serious. This is the first blog entry where I feel somewhat legit, it being the night before my journey and all. I can only imagine how warranted a blog entry will be when I am actually IN Ireland.

Update: I did manage to pack, but not without distress. I don't like packing. I do like adventures. Sometimes we have to pack if we want to go on adventures (even though adventures could prove more adventuresome if forced to improvise because you didn't pack).

When not packing, I spent today saying good-bye to some friends and family. And in the process I have decided that I have just about the best family and best friends a gal could ever ask for (if you're reading this blog, that's probably you!).

I'll write again FROM Ireland!

Leave me alone with God
as much as may be.
As the tide draws the waters
close upon the shore,
make me an island, set apart,
alone with you, God,
holy to You.

Then with the turning of the tide,
prepare me to carry Your presence
to the busy world beyond,
the world that rushes in on me,
till the waters come again
and fold me back to You.
