The title of this post means “God be with you.” That is a common greeting in Irish. Before I go on, note: I only have my phone and limited wifi access, therefore expect this to be a short, maybe choppy, post. Right now I am in the middle of a sonship course in Greystones. Greystones is a beautiful place and the sonship course is a deep look at our blessed adoption into His kingdom. I've been meeting a lot of cool people and learning some really sweet, in the traditional since, things. We cannot earn God’s love, it is not given to us through clinched teeth but freely and with pleasure. Know, truly know, two things: you are hopelessly wicked and God is miraculously good. Good in such a way that your hopelessness is redeemed despite yourself. From working out of those two truths you have the pleasure to accept God's invitation to pursue disciplines to spend intentional time with your savior like praying, scripture reading and study time as well as fasts and the like. If you express these disciplines outside these two truths, it leads to hopelessness that you are not allowing God to heal. So that is a little of what I am learning. We are also working along side Irish interns, which has been a cool cross-cultural experience. In this setting it is easier to see how I let my culture define my faith rather than my God. There is a load more going on but texting is hard and it will take more time than I have now to explain it well. Thank you all that helped me get here and be praying for me, the other interns, and the people we will interact with.
