the best day of my life. so far

hiiiiiiii,

So, today I spent the day with Beth, Meg, Daniel, Josh, Ben, Mervin, and Karen and it was phenomenal. This family is so dynamic and awesome that I just had such a good day. We went on a walk and up a hill that basically allowed me to see all of Ireland + the ocean. I feel like I learned so much with just hanging out with all of them. Karen made dinner tonight and it was so good and healthy I was totally excited, it was lasagna. I went into an Irish high school (secondary) and it was so class. ;) I love how everything is so easily flowed and everyone is totally accepting. I am sorry this blog is scatter brained but it's hard to convey everything i'm feeling and experiencing with this. After dinner we had prayer group time and it was great to meet with all the adults that really do care about passion over talent which was really comforting and sweet. I will update in a week when I get back from camp and expect that blog to be even worse scatter brained, it's all good. To everyone that supported me in this trip: I seriously thank you from the bottom of my heart because now that the stress is gone, I am seeing how blessed I am from this trip. Please continue to pray for the hearts of the Irish kids that will be at camp, needing a passion for Christ and the hearts of my team and that we will be open and willing.

Oh, and by the way: If you don't love God, don't ever go on a 9 hour flight because you might die.




Love you,
Haley :)

ready & waiting to fall.

hiiiiiiiii,

It's 2:37 a.m. and I'm finding that sleep is very few and far between these days because of my continuous movement through the states. This past week I went to New Orleans, Louisiana on a Construction Mission Trip with my church. It was truly beautiful to see how God uses the regular to amaze me every single day. We had a great worship band that really stepped up (high-five, you guys) and speakers that reflected truth (JJ, Nicole- you're amazing). So many things we take for granted such as plumbing, a comfortable bed, and food on the table every day doesn't come so easy for everyone. It was eye opening and just a reminder of how much I seriously love people. Were so jacked up, and I love it. :)

So, at 7:00 p.m. on Monday Night I will be flying out of Houston and begin my adventure to the greeny place of Ireland with my bewfound friends Ashley, Patrick & Chris. When we get there, which will be a rough sowhat and hoobill hours (i'm so unsure, I can't even guess) we"ll meet Jared & Abby, who I can't wait to see! I am praying that God opens my mind and eyes and grabs ahold of me in a different way. I want to see people hear the truth. I love Jesus and I would love to share Him, seriously.

I'm not awesome at blogs like Abby, but for all those who have supported me in my trip, I thank you so sincerely. I love you so dearly and I pray for blessings on every one of you! I will update this deal when I can, I love you! :)


There is no fear where love exists. Rather, perfect love banishes fear, for fear involves punishment, and the person who lives in fear has not been perfected in love. -1 John 4:18 <3
