Travel Across Ocean + 1st Day

I am utterly exhausted and told myself I would not stay up doing this blog. But alas, I have little self control and don't want to forget details. This blog will not be a book, but an account for me (and those who care to know) about this trip. I have clearly been called to Wales for the summer, and I know that God has a plan. This blog will hopefully unveil it by the end.

Travel:
-Woke up on Tuesday morning in the states at 6am. I traveled for approximately 8 hours in the air, but spent a total of 10 hours waiting in airports during layovers. I am just going to bed after two days of only sleeping three hours. And if you know me, you will know that I cry a lot and get groggy when tired. Hence the reason I should be asleep now.
-I felt very alone in the airports as people speaking numerous languages passed around me. This loneliness pushed me to do three things. I people watched ALOT. There are some unusual people that have been in the image of God out there. I read and prayed and journaled. I literally wrote ten pages in my journal today. Reading through the Bible and the "Heavenly Man". Listening to CJ. I talked to people beside me. Most probably considered me too forward, but I loved finding out where people were from and listening to their stories. One woman held onto my arm and would not let go for a good chunk of time.

Arriving
-Got here. And was met by the Grahams. They are wonderful. They brought me food (which I scarfed because I hadn't wanted to buy food in the airports), a book, and a card. We chatted all the way to the pub where we ate delicious food and drank a little beer. Visited the church. They are renovated a beautiful old catherdral in the heart of the town. It blows my mind.
-Came to the house I'm staying. The Hands are a wonderful family. I cannot wait to post more about them.
-Went to a pub with some married ladies in the church. However, as I ate and drank, I grew more tired by the second. I literally was falling asleep as I listened to them.
-Came home and cried a bit. God is working, but I am fighting selfish desires to please myself and make myself comfortable. Please pray I continue to look for ways to keep my eyes on others. And oh. Please pray for a revival in this town. That is what I'm praying for.

Anyhow. More to come on specific thoughts and ponderings, but wanted to provide an overview.
Love to you
