Last night was my first night "in" as a Dubliner. I decided to cook dinner and watch a few movies on my lap top. I ended up having a very lengthy Skype conversation so I was up much later than I had expected, but it was nice to chat "face to face" with a friend. I didn't set my alarm this am because I usually wake up so early, but of course I didn't wake up until 9:40 this morning. This wouldn't normally be a problem, but since it takes 20 minutes for the water to heat up, I was pressed for time. I ate a quick breakfast and took a cold shower before heading down to the Methodist Church on my street for morning worship at 10:30.
The service was comfortable. There were only 30-40 people in the congregation. Several people greeted me and then after the service we had tea and coffee in their fellowship hall, something they do regularly. I met a woman who is from Seattle but moved here about five years ago and she's working on her PhD at UCD, which is where I was looking. She had some great suggestions for me and I think I may wait on the PhD but do a second Masters here (which I can get in a year) and use towards my PhD later. I think it may be my best bet.
I'm so happy to have been to church and I'm so thankful that the Lord has his plan all worked out for me and that little by little, it will be revealed to me. It's very comforting to know He's got it all under control.
