I'm gonna start my description of my adventure out here with my heart. I'm so blessed to have found an excellent church here in London. ChristChurch in London is a relatively young church and services are held in Piccadilly Theatre a busy sector of Central London, where Grease is being performed at the moment.

Before I came to London, I prayed for a church and community that I could continue to grow in God with. He has brought me so far, he is my heart. I just wanted that to continue even though I would be in another country. I may have been alone but God was always with me even though I may not have recognized it initially. I wanted a community of people in London who worshiped God and knew of his steadfast love. So I did a search for spirit-filled churches in London. Several churches came up but ChristChurch stood out.

I decided to go to the service and it blessed me so much. Beyond the service, what astounded me the most was the love that was oozing out of the Church members and the welcome I was given made me feel right at home. They were genuinely interested in me and my well being. To make the story short, I have found a family here in London. I have made friends that I will keep for a lifetime and beyond. We are encouraging each other and letting God take us to the next level. I thank God for this church and this community. Their faith, love, and hope is amazing.

God is omnipresent. He is everywhere and everyday my eyes are being renewed daily to see more of his glory. I have seen his love overflow in the people here and pour into my life as I pour back into theirs. Through my experiences here, I know that I will never be alone in this world no matter where I go, and that has been his promise, only now realized as I reside in London, a foreign land.

I know the U.S. has been called a melting pot but I think title needs to be taken back and given to London. There are so many different people almost every other person is from everywhere but London. So many different languages are spoken all around me. The beautiful thing about this is that from my perspective differences are accepted by all here. I love the diversity here. With all the differences, I was looking for a tension in the air - maybe one I knew too well coming from home but it was absent. Instead, I received an i-don't-carism from the atmosphere. We are all different. So what? That is what I hear bellowing although it maybe that I have not been here long enough, but I'm loving it.

I recently went to Brighton, a town near the coast of the sea it was very relaxing and enabling me to see a different aspect of London - one that isn't busy and congested with people. It was beautiful. I had the opportunity just sit on the beach and let the water wash over my feet, listen to the waves, and still my heart. After visiting this town, I had the opportunity the next day to go on a cruise down the River Thames, seeing all of London in the twilight. And at night it was glorious sight. The boat was rented by my new church, ChristChurch, and it was social event for any and everyone. It was cool to party on the river and see most of London through the cloak of the night.

I'm gonna be heading to Scotland in a few hours to return Saturday night. I will be writing a blog updating you all about Scotland and the rest of my life here soon. I'm really loving it here, but I feel guilty because I miss all of my friends and family. I wish you all were here with me. I see myself living here eventually - if my salary can handle the prices. But it will have to be in God's will. I feel like I love too many people back home to move out here, so we'll see. I love you all, and I will be updating you all much more frequently.

I've been crazy busy. I have to do school work, too. lol. Isn't it funny how that came last and not first. Pray for me. I need motivation to do work out here. lol.

I'll be updating you all again soon, God Bless You All! I'll be doing a blog chronicling my journey thus far in solely pictures soon.
