Limerick City and beyond

Yesterday was probably the nicest day I have seen in Ireland! The high was in the upper 60's with a beautiful array of sun shine! It was sunny the WHOLE day, which was so amazing! Simone, Amy, Jordan and I decided to take advantage of this beautiful day! We headed to the market in town, where they have fresh fruits and vegetables along with many other things. We spent a couple hours walking around and checking out what they had to offer. After we took a little walk along the river in town. It was so beautiful because you could see the green hills in the background while looking over the river. Most of the time you could not see any of that because it was either to rainy or cloudy. 

We headed back around mid-day to campus. The other girls wanted to take a nap, but I decided since it was such a wonderful day outside that I was going to forgo the nap and take a little walk down along the Shannon River that goes through campus. This little walk turned into a hour and half walk, but was SO worth it! I decided to take my camera along the walk and thank goodness I did. I had never taken the path before, but every step I took it was so beautiful! There were cute little stone bridges, trees covering the path you couldn't even see the sun and Swans! It was soooo beautiful, everything about the walk was so calming and wonderful! God was definitely at work on that path! I was walking along and I saw this beautiful swan in the river in the distance, so I went off the path and walked down a couple of stairs to the river edge. This was the cool part though... and what does the swan do, instead of swimming away the swan swam straight towards me. It was a beautiful thing! It is like the Lord, if we stray off his path even a little, He doesn't run away from us, He comes right up to us and will be there with us no matter what. He will be there when we get back on His path and in good and bad times. Seriously God is so good and is at work all around us! We just have to open our eyes and see what He has for us! So seriously I just am in love with His wonderful creation! Some pictures to follow from my walk...

I decided to add on of my favorite verses, I felt it fit perfect! 

Until next time...
