"Life Thru a Lens"

So, I haven't been on here for a while, things have been crazy around here with students starting to arrive for the school this FRIDAY! But I thought I would come on here (let you know I'm back!) and post a few photos from our trip to Amsterdam.

This was the view that my window offered the first morning I woke up, the Dutch architecture is beautiful...


No, your eyes aren't deceiving you! That IS a multi-storey car park for bikes!! I actually really loved the bike culture in Amsterdam, it just seemed like a nice way to get around (even if i DID nearly get knocked over several times...)


This is just a picture of Erin (my fellow traveller and ALMOST roommate!) in front of some of the canals that run all the way through the city:


The YWAM base where we stayed. Quite a contrast to our small community of houses in Belfast! This is also is only one of four buildings that YWAM owns and works from in Amsterdam! Incredible to see the growth that has taken place in this group and the incredible work that can be done here because of the facilities that they have...quite an inspiration to see YWAM Belfast continue to grow and spread the word of God in Belfast.


I'll leave you with my favourite picture of the trip, the canals really were beautiful in the city. It was an inspirational trip for me, a chance to gain a wider vision of YWAM worldwide and to meet some people seeking to live in a similar way I'm trying to do here. It's nice to know we're not alone on the edge of Europe here! That though we may be few, we are part of something greater, YWAM international, and also, the greater Kingdom of God.
