From the moment I landed in Dublin, God’s grace has been abounding.

I arrived in the city early Saturday morning, and immediately headed to the city centre to find my hostel, where they upgraded my accommodations for free. So after settling into my room, I headed out into the city to gather my bearings.

I meandered through Temple Bar, up Grafton Street, and around St. Stephen’s Green. After a quick nap back at the hostel, I received the news from my manager that I was bumped from the first show of my tour.

So I began praying, grabbed my guitar, and headed to the venue, hoping for a miracle. After arriving and talking with the bands who were playing that night, and the sound guy, I managed to find myself on stage doing a modest 2-song set. Which, if you ask me, is pretty good considering I wasn’t on the bill.

While I was there, I met a fellow singer/songwriter from Spain who just so happens to be in Dublin this week doing what I’m doing. After talking a while, we discovered that we were both slotted to play at the same showcase tonight. We even met up last night at a venue called The Globe where we each did a 20-minute set. I shared the Gospel with him. He listened and appreciated what I had to say, but didn’t believe. Please pray for Maurici.

Yesterday morning I attended a very friendly, Bible-teaching church here in the city centre. I met some wonderful people, received some much-needed encouragement, and even managed to sell a couple of CDs. When traveling the globe by myself it is absolutely vital for me to find encouragement from fellow believers, and hopefully encourage them in return. So a big “tanks” to Grace Bible Fellowship. You lifted my spirits.

It’s hard to believe that this is only my third day in Dublin. It feels like I’ve been here at least a week already. I can’t wait to see the ways God shows His grace throughout the week. And I can’t wait to tell you all about it.

Cheers.
