This month has been quite different. We served in an array of different settings from serving food at the Kawan drop in center for the poor to praying for patients at the Hospital with the Chaplens. This month was different, weird. Joy amongst our team came and went. It was never a constant.

This month I’ve been exhausted. My body has simplly had NO energy. No matter how much sleep myself or teammates would get, it would never sufice. For three of three and a half weeks of the minstry we did, my stomach was in shambles. Lots of medicine and two doctor visits later, no explanation could be had. My stomach was in bondage. One day when we came back from Monkey Beach it was raining, which in turn made an hour long air conditioned bus ride freezing. When we returned to our apartment my body was frozen, tips of my fingers were all numb and my lips had turned blue. All of my teammates were wet and cold from the bus, but no one had these symptoms. No one! If you know me well, I do not get cold very easily. I am one hot blooded lady so I knew something was up especially after the doctor said everything was working perfectly in me. Hmmm.
It is quite simple and easy to see-SPIRITUAL WARFARE! My team was not welcomed in Penang and Satan tried to do everything in His power to stop us. My eyes have been opened! As I sit here in Thailand attempting to process out Malaysia, I am finding that this is going to be a theme for my life…especially on the race. Never the less, I know I am equipped. I have all I need to fight this battle. God is on my side. Yes, the fight will be tiring and exhausting, but in those moments I must push on-we must persevere as a team. I have power and authority in the name of Jesus to take this beast by the horns.
