After the first night in the bars I was hit with the question: all of those are good, Godly intentions but are they God’s intentions for me? At first disappointed, the answer was clearly no.
So let me share with you how my time in Thailand has been spent:
My days are spent loving on children. I’ve always been that awkward girl that doesn’t particularly like children so when God put me here I wasn’t super pumped. He broke my heart for them. I am no longer that awkward girl. I love them. I want to take them all home with me. My time with them is never long enough. I play with them, teach them English, and read them stories about Jesus. I’ve discovered that love really is a language. I communicate with them through hugs, laughter, and smiles.
This is Na Son, he has a piece of my heart. Some days he comes out, others he doesn’t but he always finds me. He runs into my arms with the most joyful smile. I pick him up and swing him around. It’s going to be hard leaving them behind, not knowing what their lives will end up looking like. Will their parents will force them into prostitution or will they begin working soon? I’m so thankful that I believe in a God that is GOOD. He has a plan for every child. He already knows what they will face and He wants the best for them, always. Praise God!
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone's holiday is full of love, laughter, and thanksgiving! Sending you my love!
