Every time, I think I have begun to “figure out” the majesty
of the creator of the universe I am quickly reminded that – my finite mind is
not capable of grasping His Kingdom. And, more than anything I should be
delighted to remain in awe of His POWER.

 
I trust Him, even knowing… I will never fully understand Him.  I can rest assured knowing He is good
all the time. That is more than ENOUGH. His love is perfect and it never fails
us.

 Each month on the race I have had a sizeable theme that the
Lord has presented to me. This month, in Thailand … it did not jump out to me immediately.
 Which took me by surprise and I thought,
” What am I missing?“

Or maybe, “He is teaching me so many things I just can’t
narrow it down?“

Actually, this month has been more about Him and less about
me.   I begun to realize I had become more focused on myself than
the Lord.  It’s rather difficult to
listen your teacher’s wisdom when you are only thinking about yourself.

As I have wrestled and grown through:

Month 1: Brokenness
Month 2: Healing and Deliverance
Month 3: Freedom
Month 4: Prayer and Intercession
Month 5: He’s in Charge: Not me

I’m slowly learning to get over myself and get out of the
way.  Each of these themes is
applicable to my whole life, not just this season. God’s teaching me, it’s a
little easier and smarter to learn His ways, the first time around.

 
 

I don’t always do that… which is why some simple lessons
are coming back around.

“Though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach

you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again.”

Hebrews 5:12

 
We can never know enough about the Lord and His ways…
The Lord has continually shocked me this year.
Over and over again, I have no idea what I need and He knows exactly.
I often have no idea
what He is doing, but HE certainly KNOWS.

 

He knows when and why I didn’t learn
something the first time.  
 
He also
knows in advance when He is going to have to teach me again.  I was shocked yet relieved to know that
my ministry this month would look completely different than I had
expected. 
 
I anticipated that the
Lord would use me and brokenness of my past to be able to minister to women and
children enslaved by human trafficking. 
Surprise, the Lord knew my heart was not quite ready… the wounds would
be too real and I needed something different. 
 
Instead of taking me into the dark alleys of prostitution ministry-
the Lord took me into a ministry of immense light in Thailand. He took care of
me as His daughter and didn’t give me more than I could handle. 

 

 
He showed up and said,“If you didn’t remember…I’m IN CHARGE,
not just some days – but all of your days.”  HIS LIGHT ALWAYS SHINES BRIGHTER.  In Thailand, I have seen a passion and drive from a
generation of youth and children on fire for the Lord.  Selflessly seeking their Savior daily.

I have heard their laughter. Seen their HOPE. 
Witnessed their great LIGHT.
 

 

We have danced, painted and prayed together. We have walked
the markets… munched on goodies from seven eleven and sang and danced our
hearts out.  Once again, the Lord
knows exactly what He is doing. 
He’s entrusting the future of Thailand to youth and children that are chasing after His wisdom.

Watch out, here comes a generation of fruitful believers
that are unstoppable.  

They already learned the first time,
He’s IN CHARGE, and He
is good… all the time.

Their ready fore more… their ready for a great harvest…it’s going to be breathtaking.
