Please forgive me… I am just now beginning to write my first blog while in Thailand and we are getting ready to leave tomorrow. I am going to try much harder next month to write down my thoughts as I go instead of trying to remember them all later! I’m learning and it’s hard when I don’t enjoy doing it in the moment.
Thailand was a very different month compared to the first two. We are living in a house (still no A/C) with a bathroom inside and access to a kitchen. Ministry was pretty chill and go-with-the-flow on a daily basis. We taught English to some kids at a nearby school, spent a few days painting a church in a local village, went on a few prayer walks, helped clean and paint the house we are living in, and held a 24 hour prayer and worship meeting with another world race team living down the road. Our team recognized early on that this month would be about ministering to each other more than anything else. It would be a time and place where we could reflect on past months and dig deeper into God’s Word. There was a lot time for discussion, fellowship, sermon’s, podcasts, and music. All of which were awesome and holy-spirit filled!
Though it may look different from a typical month on the race, I’m incredibly grateful for the rest and opportunity to grow in unity and love with my team. I truly believe He has brought us to a place of genuine love for one another which has allowed us to speak life and greatness over one another! We have shared our hurts and brokenness, joys and desires together. God is moving in our hearts and casting a vision for our lives as we walk closer to Him everyday.
There is so much running around in my mind and I’m having a really hard time communicating them right now. There is a lot more to share but until I can figure out how to get it all out, here is a little bit about where I am. There is good stuff coming, thanks for being patient!
