Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
I have never excersised being bold before. I would sit back and watch others reach the podium with ease. Little did I know, the Lord wants to help me. He holds my hand and says “Do not fear; I will help you.” The Lord places me into situations where i am uncomfortable because He wants me to look to Him for help. At home, I was never stretched. I wouldn’t put my self into uncomfortable situations. I was never out of my comfort zone. I was quick to say no.
Our ministry is changing for next month and we had the opportunity to minister in the Chantabury Prison. I voluntered my self to share my testimony to the prisoners there. With out having any idea what I was getting my self into, I took the first step to the podium. For the first time.
When I first saw the twenty five prisoners I would be sharing my testimony with, I became so uneasy and nervous. My old self wanted to back out, but my new revived flesh was itching to reach those prisoners. I asked for the Holy Spirit to speak through me. As I reached the podium my voice was unstable but as I kept talking i spoke with certanity.
Every day is a new opportunity to be stretched and to be out of your comfort zone. Today was our last day teaching english at the Wat Tri School. Tomorrow we start over at a new school. I ask for you to pray for my team as we embark on another journey. New scenery. New teachers. New kids to witness to. A Fearless Journey.
This little boy goes above and beyond! He is one of my favorite kids to watch learn. He also is adorable.
Last day teaching our kindergarten class.
My favorite boys. They love to take selfies, sing, and to goof off.
