Heyooo!! I’m sorry, I know you have been wondering what’s been happening over in Thailand.. maybe not.. I don’t know, but I guess I’ll tell you anyways.
I am living in Ubon Ratchethani and the amount of faces & souls that I have encountered in Thailand are innumerable. We have been given the opportunity to minister to so many people. God has been using us in many different places in and around Ubon and we are very grateful.
The month of December has been full of Christmas outreach which has been absolutely delightful. Sharing the meaning of Christmas, celebrating, & spreading joy around is how our Christmas season is being spent! The Lord even used me to tell the story of Christmas to an entire school group who had never even heard of Christmas. Jesus is so super cool dude!
Recently the Lord has given me a new, very much needed revelation in my life. It is currently Christmas season & I am currently in Thailand, 9,000 miles away from Georgia which is where I have lived my whole life in comfort. As you would think, halfway through the third month away has me missing home.. just not in the way I thought I would. I do miss home but I also know I will be back home soon and I know I will be with my favorite people again, but what I have realized is that what I miss is what I am missing there. There’s been a fear of what I’m missing out on… which yes.. I know sounds ridiculous, being that I am living in Asia on the World Race.. but my feelings are valid. I am human, yes but God has made it apparent that He doesn’t want these feelings to consume me and the life that I am living. God is calling me into greatness, which is a life solely devoted and focused on Him. Why should I focus on things that I am missing if really I am not missing anything that I think I am missing, but I just don’t know I am missing right where the Lord has me? My focus on the worldly things that I miss has drifted my mind away from the present. This time that I have away from home, is not only to be of use in the growth of the kingdom, but it’s also a time for my heart to grow with God. God has been working through a lot in my heart but I will never be done growing. He is whispering always for my attention and I will choose to give Him my full focus. We must be willing to grow with the Lord and work at our relationship with him.
As I have been processing through this revelation, He has allowed me to see his incredible works. He has allowed me to see his heart in places I have never been comfortable with. God is taking me down an incredible journey with him and what is in store is already so incredible to me. I am so thankful for a merciful God who can take me out of fear and bring me into the present where He is calling me to be solely with Him and his daily revelations.
God has put this on my heart to share with you to be present. Wherever you are in life, focus on it. See where God is in it all. Bring him to the top of it all. Let him grow you and lead you every single day. There is a new revelation for you to seek at all times. I encourage you to ask the Lord for those daily revelations. Maybe you are being called to something that fills you with fear.. trust in the Lord. Don’t be afraid of what will be missed, anything that the Lord could have for you is unfathomably better than anything you could plan for yourself. He is faithful and wants so much for you. Our God is so so good and he will never fail.
Thank you all for praying and supporting me. Those prayers aren’t going unheard by any means. My revelations are coming as I am seeking.
-lots of love, Lyric ??
