Life seems to be going by quicker and quicker.
I want to take in everything around me at all times and sometimes my scatter-brained mind gets distracted by little things and I miss the big things going on around me.
All this to say I'm starting month 6!! I'm almost half-way through my race. I'm at the point where race culture is the norm. It is normal to walk down foreign streets and see random languages on buildings. Its normal to be one of the only white people I see. (I actually accidently started following some random white people yesterday thinking that I was following my team…oops). Anyways, its normal to be outside of America. It is not normal to see a Burger King (man, I miss the whopper).
Well, I'm in Penang, Malaysia. We are staying at a YWAM base here and will find out tomorrow exactly what ministry will look like. Penang is supposedly one of the top 10 islands to visit in the whole world!!
God is teaching me a little about distractions and how to keep my mind focused on "things above and not on things of this world." Its hard. I have always been easily distracted. As a kid, my parents had to keep me on a leash (yes, I was a kid on a leash) because I would wander away if something caught my eye. Its something that I have even taken into my adulthood. If there is something that seems appealing to me, the Enemy uses that to distract me from what's really important.
So please pray with me that I don't get distracted anymore and that I can focus my mind and thoughts on things to further the Kingdom of God.
That's my little update on things!! Sorry if it is all over the place, my mind is running at 1000 miles/hour!
Love you all.
