We have now been in Thailand for a week and words can not express it but I love it here, and the place has this weird connection with the people and the land here…
When we arrived we were mind blown at the fact that we would be staying at the resort, though the resort itself is not finished, the pool was. So here we are probably on our hottest month on the race and we were blessed with the pool, and not going to lie the pool feels really nice especially after a really hot day on the job of putting up the fence.
Now here we are working with the organization of Asia’s Hope who are fighting for at risk kids to have hope for a future. This ministry made me think a lot of the children we met in India, and I still miss them. But team relentless is here, and trying to figure what in the world the Lord is having us do because it was hard with understanding what exactly was our purpose here if we just build a wall and hang out and love on some kids…
This was something I was really wrestling with my Spirit because if I rested in Papa’s present I felt lazy, but if I was doing something I felt there is something more I can do… I can do more. And feeling as if I had failed because “what if I did not do enough?”
This wrestling match so intense in my Spirit tht I could not fall asleep at all one night. I stood up talking with Papa because I wanted answers and I wanted them now. It was almost as physical as if I was really wrestling someone. I would throw my thought out and God would respond with Love…Love really??? People are going to think I am a child of the 60’s with all this love thing you been teaching me…
I want to get my hands dirty and experience something new, but yet Papa calls me in a time to be still and watch Him work… God is so good at that kind of thing 🙂
Luckily my team and I are all wrestling and taking it to God to show us what it means to be all here for his glory.
So we have been doing some devotionals, trying to help kids with English as much as possible, and love and encourage the kids here and the contacts.
We are their first World Race group and we as a team want to make a solid start to this partnership. And God is doing His thing that He does best in reminding us that it is not about us and about physically seeing the work that you do. Which it is nice to do something and see the end result, but the Lord is calling us to love and to be faithful to whatever He has called us to be.
So I will let you know more as time goes. We will be going to some villages here this next weekend and I am very excited for.
Thank you all for your prayers and support and I pray that you continue to pray as we are learning to be faithful to what the Lord has called us to do this month, even if it is going outside our comfort zone… <3
Here is some of my team mates playing with the girls at the orphan home we are staying at 🙂
These are the kids singing at the orphan home. They were celebrating Easter Sunday with them and they sang some songs we knew in Thai…. especially one of my favorite songs. Above All 🙂
