Blog, hello.
Week one in Thailand. I have already been rocked by God, this country, and its people. Over the past week I have cried, laughed, felt loved, full , and so alone. Pruning hurts but it’s necessary to bear more fruit. I am thankful for all he’s doing in my life right now. This season is hard but it’s worth it. I love the people I’m surrounded by, and we are pouring into each other and learning to love each other everyday. Ministry has been AMAZING. Our team is working at Agape Home, which is a home for orphaned children with HIV. These kids are the most beautiful angels I have ever laid eyes on. Every one of them has a story and a beautiful future. Our day of ministry looks like sanding tables and painting a clinic. Our team has bonded so much over sanding and painting, it is so funny how God works in the little things as much as he works in the big things. At 2:30 the babies and toddlers wake up from their nap, and after that it’s game on. The sweet babies are in the stages of learning to walk, and it’s the cutest thing ever. It reminds me of my sweet little brother back home. The older kids are nothing but smiles and laughs. My teammate Abby talks to them constantly wether they understand her or not. It’s so sweet when they try to teach us some Thai, even though it is with little success. Thailand has been such a huge blessing! It’s crazy to think that we’ve been here for almost two weeks. The alumni racers are right, days feel like weeks and weeks feel like days. I’m soaking in every day, and I am trying to pick up my cross and carry it with me everywhere I go.
