There is so much on my heart and mind right now.
I wish I had the words to express to you all the things I saw and felt this month. But the only thing that seems to be going through my mind today is, this is it. Tonight will be my last night to walk down the red light district of Patong. My last night to give all the love I've got to my new friends because tomorrow I will be beginning the journey to Cambodia.
The women on Bangla Road that I have come to love so so much will be out of my life…
again…
This happens every month so you think I would be used to it by now, but the fact is I'm not.
This time it feels different though. I felt a connection with these women and more love and compassion than any other time on the race. I wish that I could continue to build the relationships that were started. I wish I could see the fruits of this ministry, the women come out of prostitution and into a loving relationship with their savior, but I can't. All I can do is TRUST. Trust that God has got this all under control and will take care of them. As for me, I have to move on…
move on…
Father, please give me the strength I need to move on to the next country. Forgive my selfishness when I fall into believing that my work here isn't finished yet. I know that this is your ministry, and you are just using me to help carry out your plan. Continue the work that you started here. Please protect these women Daddy, and bless them too.
