This month I expected to be working in the bar ministry. I am on one of the three all girl teams on our squad and I expected we would be picked to be working in the bars ministering to the girls who work there. However, our all girls teams was not chosen but the other two were. When I first heard the news, I would be lying if I said my heart didn’t sink and I didn’t feel a ping of jealousy towards those who were doing the ministry my heart desired. I was not happy.
Instead of working in the bars this month we are working in the coffee shop alongside the women who have been making our meals the past week. We will be directly helping serve our contact Emmi who just pours out Jesus and the Holy Spirit daily.
This month God has really been speaking the word “choose” to me. Choosing love over hate, choosing positivity over negativity, choosing to love the skies I’m under, choosing forgiveness over bitterness. He’s been speaking that I can control my reaction to every situation, that I can choose to be happy even when my expectations aren’t met.
So this month, I am choosing positivity and choosing to love where I am at. I am choosing to love my ministry and I can honestly say that I am so excited to serve alongside these Thai women here at Zion Café and to learn about their heart and their stories. I am so blessed to be right where I am.
