Traveling to me is utter pain. Why would I go on th World Race, you may be asking? It is amazing at how God will tell you to go. God may tell you to do, but you don’t want to. I decided to be obedient and follow God.
Being in Thailand is awesome. I love the people and the culture. I am enjoying myself, but would love to be in a house with a normal bed and a couch. I am amazed at how much this scene would be great right now. I miss my house. I could even handle a little air conditioning at times. This is not what God is asking fo me. He is asking me to go out, work, and do jobs that I hate. He has told me ‘you will be out of your comfort zone.’ ‘You will struggle. Your are going to be stripped, but I will take you from this and grow you into a lovely woman that will be able to hear my voice and do what I want you to do.’ God is telling me that this may be your life for a long time. My selfish self would love to say I will go back to my old comforts at the end of the year, but God is telling me that this may be my life for a long time. He wants to strip me of all comfort in order to build me up. God will grow me into a different person, step by step this year. It will not be easy for me. I will struggle since I hate traveling. I will struggle with each place that I will go, but I cant wait to see who I am when I am done in a year.
SIDE NOTE
I am at a farm right now. It is very rural area. We have been planting pineapple trees, cutting grass with hoes(everyone should try this), and building a garbage area. We will be at a school for the next 3 days, teaching English and maintanence. We will help with the church services and any ministry opportunity that is asked of us.
