I am going to Thailand. Right Now.
Sitting in the airport in Qatar. Right Now.
Savoring my tea as I watch people stroll by. Right Now.
“Perhaps this is the moment for which you’ve been created.” – Esther 4:14
Right now I am taking the first step into the next chapter of my life. I know for a fact that this is where God wants me to be, there is no doubt about it. He created me with this moment, this right now, in His mind.
This period of goodbyes and transitions is harder than I could have ever imagined. The reality of how long nine months really is has hit me hard. I miss home and my family and it has not even been a week yet. I’ve cried more tears than I ever knew I had in my body. Nothing in my life for the next nine months will be the same as it once was, except for God.
Right now is my chance to fully rely on Him for the first time. I need to be like Peter and step out of the safety of the boat into the great unknown. Jesus will be there to make sure I don’t sink.
We have one last seven hour flight to go before we arrive in Bangkok! After a few days of cultural training as a squad, teams will be dispersed all over the country for ministry. My team, Breath of Life, will be located in Klaeng Rayong! Please keep us in your prayers as we finish our travel, get settled in and rested up. We would also love if you could pray that we will get used to life away from the comforts of home and family.
With love from Qatar,
Jill
