Do I really hunger for more of God? Do I really want what I pray for? I ask for God to stretch me, to mold me into the man He wants me to be.
But do I really want Him to do it, do I want that pain…?
Spiritual stretching sucks. It’s always in ways that you’d rather not. This month is no different.
We are in the Eastern part of Thailand in Buri Ram, it’s the major city in a province of the same name. we are living with a family who has opened it’s doors to orphans to joing their family.
Right now there are 7 orphans and about 10 other people (parents, kids, maids, etc.) not including 6 YETI members, and a family of 5 from Australia. It’s a busy place.
Back to stretching… So a few days ago my laptop broke.
Now it flashes a questions mark when it tries to turn on, I tried a bunch of troubleshooting things to no avail. Any suggestions? God is teaching me that I don’t need my computer and if it is broken why bother worrying about it. It’s only money and possessions! Dying to my flesh is what I pray for so here it is in all its glory!
Patience is another lesson God is teaching me through some people this month. Not fun but I just pray it’s making me a better person.
I’m also learning more and more about ministry. This time in Thailand we have done mostly painting, English camps and lots and lots of cleaning. So that’s sometimes hard to get excited about. Not that this house doesn’t need it! It’s just hard to feel like you are serving the Lord when you are scrubbing iron bars for hours on end and sweeping the floor 3 times a day.
You know what God? Keep stretching me, BRING IT ON!!
