Hey Everybody,
First off I want to say Happy Valentines Day!!!! So much has gone on since I have last
written, and I apologize for not keeping up to date with you. I have good intentions, and horrible
follow through.
Well, my team and I are back in Thailand. Cambodia was a good month, however I
will say that it was not my favorite. I was sick for 2 out of the 3 weeks of ministry that we were assigned,
however God even worked through this. As I was not particularly fond of our ministry, which was teaching English
classes and visiting homes in rural villages, my ministry became my team. Whether I was laying on the floor sick,
or in a hostel, God continued to speak to me about my team, their gifts, the
things that He has planned for them, and etc. Let me tell you, it was amazing! I was able to spend those 3 weeks praying over my team, and
speaking life over them.
He is taking our team to a new level and I can’t wait to
share it with you as it progresses.
After Cambodia we had debrief. It was sooo wonderful to see Mike and Patti Paschall and the
whole squad. There is a strength
that rests when our squad as a whole comes together, and I always pull so much
from it. It was truly a week of
rest, relaxation, and worship, as well as filling each other up, speaking life
over each other, and debrief as a team with Mike and Patti. Also we were very blessed to be by the beach. As Ms. Laurie once said to me, “It just
seems to be easier to hear God by the water”, and I couldn’t agree more. The 2 times that I have been by the
water on this trip, whether lake or ocean, God speaks to me in such a beautiful
and comforting way… I think that it reminds me of home!
Like I mentioned above, we are back in Thailand. We are leaving tomorrow to do ministry
with a church in the lower part of Thailand, on the Cambodian / Thai
border. Here we are supposed to be
working in the local prison leading bible studies and encouraging them. Also, we may have an opportunity to
work with the local hospital, meeting with patients that have HIV or AIDS. We will also work with the church in
other areas of ministry that are in need of help.
Thank you all for your prayers… I genuinely am seeking to be
better at this whole blogging / journaling thing, so I intend for there to be
several more blogs to follow up with shortly!!!
Blessings to you all, and remember this Valentines Day,
whether single, dating, or married, that you are the Beloved of God!!
