So yes it’s been a while since I wrote a blog… sorry but now you should have a few coming for ya and probably a little out of order. Enjoy!
Last week we started to reflect on our time in Thailand. As a group, we were given questions or prompts to answer. I mainly focused on 3 questions; what were blessings these past 2 months, how can I live more intentionally, and how can I refocus? So I’m just going to share what I wrote down for all of those.
What have been some blessings in Thailand?
-Wildflower Home
- Sister Elena, Kaew, Mai, Ja, Holly, Upin
- Getting to do ministry with team Yes
- Growing in relationships with people from other teams
-Connie’s Home
- The chance to do ministry with only my team after growth with another team
- The smiling faces of our little kiddos
- Laughing with the kids at so much of the random stuff they said/did
-Zion Hostel

- Growth in friendships
- Being in the city
- Having some air conditioning part of the time
- Growth from having to live with so many people in such a small space

How can I live more intentionally?
-PRAY
- Pray about everything all the time
- Pray every day, all day
- Pray big prayers
- Pray for everyone
-Treat every day like a ministry day
- Every day is a good day to tell people about Jesus
-Show everyone kindness and love no matter what
-Know that I am His child and I am so loved by Him
- Live through His love
-Have real conversations more
-Make time, take time
How can I refocus?
-The Lord told me to “remember why” so I created a list of questions of why
- Why do I worship?
- Why do I pray?
- Why do I love?
- Why do I read the Bible?
- Why do I love the Lord?
- Why am I here?
- Why am I doing this?
- Why do I struggle?
- Why do I have my quiet time?
- Why am I free?
