Hello! I am adjusting and enjoying my time in Thailand! I wrote a simple poem about what it’s like here. Hope you enjoy.
So, this is the world race.
Sweaty smiles
Bare feet on cool, clean tiles
Warm hugs
and
Weird bugs
So, this is the world race.
Missing peanut butter
And my mother.
So, this is the world race.
Waiting on the bathroom
Brushing your teeth with your water bottle
Dealing with all the smells
So, this is the world race
Living in community
When traveling is new-to-me
So, this is the world race.
New foods
Same struggles
always on the move
So, this is the world race.
New friends
Same desire
Learning to go where He sends
So, this is the world race.
Silly mistakes and missed connections
Jesus daily destroying misconceptions
Of the box you have put Him into.
One day to look back at how you grew.
I’m still unsure
But from what I gather so far…
This is the world race.
Tried and true
Embracing the new
One week in, chasing wind
Walking with the Lord
Fast or slow
Stay or go.
Seeking His pace.
Learning new tastes.
Yes, this is the world race.
With love,
–Lexi
