Storytime.
20 minutes before we
left Thailand, I was sitting in Wongen Café and talking to Gabe (a YWAM-er
living in the village with us) and thanking him for letting me use his guitar
the whole month. And out of the blue he asks me if I want his guitar. I thought this is crazy! I told him I asked God for a guitar for Cambodia. And he said I
could have it. I was going to take it in a snap, but at the same time I was
hesitant. Selfishly, I didn’t want to carry it with me on the race. But at the
same time I knew I wasn’t supposed to take it. So I told him how God provided
me a guitar so far on the race.
El
Salvador – Our contact had one. The funny thing is that she didn’t know how to
play.
Honduras
– We were with our whole squad so guitars were plentiful.
Nicaragua
– Again, our contact had one.
Thailand
– Gabe had a guitar.
And he asked me,
“Is that something you want to trust God with?” I thought about it
quickly and genuinely, “Yes”. I do
want to trust God with this. And then got on the bus to go to Cambodia.
We get to Cambodia
and I find out about the team change. And my first response to the team change
was actually excitement because God had answered my prayer! Through my new team, God gave me a guitar. And
one of my other prayers was also to get better at guitar playing. And God put
me on a new team with two guitar players
to be my teachers!
I think that’s
partly why I had a lot of peace about the team change.
Please do pray for
my new team. Pray for unity, openness and a deep love for each other.Pray that God will
continue to grow me in worship.Pray for Cambodia!
