I’ve made the half way point in the race and i can’t express how exciting that is. 5 months and 6 Counties traveled by Express Buses, Tuk-Tuks, chicken buses, 15 passenger vans, planes, conoes, horse drawn carraiges, moto-bikes, scooters, and lots of walking. It’s been quite the adventure and their has been no room to slowdown. The days are going by faster than ever before and now, months seem like weeks. I find myself asking questions like: where did the time go? I feel like I just unpacked last week? How am I going to leave the people i’ve just met? Did i make a difference?

This month I’m learning how to accept the challenges that are presented to me and own it. For example, I’ve had countless opportunites to preach, to sing, to dance, to give a word, to share a testimony. To be honest before the race I would have thought twice about standing infront of a group of people… not becuause i’m shy but because I didn’t feel confident in who’s I was.

I allowed thought of inadequacy to ruin opportunites for me to give a word or to simple read out of the word. But, now I welcome the feeling of being uncomfortable because i know it’s helped increase my growth. I make awkward silence an opportunity to pray aloud to the father and no longer will i silence my thoughts.

This month i’ve been surrounded with youth who are not ashamed to be Christian but are unable to live in complete freedom.

So with that, I have vowed to myself that I will no longer walk in silence but in complete BOLDNESS to make the truth known. To live a life in complete surrender, in freedom and above all Love.

Help pray for my last 2 weeks here in Vietnam.
