It's March tomorrow. Wow. We've been here about 40 days. Last night I kind of realized how tired we are going to be by the end of this trip. Yes, before coming, I knew it would be stretching and hard and everything, and that's good, it should be. Being here should not be easy or comfortable. But last night, driving back from Bangla, I started to realize what that will look and feel like. So please pray for me and my team, that we would be daily choosing to give God all that we have, and that we be leaning on his strength.
Funny story: My team (Amber, Saraw, and Sabrina) were sitting at this little circular table at a bar, talking to these two girls, Deuan and Noi. Then this white guy pushes his way in between Amber and Saraw and starts talking to Amber and getting all up in her faces and everything. Saraw on the other side of him starts mouthing, "What the…" So Deuan and I look at each other and start sniggering/giggling at them. Then I turn to Noi on the other side and we do the same. Sure, it kind of stunk for Amber as she had this guy's arm around her shoulder, but it let me and the girls have something to laugh at and relate about. And we're probably having lunch with those girls tomorrow 🙂 So pray that that would work out, and that the converstions would be good and productive, and that we would be able to let these women know that they are not objects to be used by men, but individuals loved by God.
