“He reached down from heaven and rescued me; He drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and were too strong from me.” Psalm 18:16-17
Dear Daddy,
You are changing each one of our lives already on this trip and we have only been in Phuket for three days. We have a unity that is already there, because we already have one thing in common which is the eagerness and wanting to know you more and our love for you. We only wanted to have a short team meeting, but all of us were able to open up and share what Satan has really been doing in our lives, building walls that we all kept a secret, and hearing and believing that we are the only one with fear, and the belief that we are inadequate for this trip. In the name of Jesus, break those chains. Thank you so much for putting me around such great women of God that are going through the same thing as me, and willing to push me, comfort me, and encourage me. Thank you for bringing women in my life that you are shaping to be that women of God that you called us to be, and each of us have different stories, hurts, desires, dreams, and we all can bring something to the table.
Daddy, I am already amazed by your beauty on this trip, no other way to describe it. I am left speechless. Back at home, we take so much for granted and are unappreciative of the things that we have, while people around the world are living from garbage and the littlest things. Daddy, you gave them the beauty of the trees, the mountains, and the love of family and friends and that is enough for them that makes them happy. It’s a complete culture shock, and makes me realize how much you really love us. We are so undeserving but you still love us unconditionally. Daddy, I can’t wait to know you more and let you work in my life and show me how much I am blessed, and how much I take for granted. I love sitting and just people watching in Phuket because you can see how they still are happy, even if it is hot, sticky, humid, with bugs bugs bugs that are EVERYWHERE, dirty water, not being able to flush toilet paper, the list could go on and on, but they are still happy and grateful for the things they have. Daddy you gave me the wonderful life with so many things to be thankful for, my friends, family, running clean water…the list could go on and on, but now I truly understand the word blessed, and that is just from being in Phuket for three days.
I cannot wait to come home, and people wonder why I am different than when I left because they see that joy and happiness even more than when I left. Daddy, its going to be because of you, I will be more like the woman of God you want me to be. I want people to ask me why I am different, and why I look so much happier so I can share what you have done in my life, because it will change other lives.
Ministry starts tomorrow, but Daddy thank you so much for breaking chains our own chains, because then we can really show love, friendship, and minister to those girls. Thank you so much for dying on us and letting us lay our burdens before you, and letting you take care of them. THERE IS FREEDOM COMING!!
In your precious name, Amen.
Love you,
Your Beautiful, Worthy, Loved, Forgiven daughter
