Rest in the Darkness

Disclaimer: This blog was written a few weeks ago Leadership is probably one of the hardest things I have ever done, but it has been one of the more rewarding and growing things I have ever done. Being here has put me right in my element and completely out of my element all at the same time. All my life I have carried people’s burdens. Before I knew what the Holy Spirit was and how it worked I was always one who worked off of people vibes and I would sometimes physically feel the way people were feeling emotionally. People’s emotions always had a...

I have seen, now I am responsible.

Prayer is this crazy enigma of power flowing from our lips that knocks down demons and flees straight to the Father’s ear. He hears it. Every time. And then guess what? He answers it. Every time. No prayer returns void. Ever. That’s it, no exceptions. And, if I’m being honest, I definitely did not fully believe that a few months ago. Apparently, it was something I had to fly halfway around the world to learn. I used to have this spirit of complacency while praying, but I recently found myself on the ground...

Home Is Where the Heart Is

Home is where the heart is. It’s an old saying, but I know that it is true. I know my home is back in America, at least for now. But I think, in a way, Thailand has become my home now too. There is no way I can leave this place and not leave part of my heart here. I think one of my teammates described what I’m feeling right now perfectly when she said “I think growing up means learning how to leave pieces of your heart in different places.” I do miss home a lot, and I have the whole time I’ve been here. But at the same time the thought of leaving this place...

The Lion Of Judah

When nothing is going right, sing to God, the Lion of Judah. The Lion of Judah’s thundering deep Roaring down the walls of fear in me And from deep inside the battle cry You Roar WOAH! The Lion of Judah’s (God) thundering deep Roaring down the walls of fear in me (giving us grace; forgiving all that is everything bad, everything unholy in my life, every hardship, every sin) And from deep inside the battle cry (when it gets hard, gets tough) You Roar (calling us home, Judah still obeys, and is faithful, bringing us out of the depths and...

“Timing is Everything.”

“God have I been out of my comfort zone long enough?” That question rolls through my head all day, every day, during the past two weeks when I am working at Koh Sirey—aka the Land. After being told to climb in the swamp to clear the waterway, I began to complain, making it my job. No matter how badly I did, it was still mine. Being the nature girl that I am (sarcasm) I was chosen to work with the Hook of Death, Machete of Hope, Hoe of Retribution, and the Claw of Doom in a dirty, musty, smelly, muddy infested swamp. A little background…Koh Sirey is land that...

Beautiful Souls in Tuk Tuks

God continues to amaze me and teach me every single day that I am here. Sometimes He teaches me through His word, sometimes through the Holy Spirit, and sometimes through other people. I never once thought that He would teach me through a Thai woman in the back of a tuk tuk. Today my ministry team and I were supposed to have two dates with different girls in Patong. Unfortunately both dates fell through due to...
