Delivered and Set Free

“In the day when I cried out, you answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.” Psalm 138:3 You know what is great about our God? HE FORGIVES!! It doesn’t matter what you have done, the Lord has already forgiven you. He knows what you wore your 3rd birthday, knows where you sat on the bus today, he knows what you were thinking about in 1st period lecture that wasn’t Biology, and he knows that you will end up living on Hartford Street in the brown house in the third one down even...

Lanterns in the Sky

This ministry is hard. I know that should have been obvious coming into it, but man it really is HARD, and it’s hard in a way that my team couldn’t have prepared for even if we tried. Thursday, I asked the Lord to really let me see the brokenness on Bangla Road. Well, He delivered that’s for sure! As soon as we walked on to Bangla Road, my ministry team decided that we needed to pray a little more before we walked into a bar. As we were praying, we noticed a lantern in the sky, which just so happens to hold a beautiful promise to me: See, the first night we went to...

1.the public bathrooms in a foreign country: can I flush the toilet paper? Will they provide toilet paper and soap? Answer: no. instead: some places have hoses to clean yourself with! Interesting experience… Or you use a squatty potty for a cleaner release lol or you just throw the tp away. needles to say, my first experience in a public bathroom scared the poop out of me (sorry, pun intended 🙂 ) 2.being a person of minority in a foreign country: we’re famous! We get honked at all the time. Especially when there’s an entire truck full of farong (foreigners). It’s...

Thailand, or the Mulan Soundtrack?

You’re the saddest bunch I ever met But you can bet Before we're through Mister, I'll make a man out of you So being here in Thailand it has felt like we are living this exact theme. We came to training camp these weak individuals not at all ready for the battle that lay before us. I am sure that God was thinking that exact first verse at times—that we were in fact just sad, it was sad that we could think we were ready for this. But he promised that he would not send us into the heat of the battle unprepared—he promised that essentially he would...

Wrecked

I've never been more physically, emotionally and spiritually exhausted, but I've also never been more in love with MY Prince. I've never been more in love with the thought of dancing with Him for an eternity. What an amazing illustration of His divine love for each of His princesses. And what an amazing thought to know that He loves each of the bar girls that I witness to at night JUST as much. But His heart is broken for them, He longs to hold them, nurture them, breathe life into them. They are bound by the spiritual chains that satan has locked them into. The...

Who knew that digging and hoeing at a clay mountain in the heat of Thailand, with wonderful teammates would bring so much joy and laughter to my heart? Who knew that people I have only know for a few weeks, would encourage me and pour into me more than some people I have known for years have? Who knew I would begin making long-lasting relationships with so many wonderful women of God in such a short amount of time? Who knew how much, slushies, ice cream, French fries, and toasted bread with sugar and butter would comfort me here in Thailand? Who knew the very interesting things I would be...
