I’ve had a Beautiful Revelation

I’ve spent so much of my walk with Christ studying the virtuous woman while allowing myself to be intimidated by her, belittled by her mighty example and strength. But I’ve finally come to realize that despite what the world may think of me, I am the virtuous woman. Yeah, I said it. In fact every woman is her, it’s not a matter of becoming her, spending your life comparing yourself to the infamous woman of proverbs. It’s about realizing her example and finding your own way of becoming the virtuous woman God sees in you. I’ve worried myself sick about becoming...

So today has been quite the adventure and rather overwhelming. It started off with 8 of us catching a bus for a ride to the mall, splitting into smaller groups and ended up with 3 of us getting completely lost. In order to find our way back to where we were stayng in Kathu we started asking Thai people where to catch the bus and one after another kept saying "You have to go down Bangla. Go down Bangla." (This is the street of bars our main ministry will be on). So after attempting to find our team learder and exploring other options the 3 of us decided to brave it, prayed and...

Travels and Hidden Blessings

I had been meditating on this Word before I came to Thailand and training camp. I am also continuing to dwell in it now as I am in this new place with new family and new circumstances. “Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” Proverbs 31:25&26 What a wild past 4 days! I do not believe I have ever felt so tired, uncomfortable, or gone so long...

Unworthy, Unclean, but So Incredibly Loved

“You are fearfully and wonderfully made.” As I sat awake, in the middle of the night, on a 12 hour bus ride, I prayed and those are the words God gave me to speak to the women of Thailand that I will soon meet. Okay, so our journey from Atlanta to Phuket was many things, however, glamorous was not one of them. With three flights, 1 (LONG) bus ride, and lots of waiting adding up to over 60 hours of travel, we were all ready to arrive in Phuket Friday morning! Our journey was filled with exhaustion, a tiny bit of culture shock, and a realization that Thailand was finally, actually...

Walking in the power of the forgotten God

An excerpt from “Forgotten God” by Francis Chan” “The world is not moved by love or actions that are of human creation, and the church is not empowered to live differently from any other gathering of people without the Holy Spirit. But when believers live in the power of the Spirit, the evidence in their lives in supernatural. The church cannot help but be different and the world cannot help but notice” I started this...
