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...

We’re all a little crazy

Reflections

I can see why people think we are a little crazy for what we are doing. Right now I couldn’t even tell you what day and time it is. I can’t even narrow it down to AM or PM. I couldn’t add up how many hours I’ve slept, or even which country I slept them in. I’m not really sure if I’ve had three meals a day or if I’m drinking enough water. International travel is a whole new thing and it’s helped me piece together why people may think we are crazy. I’ve given up a bed, with known hours of sleep. I’ve given up my stepdads chicken and...

Team Update

Dear Parents, Family, and Friends, After 60 plus hours of flying, waiting, driving, and waiting we had finally reached Phuket. We were extremely blessed in Bangkok to have been met by members of YWAM Thailand to take us to the bus station. Out contact from SHE met us at the bus station and all 22 students and 3 leaders have safely made it to SHE with all of our luggage, praise Jesus! We are looking forward to meeting with Mark, Sharon, and Amanda (our ministry contacts) to see what our ministry day will look like here and we are eager to get started and see what the Lord had in...

Made it Safely

We just spoke with the team leaders and they've all arrived safely in Thailand. They are in route to their ministry site via some very long bus rides and will be settling in these next few days and getting some orientation from their host. Expect to see some blogs rolling out in the next few days as they find internet. Thanks for all the prayers for this team! The Passport field support team

Now I Know How Tourist Feel

Traveling is STRESSFUL. And interesting. And awkward. When we arrived in Chicago we were so amazed by these plastic, swirling, seat covers. And of course the crazy lights in the Chicago airport… And all of the people that got caught sleeping… On the way to Germany we were served dinner at 12:30 am and honestly, I had to watch the guy next to me because I didn't know how to eat it. Come to find out that the brown stuff is chocolate mousse and not refried beans… Next stop, Bangkok, Thailand! Sydney...

A Life Unappreciated

Psalm 127:3 says “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him.” What an incredible idea. That each of us is a reward to those whose homes God places us into- we are to have been treasured and watched over, protected and loved. God promises that he has a plan for each and every one of us, each and every one of his precious children. A hope and a future. Because of the life I have been so incredibly blessed to have lived it has been so easy to go each day without being truly thankful. Thankful in the stillness, thankful in the love, the protection, the...
