Remember Nhu

Remember Nhu takes girls that are at risk of being trafficked, as so many here are, and places them in a home to love them, care for them, give them food, shelter, and education before they can get involved in sex trafficking.  I heard somewhere that 90% of girls that are rescued out of sex trafficking go back to it, because that’s all they know. So Remember Nhu is preventing girls from ever getting involved in the sex trade to begin with.  They have homes in a few different countries. The past week we have been working with this organization. Me and Katie have been staying...

drop-in-center pictures <3

I LOVE THE DROP IN CENTER. these people are all Burmese the drop in center is right next to burma in a place called mae sia. the boy with the soccer ball is Moe Moe. He was so loving and hyper, it was really weird to hang out with these kids all day, and then at night see them begging for change to bring back to there parents. If they didn’t bring back enough change you can only imagine what will happen to them. and that’s why they try and get enough funding to send these children to schools, and children homes.   Oh my goodness this is Ah NAh. We all fell in love with...

God is so big!

God is so big that I can travel to the other side of the world and still find people to worship Him with. That blows my mind!  The same God that I worship at home in my church is the same God I sit in a hut in a village in Thailand and worship. That’s unreal!         As I was sitting in the back of the room where we were worshipping I was just overwhelmed by His presence. I just couldn’t believe that He is the same anywhere you go. He is just as awesome and good in the states as in a hut in Thailand. No matter where I am I can inter into His...

Baptized for real this time!

Baptized.  Dead to sin and brought up into new life.  How are we to speak truth to others without really knowing it ourselves?               I was baptized for the first time when I was about 7 or 8. I remember it pretty well. My parents were pastoring a church in the leasing office of an apartment complex at the time and we used their pool for baptizing. I can remember my dad telling me to hold my nose as he recited the the prayer over me while I went under the water. I knew what I was doing meant that I was showing everyone I was a...

Insanity at it’s best.

in·san·i·ty [in-san-i-tee] noun. 1. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Disclaimer: This is RAW. UNEDITED. EXPOSED.   I can get away with it this time. This time is different. No one needs to know what I’m going through. They wouldn’t care anyways. So I’ll just hide it. I’ll hide my pain. I’ll hide my jealousy. I’ll put up my shiny plastic mask again. Here goes another wall put up! “I’m fine!” I say. That’s what you say, right? And then I wait. I wait for someone to come find me....

Mae Sai

Mae Sai This town is near the Thai-Burmese border.  We didn’t see much of it except the bridge that leads to Burma and the Drop-In Center where we worked for the week.   There are the most amazing kids that live in between Burma and Thailand.  They go back and forth between the border begging for money.  Their parents, for the most part, are on drugs and don’t take care of them.   We spent our days in the Drop In Center.  We hung out with these street kids asthey filtered in and out of the center.  We hung out with them, laughed with...
