DISCLAIMER: I have been traveling for about 62 hours. I extend my apologies ahead of time if my thoughts are not coherent…  “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” -2 Corinthians 12:9 Grace. God’s amazing grace is the only reason I am functioning currently. I may be a bit delirious at the moment, but I am happy to report that I am well…happy. However, it would be impossible not...

This past week my team and I spent some time prayer walking at a Buddhist temple on the island where we are now living. As I prayed, God asked me; “Why do these people worship Buddha?”   I thought about it. Well, they desire good luck, a longer life, or a better future and hope that by their works, they will please Buddha and he will grant them a better life next time around. There is little hope to be found in Buddhism.   Then God asked; “Now, why do you worship me?”   As I thought about my answer to this, I began to praise God. I worship you, Lord...

One night a couple weeks ago as my team was leaving Bangla I felt God telling me: “I am not done on Bangla.”  We were almost to the end of the street, so I stopped quick and looked back. “What more do you have for me God?” But though I turned and looked, I didn’t see anyone I felt called to talk to, I didn’t see a street I felt called to walk down, I didn’t feel called to do anything. So I turned and continued walking off the street. Once again I heard God say, “I am not done on Bangla.” I turned again and looked down the street....

Last Friday night my team was leaving Bangla road. We were done for the night and heading to our meeting spot in order to head back to the house. As we walked back, Thai men and women would come up to us with posters wanting us to come to a Ping Pong show in the bars. Now here in Thailand the term Ping Pong show does not refer to table tennis, but strip shows. Most tourists ignore these people who advertise and won’t even look at them but my team has made a point to look, not at the poster, but at the face behind the pictures and smile and say no politely.   As we walked back, I...

      When you think of love, what comes to mind? The butterfly's that you feel when someone touches your hand or maybe when you lose your breath when someone walks in the room, or my personal favorite you quote the verse "love is patient, love is kind…" And that's all you quote because that's all you remember. Well that's what I used to think too, until God ripped me in two and shoved the truth of love in me. It's not all flowery and only for women who watch chick flicks, it's actually hardcore....
