Jeremiah 29:11-13

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jer. 29:11-13

Still in Awe :-)

I am still in awe of being in this amazing, exciting country! I don't think there is a day that goes by that I say to myself "wow...I can't believe God brought me here!" I feel so blessed to be chosen by God to do His work in Thailand. I don't have much to update. I am doing well here with teaching. I absolutely LOVE my job!! I have taken a couple of trips to an orphanage here as well. Being able to love on babies has been so good for my soul! It felt so good to just pray over the babies and show them love and attention, even if it was only for a few hours. It breaks my heart to see so many of them...I wish I could just love on all of them!! I have also found myself in constant prayer lately. Not necessarily for myself, but just for the people of Thailand, my students, the teachers here at GES, family back home, etc. Will you pray with me? Prayer is so important to God's work and is so powerful!!!!

Thank you for all of your love and prayer as I continue on God's path here in Thailand. Here are a few pictures from this month :-)

    Nichole, I enjoyed your update on what's going on with you. So glad you are happy and doing well.

    I noticed a picture of the Bridge on the River Kwai. I immediately thought of the old movie by that name. Have you seen it? I found a piece of it on YouTube.
