Change is coming! My time the past few weeks has been devoted to pondering the future. Recently I attended some meetings where God decided to illuminate to me a few words about His call on my life. All I can say is it is bigger than I first imagined. I left my recent trip to Thailand unsettled about certain areas…
Quick Rundown on the Thailand Trip
After spending some days resting, attending some amazing meetings where God spoke about my future, and even getting a small concussion from petting a cat, I have settled back into Houston. God has birthed something in my heart that I hope I can bring back to Thailand and help shake the country for Jesus. He changed me forever and I’ll never forget…
Update!
Aside from all that God is doing in me, I have done so much in just a short amount of time here in Thailand! This update is an overview of my first few weeks in Thailand as a missionary. Some of my updates are longer than others, but as a friend and supporter, I am sharing my journey on the mission field…
Thailand 2016
Greetings from Chiang Rai, Thailand! After quite the struggle to actually get here from Dallas, I arrived about 3 weeks ago and have been really pressing into God during this time. Even though this is my second visit here, I have learned so much more about Thailand than I did on my previous trip. Some of these things really put my…
Update
It’s been some time since I last posted anything, but many great things have happened since then. The end of the year posed more busy days for me than I realized. From finals to graduation, to raising funds in a very small time frame, to getting prepared for Thailand – I had, and have, much work to do. My deadline…
Return to Thailand
When I landed in Thailand this past summer of 2015, my spirit resonated the moment I touched the ground. I knew I was coming back and I knew God was calling me to this area of the world. Something about it just excited me to no end and in the end, I knew that was God saying “Hey, this is…
An Unexpected Turn of Events
I have been recently praying over an obstacle that was obvious in my pursuit of missions, especially in regards to my field school coming up in January. What I didn’t know is how God was going to address the situation at hand. His ways are mysterious, but amazing indeed. A couple of years back in 2011 I had some back problems…
Left Behind
Out of all the stories that could come from my trip over the summer, my favorite is this one. For those that know already, yes… This is the story of me leaving my passport on a bus and getting stuck in a foreign country, alone and away from my team. It was quite simple in reality. We would leave from…
Eye Opening Trip to a Thailand Orphanage
During my recent visit to Thailand, our group went to visit a most noble man. His story will be one to stick in my heart for a very long time. This man above is Joseph Tien. Forty four years ago, a war forced him from a southern province in China into the mountains of northern Thailand, far from modern civilization. Over time, he…
God’s Love
After needing some weeks away to spend with the Lord, I now have some time to update you on what happened in my trip to Southeast Asia (aside from the encounter with Jesus in the orphanage – which you can read about here). Our main portion in Thailand was speaking in schools. We would come in, entertain the children with games and songs, teach…
