Sweet Home Alabama: I'm Coming Home to You

I apologize to all my readers. It has been a long time since I last blogged. I have been super busy these past two weeks. Things seem to keep getting busier and faster as my time of departure approaches. Yes, it is approaching, and approaching fast. I will leave my house at 9 p.m. Friday night accompanied by a host of friends. I fly out of Bangkok at 12:30 a.m. Saturday morning and and into Atlanta at 7:15 p.m. (ET) Saturday afternoon. You can be in prayer for safe travels, a comfortable flight, or God's testing me through fire. Whichever you would prefer to pray upon me. I just ask that your prayers for me flow from a desire that all men will know the the I AM is God. I look forward to seeing all of my friends and family in Marshal county and in GFPC.

This week will be super busy for me, but don't feel too bad for me just yet. I will be writing multiple reports for my university, writing multiple reports for Step Ahead, and leading multiple training sessions with the Step Ahead staff. Now your wondering why I said don't feel bad for me. Well, here's the fun part: every night, I will be going to a different goodbye party. Ya, I feel pretty loved. Most of the time I wonder why, and then I remember these people are Christian, and God is in the business of loving the most unexpected characters (me being a prime example). In any case, please be praying for me to finish strong, or if you're feeling God is kind of small, pray I will at least finish. (We can only pray for what we have faith will really happen.) Most of all, pray for God to be in what I do...or that what I do will be in God (however that works).

I probably will not be writing again before I return to sweet home Alabama. If you want to hear all the stories that have not made it on this blog, call me after 7:15 p.m. (ET) Saturday and we can plan a walk, a cup of coffee, a game of soccer, or meal. Whatever you're in the mood for. We could pitch tent in the local park and share stories while watching the stars play. We could practice our Thai together and laugh when we can't get it right. Or we could just walk the streets while reminiscing about our summers. Whatever we do, lets have a good laugh, and lets both share our stories. I want to know what has been going on in your life this summer. And if we never get to talk about this summer, I hope to live out what the stories have done in my life.

Until next time, Pra Jow Oi Pon (Nope no translation. Just let the words bless your soul as they have mine.)

  1. Just based on what I know from this blog, John, you've been, no doubt, a fragrant aroma of Christ to the people of Thailand this summer. I'll be praying for your week, and for safe travels home.

    for His glory, Laura Morgan
