Safely Home

I am home safe and sound. My time in Bangkok is over. I will miss the places I've been and the people I have seen, but I am optimistic about the future. My time of missions has not just ended. It has barely begun. I do not know where or when God will take me on another cross-continent adventure, but I look forward to my next trip. I also look even more forward to my upcoming year at Covenant College. It will be my last year in College. I do not know what God has planned for me this year at college, but I pray it is one of learning and doing. I hope to be able to become heavily involved in the life of those in need in the projects and on the streets of Chattanooga and on Covenant College's campus.

Thank you all for following my time in Thailand this summer. Your prayers and support have been a great encouragement and strength to me this summer. I have enjoyed being a part of this team. Thank you for the privilege to serve on the front lines, and thank you for diligently supporting me behind the scenes.

Like I have said, my time in Thailand is over, but my mission is just beginning. Please be praying for me going into this year. Pray that God will be exceedingly close to me, so that I can never fathom His greatness. Pray that He is close to those around me, breaking the bonds of injustice, pride, and self-criticism that Satan so easily use against us. Pray that God will work through me to change others lives. Pray God gives me boldness, courage, creativity, and safety in this coming year. Most importantly pray He gives me the Holy Spirit. How I desperately need the Helper.

I would like to finish by saying, "Thank you God for giving me the chance to serve you in this way. Will you cultivate the seeds that were planted, and send workers to tend your garden."
