Since
arriving in Thailand, our team has been experiencing the Thai culture
and learning our projects for the rest of the summer at what seems like a
nonstop speed. Because this is my first time being overseas
specifically for a mission trip, I started to get very overwhelmed very
quickly when faced with the plans for our work.
It
was a quiet, cooler Wednesday morning when I decided to check out the
roof of the building where we were staying. On the roof, I was met
with this wonderful view of the neighborhood, city, and nearby
mountains. The way the clouds and fog slowly moved over the distant
trees and the stillness with only the birds in the background allowed me
to feel peace for the first time since our arrival. It was such a sweet
moment the Lord gave me in the midst of the chaos of technology not
working, learning a completely new language, and working out a schedule
for projects. I was able to sit and listen to my Christian playlist and
simply enjoy the peacefulness of being in the presence of God. I will
definitely be returning to my rooftop throughout the summer. The Lord is
so good in giving us the things we need in the moment we need them!
Please pray for unity and peace within our team this summer as we brave the new culture and the creative jobs we will be doing!
Pray we are able to find little moments where we can spend time with God and feel the peace He offers!
