Here we goooo

June 4, 2018
864 hours into our 14 hour plane ride:

I thought that a fourteen hour plane ride was going to be super easy until we got about 4 hours into our fourteen hour plane ride…
I’m also realizing that chugging coffee in order to “crash in an hour or two” was not a great idea.
There’s an evil clown cat monster staring at me from the seat in front of me which makes my time slightly uncomfortable,(see picture) but overall, even though the trip has only just begun, it has surpassed my expectations already.

For starters, I couldn’t have asked for a better team of girls to be going to Thailand with. They all inspire and challenge me in different ways, simply by being.
It’s SO incredible to be a part of a group that sees the absolute best in each other, because their hearts are so genuinely full of Jesus that it’s impossible not to see the beauty, joy, and love that overflows.
I’m not an emotional person at all, but when I was surround by these people that I just met, who already want me to experience the absolute best that God has to offer, and they specifically call it out me, it makes me emotional. I cried in front of all of them out of pure appreciation because God spoke to me through them.
I cant even express how excited I am to experience God in a unfamiliar place, completely free of all the distractions that everyday life has to offer.
Breaking my routine in order to grow and be in the pureness of the reality of life with Him was the absolute best thing I could have chosen to do this summer.

Even through any doubts or insecurities that pass through my mind, (and even though I have no idea what time or day it actually is) I am so humbled that God chose me to go on this trip. I know He has HUGE plans and I am so beyond excited to live in them and serve and represent Jesus for the Thai people in any possible way I can. I’m eager to learn and grow while experiencing Him through my team, the Thai people, and through his absolutely stunning creation.

 Acts 14:17
