20 Minutes of Jesus

For the past week, we’ve been teaching English. Every other day, it’s a new school with new faces. And we have two days. So for two days, we do all we can to start building a simple foundation. We start with a song, then we get into a whole chair situation that I’m not going to try to explain. At some point we start adding in verbs, emotions, sometimes tenses. We go through the months of the year, the days of the week, simple conversation pieces. When there’s nothing else, the Cupid Shuffle takes a turn. We spend two days singing, dancing, and explaining.

Where He Brought Me

“Pay attention.”“To what?”“To your life.Push a little deeper. Run a little faster. Dance a little longer. Laugh a little louder.Get the freak out of your comfort zone because out in the waves, that’s where life happens. That’s where I’m going to do the stuff you can’t imagine right now but I can’t do a thing until you’re out there so let’s go.”Out in the waters, this is where He brought me.This is my life.It’s little girls blowing kisses. It’s dancing silly with no boundaries, just for a laugh....

Worth It

“To be Thai is to be Buddhist”   The phrase describes the deep connection of the culture of Thailand and Buddhism. I love the Thai hospitality, the smiles, and the deep respect of elders, but Buddha can’t hold a candle to Jesus. That’s why today was so incredible. We got to share the gospel of Jesus with around 50 children and a few adults. In a district of Thailand with over a million people and less than a thousand Christians, the truth was proclaimed.

Come to Me

And I am with you, more than you know.” -Bethel Something that I have struggled with is knowing that no matter what, my Jesus is always so close to me. I struggled with this until I heard wonderful insight through some history. Before Jesus had died on the cross for our sins, there was a curtain that kept the Holy Place hidden and only the high priest could enter. In this structure, the curtain hiding the...
