In Over My Head//Bethel Music excerpt: Further and further my heart moves away from the shoreWhatever it looks like, whatever may come I am YoursThen You crash over me and I’ve lost control but I’m freeI’m going under, I’m in over my head And You crash over me, I’m where You want me to beI’m going under, I’m in over my headWhether I sink, whether I swim It makes no difference when I’m beautifully in over my head My team and I are in Phuket for the remainder of our journey together. Phuket is a beautiful, but morally broken island town in southern...

My time in Thailand, though just beginning, has already been a trip. The past two weeks have been the toughest of the trip, by far, and I have struggled to adjust. From the beginning of the second half of the trip, in Bangkok, I struggled with leaving my new friends in Cambodia. Where I eventually found comfort in leaving them, I found a new brokenness being in this new place. This big city that I was trying to find a new comfort in, was seeming to break me from the inside out. The truth about Bangkok is this: it is a broken city filled with broken people acting out of their broken hearts. It...

I have been across the world, away from all I have ever known, for six weeks now. I never gave much thought to Cambodia; why would I when my life is so fast-forward? But this month it all slowed down. I immersed myself in the Asian culture and became accustomed to the simple life. I don’t mean the simple life like having a white picket fence, a nine to five job, and a loving husband to come home to at night and binge watch One Tree Hill with. (which is all SO great! Especially One Tree Hill.) I mean the simple life as in waking up every morning to the monks and roosters, showering with...

I am sick for the fourth time since leaving Georgia. The first time was food poisoning the first day arriving at our ministry site, talk about brutal awakening. Food poisoning and a squatty potty don’t mix well. The second time I got a 24 hour bug, and of course it was on the last day with our students. So if you don’t see any pictures of me with the kids in our classes, it’s because I was busy trying to keep water down. The third time, we arrived in Bangkok and I got a little too excited about dairy. My bad. Luckly that one only lasted a night. And now Im out with a cold....
