Greetings fr Cha’am, Thailand… =)
It’s been several long full days. Our day starts at 7am and doesn’t end till 11pm… It’s jammed packed with rehearsals, band practices, worship leading, meeting people, preparing powerpoint, taking care of kids, listening to conference messages, etc etc.
We’re almost coming to an end of our time here… It’s been physically demanding on me, and Lil too (she’s now nursing a flu…and lost her voice) But more than that, it’s been particularly emotionally tiring for me…
The past few days has been especially ‘stretching’ for me. God had intended for me to be ‘out of my comfort zone’, and I must admit, it’s been hard. I didn’t like it AT ALL! But I had to learn to receive it with thanksgiving, reminding myself again and again that He must know why I needed to experience what I was experiencing. To say it’s been challenging must certainly be understating it. A time of testing is probably more appropriate.
I really can’t say I passed with flying colors.. but at least I know I’m in process.
Thank you Jesus for your mercy and grace upon my life. Without which I cannot continue to live for you.
Thank you that You said ‘It is finished’ on the cross. Your shed blood is complete for me, I can ‘cease striving’.
