Update

Dear Friends and Family,
     I want to take the time to thank all of you for the prayer and support I've received as I prepare for my trip to Thailand. You have been a blessing in my life and I appreciate all of you. I am thankful for the opportunities I've been given to come speak to various people and churches and share my heart and vision for this trip.
     Thanks to all of you I have been able to purchase my plane ticket and send in part of my money for my training at Impact School of missions. These are very exciting things and I wouldn't have been able to get this far without your help. I have been given the opportunity to work some of the upcoming missions fundraisers being hosted by my church and will be able to receive a small amount of fund through this avenue.
     I am still raising money for overseas health insurance, living expenses, the rest of my tuition for Impact School of Missions, and various items such as luggage, clothes for outreach, etc. This means I have about $15,000 left to raise. Living expenses can come in after I'm there but I'll need to have my health insurance and tuition paid by the beginning of August ($9,000). This can seem like an overwhelming, and even impossible goal to achieve, but I know that this is something God has asked me to do and I know together, with him, we can reach this goal.
      I ask that would pray and consider supporting my financially in this journey. If you donating to my trip is something you would like to do you can donate online at kaitlinadventures.blogspot.com under the donation tab.
     I covet all of your prayers as well. Please pray for me as I travel and fund raise for this trip. I am so excited to be able to share my experiences with all of you. Thank you for your support!
God Bless,

Kaitlin Hicks

Facing Fear

     Fear...fear is something we all face at some time or another. It can be small or it can be crippling. Some may face it every once in a great while and others face it every day of their lives. Fear can be brought on by accidents, people, wars, disease, governments, media consumption, and by simply being alive. I would venture to say that fear is interwoven into the fall of man, therefore it is interwoven into being human. However, to say that it's interwoven into the human experience doesn't mean that it should be; I truly believe that when God created humanity he never intended for us to be fearful creatures, in fact time and time again the Bible tells us not to fear. This is something that we did to ourselves. The second Adam and Eve messed up and everything came crashing down around them fear entered the picture and it came to stay.       Fear doesn't affect and interact with everyone the same way. Some people merely brush up against it...

Embracing Obscurity

             As a Christian female in my 20s I know my Meyers-Briggs personality type (INFP), my enneagram (4w3), my love languages, and I've probably taken a spiritual gifts test. I probably take all of these tests every few months just in case my results have changed. Why? Why are we so obsessed with personality types and love languages? They so important to us that we will literally plan and center out entire lives around these results (which is rather unhealthy, but that's a post for another time). Why do we put such an emphasis on these things and purpose to weave them into our lives as tightly as possible? I would suggest that it's because we want to be known. We have a deep desire to be truly by known; to be known by our friends, our family, our co-workers, and even by ourselves. These tests give us the ability to have snippets of ourselves and our personality written out in front of us. It's something tangible that we can present to other ...

Face To Face With Heroes Of The Faith

     Hi Everyone! Can you believe I've been in Thailand almost three weeks? It's been an amazing time or learning and adjusting so far. I am enjoying the immersion in a totally new culture. Being able to experience a new language, food, and practices is stretching and challenging at time and other times it's exciting and fun; often it's a mixture of all four. Even though they don't have a whole lot with this post I'm throwing in random pictures just so you can see what I've been up to with your own eyes.     There are six of us going through a month of training at Impact School of Missions in preparation for various internships across South East Asia. We have classes and training up until the end of the month; in October we all officially move on to our internships! Our month at ISM consists of classes involving classes on the culture, language, effective ways to minister and serve, culture shock/stress, learning about ourselves, and many more. We explore ...
