My Currently List

Hey ya'll, I want to try something new add a little something fun to my blog. I got this idea from several other blogs, Instagram accounts, and even interviews with my favorite celebrities. I'm using this page to list and share what I'm currently reading, watching, listening to, etc. I'm going to do my best to update this list every other week to keep it as current as possible. Drop your currents in the comments and hopefully we can give each other some fun recommendations in books, shows, music, and more!

I am currently...

Watching: Swamp People season 10 is on Hulu ya'll!!!

Reading: Patron Saints of Nothing by Randy Ribay, and of course I'm always reading my Bible.

Listening: the Frozen 2 soundtrack...over and over and over. Lost In The Woods is my jam.

Loving: The Happy Givers They are an awesome non-profit that works hard to support and minister to those in need in real and practical ways. They have some awesome gear for sale too and 100% of their profits goes towards ministry!

Meditating on This Verse: 1 Timothy 4:7-8 "Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come."

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 ...

Seven Year Dream

Just in case you missed it. I finished my month of training with ISM and I am now at my internship. I am so thankful for my amazing month with ISM. I was able to learn so much and grow with an amazing group of people. The likelihood of falling flat on my face without the help of ISM would be much greater than it is now that I was able to spend that time in training and transition. However, I am so happy to finally be at Nightlight working and serving. I serve in the office as an office assistant, but within that role I am blessed to be able to do a number of different things. I do some data entry, work sales, clean the showroom, give tours, attend outreach, I have the opportunity to teach English once a week for some of the women, and I help with whatever else needs to be done. Some times working in an office or cleaning a room can seem mundane and pointless, but when I truly stop and think about the reality of where I am and what I'm doing I fin...

May Our Hearts Always Break

Today I was giving a tour to a team that was visiting. We met and I told them about NL; how it was started and what we do and how we reach out to women. We're located in one Bangkok's many red light districts and usually after a tour the visiting team and I will walk to the offices. Often I hear teams express their shock at how out in the open and tolerated exploitation is in these areas. I watch their faces as we pass by various places and people in the middle of the afternoon on a week day. Things that should shock me, but I walk past them every day. Things that maybe they're being exposed to for the first time, but between my short time here and volunteering back in the states things I have known about or I have seen first hand multiple times. Does my heart really break the way it should? Have I become so used to the darkness around me that it doesn't phase me the way it used to? I remember reading a blog post from Love146 where th...
