Col3:15 "And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful."
Okay, yes, the pink team did make history!!!!!!! We won our first challenge. I think by now everyone heard how awesome our race from Kuala Lumpoer(Malaysia) to Phukhet(Thailand) was and how God provided for us all the way. A few highlights were riding on elephants, the Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpoer and the amusement park, but most of all the people. The people blessed us so much. They gave us money and food and they were so friendly and always tried to help us.
We've been in South Africa for a long time, Egypt and Israel, but I've definitely lost my heart in Thailand!!!
The people is amazing. Every morning, afternoon and evening we walk to the pastors house that is about 15 minutes away from our house to go and eat. We know the people by know because the children will come out of there houses to greet us and everyone will smile and wave from their little porches. I can really say that I can experience the love, joy and peace of the Lord in this little town of Ban Protea in Phukhet. Most of the older people is not Christians, but the children that we work with is all Christians. They are just little bundles of joy.
I am teaching English in the mornings and I am loving it. In the afternoons we've been helping to build a school witch is almost complete. We had church with the local believers and that was just amazing how much they appreciate us being there and encouraging them. It is very difficult to communicate with most of the people, because they cannot understand English, but you will always get a smile back when you talk to them.
I also love the spicy food and the heat, even if it is a bit warm at times.
The other day I was sitting outside on the little porch, watching the rain and reading and journaling and out of nowhere a rainbow appeared. And it was as if God came to remind me of all his promises that he gave me about His peace, his joy that is my strenght, about the hope there is in Christ and so much more. We must hold on to His promises for they will carry us when we cannot walk anymore. He fulfills his promises each day in us and through us and I have experienced His love, peace and joy in a way I have never before.
God is so Good!!!!!!
