Returning to my Love

Nearly a year has passed since I returned from Thailand and I find myself today, sitting on the floor of my bedroom, going on my 21st hour of being awake, just hours from boarding a plane to head across the ocean and return to the country I love. My decision to stay up all night in hopes that I sleep better on the long plane ride across the sea will hopefully prove itself a good one, but only time will tell that. My extra hours of life today provided me with good times with and goodbye's to many friends, being able to watch the sunrise and time in prayer for the upcoming month. This time, the experience will be a bit different, as I have others with this time. Longtime friend Nicole Ryan and I are taking off at 8:55 this morning (Wednesday) and will be in Thailand until August 4. Former co-worker and present friend Anna Rios will be joining us in July 14 and will be staying until the 26th. Since my return last year, Sinn (my host last summer) has begun a ministry called "The Light" which meets in Wongen Cafe (a YWAM based cafe) right across the street from Chiang Mai University. Everything that I have heard of "The Light" just adds to the knowledge that Christ is very at work in Thailand. For this trip, we hope simply to come alongside Sinn, Ann and all the others who are a part of "The Light" and Chiang Mai Baptist Church and help get those who have not discovered the radical, amazing and unwavering love of Christ, find it.
In the following days and weeks I hope to visit you all in blog world to share thoughts, feelings, random happenings or whatever else may be on my mind. Keep us in your prayers and always feel free to email me with prayer requests of your own. Until next time..cheers.
