So I know that it has been a while, and I’m sorry. I really want to post all of the time, but I don’t have internet access where I live and I have to find time to go to the internet cafes to answer email, and post blogs…
In the last two weeks many things have happened. I have gone out on outreach and talked to women, I have worked in the office, visited new churches, and experienced the Thai culture.
The past few weeks here have been hard for me, because I hadn’t found my place in NightLight, and because I was to connected to home. This past weekend the Lord truly broke me of my selfishness and of my desires. It was and continues to be a very hard lesson, but a lesson well worth the pain. Through this I am learning what it truly means to be a servant. I have realized the importance of giving all of my desires to the Lord not expecting anything in return. I look forward to seeing the Lord glorified in the rest of my time here.
Three of our roommates in the house where I live are Thai girls who now work for NightLight and who were in desperate need of housing. One of the women is pregnant and due early December. Last Sunday night we had our first Bible study and she was involved, everything had to be translated to her, but she was involved. She has only been working with NightLight for over a month now, and she was in the bars far into her pregnancy. In less than two months time she has become a believer and strongly desires to know the Lord. She has decided to keep her baby, and to be responsible, even though she (it’s a little girl) was conceived with a man whom she will never know or meet again. She is seeking right now, she desires to know the Lord, she desires to love this child that she has been given, she is amazing and a huge encouragement. I wrote this so that you can pray for her. Pray that the Lord gives her wisdom as she seeks Him in the Word. Pray that she will be discipled and that she will be cared for. Pray that the Lord will provide for her and her baby girl.
I’m not sure about how much information has been provided about the issues of Carly’s and my visas… but it has been taken care of. When we got here we learned that our visa would expire the 15th of this month. So now to get them extended we will both fly to Singapore on the 14th and Lord willing we will enter Thailand again with visas that allow us to serve the full three months.
So that’s pretty up to date… I will try to write more often…
If anyone wants to get a specific response write to me at pookieinmypants@hotmail.com I love keeping in touch through e-mail.

Its amazing what the Lord will do in a willing and yielded heart, the things HE is able to accomplish are more profound then anything we can even imagine...I am continually blown away by HIS faithfulness...Hard lesson are good because of the fruit they can bear, the charter that is produced...the beauty of who HE is in ones life is brought forth in such an awesome way.
Thank you for sharing your heart-I am continually in prayer for both you and Carly.
That is amazing about that woman. I hope that, by Gods strength, you and Carly and everyone can shine light and love all over her. It has been a blessing to see you grow and learn and be changed by the Lord in so many ways in such a short amount of time. you are in my prayers and i miss you.
Through life there will be many ups and downs and we can give thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ for carrying us when we need it most. I am encouraged that you and Carly are learning and have been given opportunities to grow in your faith as you yield to His will and continue in the mission you set out on. Thank you for sharing what is happening in your life. I love you and miss you.
