Katie's Arrival and Transition Period


Remember how I said that God answered prayers and He was sending a gal here to take over my position here in Thailand? Remember how I was so excited because no English Classes had to be closed and our school can stay open? Well, this past week, Katie arrived. She arrived a week ago today. That first day, I was so excited that I decided to give her the rundown in my excitement. What I didn’t realize was that she was so jet lagged that all I was doing was overwhelming her. OPPS! So, I have tried to calm myself, but I struggle with this because I want everything to be handed over perfectly. I want her to feel ready, prepared, and to see everything ok. Once again—It’s a lesson for me to trust God and look to Him—put my focus in the right area. So, this week we have had a good week of her sitting in my classes, talking about our roles, lesson plans, and responsibilities, hanging out with college students, and learning the neighborhood ins and outs. Will you continue to pray for her transition? Thank you!!

Oh and some exciting news, we have a man here, Noah, who is interested in Mercy Ministry at Mahatthai!! This would be an answer to our prayers at Pray and Plan…..the prayer for a male to come and work with the men at Mahatthai!

Today I feel happy and a huge sense of peace as I see how God takes care, hears our prayers, and carries out His plans perfectly. Why do we doubt? Get discouraged and stressed?—Next time you are feeling these things, remember--God has everything already taken care of. Just ask Him to reveal it to you! Whoo Whoo!
