I’ve done it before and I really think I’m getting better: fewer tears, less stress, and little doubt. This is where God wants me, I know, but when I booked my ticket four months ago, I wasn’t thinking about how much I’d miss dinner around the table with my uncontrollable family and demon-possessed dog. I didn’t consider the girlfriend withdrawal I’ll undoubtedly experience, and I didn’t know I’d be starving for Marcus to be by my side.
I’m once again being held captive in in-between-land, and like any trip that requires separation from everyone and everything I care most about, my stomach is whirling in a thousand directions. But I’ve done it before… I think I’m getting better…
When I escape this miserable cold and am re-introduced to the sun in 90-degree Bangkok, my attitude will unquestionably change. But for now, I’m coveting your prayers for safety and peace. Although my Savior will clutch my hand every step of the way, I wish I weren’t doing this alone. Free from distraction, yes, but we all know there are more laughs with someone else. Please help me laugh with you…
My flight leaves tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m., where my intinerary takes me through Detroit, Tokyo, and Bangkok. I’ll post my arrival once I find internet. Can’t wait for God to unfold His always-perfect plan so I can turn this cheesy frown upside down. Next post will be from the land of Thai! Love, always.
That’s Thai for “Gina’s favorite chicken dish”! I can’t spell “hello” correctly, so… deal with it.
Welcome! For all you oldies but goodies stopping by, here’s my brief introduction to the world that is BLOG: The piece of Internet you’re staring into has been dedicated to the footsteps of my journey in Bangkok, Thailand. There, I will be serving children and families suffering from AIDS through my communications background. A blog gives me the opportunity to share my stories and photos with the friends, family, and stalkers I’ve left back home! I want to stir OOOOs and AAAAHs, laughs, tears and interest… but ultimately I hope to raise awareness coupled with action.
On a side note, my visa finally came!!
I want YOU to feel ownership of this experience. Many of you reading this supported me financially and spiritually, and it is because of YOU that I’m able to try my hand at God’s work in another country. I want to be completely candid and open about my experiences as a missionary, but because of cultural and governmental policies in Thailand, I may run into limitations.
This is an interactive form of communication so PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE respond in whatever way you’re comfortable! You can leave comments at the end of any post, and if you have questions or would like me to discuss a topic, just let me know! For the most part I’ll be alone, so knowing you’re out there paying attention is such a blessing to me.
I can’t wait to share the good stuff! Thank you for your love, always.
