state side 5 months: break my heart
I am so exhausted. life just seems like nonstop papers, projects, midterms, worship practices, ministry, friends, life. It’s all good things, just need a breather. it’s good to know when life is busy an hard that God is faithful to carry us through and that He is in control of everything.
anyway, yesterday at aacf we actually had a full worship team and the very first song we lead was...

lonely
c: blee
This is one of the girls from the world vision day we helped out with while we were in thailand. I don’t know this little girl’s name… but i remember her face very distinctly. and i cant help but be a little sad when i see this picture of her sitting all alone with no one to share her meal with. but what this really reminds me of are the prostitutes from the red light...

not a crier...?
I was never much of a crier. Sure, i cried when I was sad… or overwhelmed. But I never cried over a lot of things that other people do… like the lifehouse “Everything skit”, chick flicks… or when a super emotional thing happens. They evoked emotion… but it never brought tears and i figured i just wasn’t that kind of person.
Since coming back from...
state side: two months- You won't relent
I have the worst habit of updating blogs when its late at night and i have work to do. as i was sitting on the dining table of my apartment trying to study for my stats test tomorrow, I suddenly remembered the song “you won’t relent”
here are the lyrics:
I’ll set You as a seal upon my heart As a seal upon my heart For there is love that is as strong as death Jealousy...

State side: 5 weeks
It sure has been a while since i’ve written on my tumblr. I’ve been meaning to write, but whenever i think back to the 7 weeks i spent in thailand, it’s always so overwhelming and i can’t really make one coherent thought. my mind’s always all over the place… so it’s not really much of a surprise…
Thailand was truly an unforgettable experience. I...

Day 41 - Coming to a end
So many many amazing things are happening on this trip, its hard to figure out what i want to share right now…
I can’t remember if i’ve wrote this already, but Saturdays are my busiest days, I have Saturday School from 9-12, guitar lessons from 2-4 then we spend time in a poor area from 5-6 which usually ends up turning into 7. But today was the most special Saturday yet. Last...
5 weeks over already?!
Sa wat dee kha!
Hopefully this post will save! Sorry again for the looong period of no updates! So much has happened in the last 2 weeks, I’m just gonna write about random things here and there :]
Tuesday-Friday morning I’ve been playing worship songs on the guitar in front of the church at 7:10am until about 8 just so that people can hear worship to the King of kings and that the...

I just wanted to let you know that our...
Day 16: Challenges
Everything that God given us the opportunity to do here has been a challenge for me… simply because I’m not really a leader type of person who can lead classes or take charge of a group of kids. It’s probably because I don’t like speaking in front of people! I usually get nervous speaking in groups larger than… three and if I could, I’d probably remain silent for most of the things I do and just...

Thailand Week Two!
Sa Wat Dee Kha!
I know i start every post with that, but we use it so much here, it only seems right to (:
SO! We’ve been in Thailand for about a week now, My journal says Day 10… but we arrived on Sunday, so I’m not sure what’ happened exactly… anyway, God has been doing amazing things already in the past week. I am limited on the amount of time I have on the...
Thailand Day Two
Sa Wat Dee Kha!!
We made it to Bangkok safely and have now spent two days here at the OMF Mission home. The last two days have been super fun as we experienced Thai culture and began to meet and try to talk to people in the community. The Language has been really difficult to pick up and even harder to try to read since SpacesOnlyExistAtTheEndOfSentencesAndEverythingLooksLikeOneHugeWord! The...
Pre field: Departing
The day is finally here!
I am so excited for the time I’ll be spending in Thailand this summer, sharing the good news with those who haven’t heard. But I can’t help but feel a little homesick already. The rest of my happy family (aka my church) has already left to retreat and as I waved goodbye to them it hit me how much I would miss them. I haven’t gone long than 2 weeks...
Pre Field Training
Training this weekend up in the mountains of Colorado was an amazing experience and a super big blessing. God continues to grow my heart of Thailand and I’ve definitely come back this weekend even more excited to see what God will do.
I met my team over in Colorado and we are one interesting bunch of people who bring a whole range of personalities and i am soo excited. We got some funnny...

Pre Field: 25 Days left
We haven’t even left for Thailand yet and the journey of trusting in God for this missions trip has begun without a doubt.
Raising financial support can be pretty intimidating and for this trip i need $3900. The thought of raising so much support was a little scary and whenever people would ask me how in the world I would be able to raise so much money, I’d answer “Trust in God...
Pre Field: 30 Days Before Departure
Sa wat de kaa friends!
I can’t believe that there are only 30 days until our team leaves for Thailand! Everyday I am growing more and more excited to see what God is going to do and what He has in store. As the day draws closer, God is continuing to build a passion within me to love his people in Thailand and to share his good news!
As you guys might have heard, Thailand is going through...
Pre Field: first post
Dearest Friends!
A few of you know that I am going to be going a missions trip to Thailand this summer for seven weeks, serving in the slums of Bangkok. I decided to create a tumblr to keep you all updated about this mission to Thailand and so that you may be more involved in what God’s doing in this world. For the first post, below is a copy of my support letter for those of you who would...
