Fun Ride

Good-bye "tentative", Hello "plan"!

I have been on a little bit of a roller-coaster ride in the last few weeks, but this particular ride has ended. A few weeks ago I got the news that the missionaries we were going to be working with in Bangkok were actually coming back to the States even before we were planned to get there. So, we had to decide what we were to do. The options: Go to Chiang Mai with the other team to work in the university, go to Vietnam to help in a coffee shop to teach English and build relationships, or stay at home.

After prayer and consideration, I decided to go to Chaing Mai with the large group. Spring break was good having a plan in place.

But alas, when I returned from spring break I received an e-mail requesting help in Bangkok. The missionaries need people for the summer to help with the English club and burgeoning relationships.

Though I was a little frustrated to have yet another turn, it stuck me that there is a need to be met and I am able to meet the need. If I were to go to Chiang Mai I know that it would be good and beneficial, however that need is already being met and there would be a deficit in Bangkok.

My partner in all of this, April has gone through the same process and has come to the same conclusion...she is still my partner and I am thankful!

So, for now, I am waiting in line for the next roller-coaster and preparing for it.
