Destination...Thailand!!!

I found out yesterday that I will be going to Thailand on my outreach!!! I am very excited. My DTS is made up of 29 students and the outreach possibilities were India or Thailand. Our school leader asked each of us to pray and ask God where he was leading us to go and write it on a little piece of paper. So we did, and 14 people wrote down India, and 15 wrote down Thailand. It was an even split...crazy. So God knows what He is doing after all. hahaha. Today we found out who our team leaders and staff are and I am thrilled. We are not sure at the moment what we will be doing in Thailand but I know it is going to be awesome.

 

This week we have David Hamilton as our teacher. This man is truly devoted to God and to missions. He has been to 183 nations in his life time, preaching the gospel and spreading the love of Christ around the earth. He is teaching on knowing God, because only when we are in pursuit to know God can we begin to make him known. One thing he said that really stood out to me was his definition of true love, “To discover the dreams of your beloved and to live your life to make those dreams come true.” It is so crazy to think this is how I am supposed to approach God. He is my true love, wow, what a concept. What then are the dreams of God? Anyway, this week has been filled with treasures both big and small.
