Well, here I go...

We leave for Thailand bright and early at 8 AM tomorrow! How exciting!!! Our flight is around noon, and it's about 11 hours long til we reach Tokyo. We'll have a 2 hour layover there, and then a 6 hour flight to Bangkok. I am so excited!!! Please be praying for us, because a bunch of us are really sick! :( And that includes me, unfortunately. I'm not looking forward to being on the plane with my throat, ears, and head aching up a storm. So your prayers are much appreciated!

Most of you know that I love music, and there have been about 3 songs that have been my "theme songs" I guess during this DTS. I posted the lyrics to one already, and I wanted to share another one with you. It's a pretty popular song, but the lyrics (especially the chorus) describe so much of my DTS experience and what I've learned just about living life.

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

I break tradition, sometimes my tries are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten


I just wanted to share that with you. :) Thank you for your prayers, love, and support. I am so excited to minister to the people in Thailand and see what God has for us!
