On Hold
Here's a glimps of the stuff I've got running through my head right now and more of an update on Thailand….
I’ve been talking with the Wards (who I’m partnering with in Thailand)… we’ve come to the conclusion that I should wait and move to Thailand in either February or March. This will give them the time that they need to focus on some transitions within their current ministries before I come and start something new.
My original hope was to have a couple other people go with me to Thailand, work with me in Mae Sot, and that we’d move by this fall. Well, none of that is quite panning out the way I wanted. I still don’t know who is going to work alongside me in Mae Sot, but after talking with Candace Ward, we’ve decided that we’re not going to let that keep me from moving to Thailand. We’re still praying, and believing that God is going to put Mae Sot on people’s hearts, but we're going to move on in faith.
I have no idea where I’m supposed to be or what I’m supposed to do between now and my move to Thailand. I know that I need more financial support for Thailand (I have enough to get me there and get me started, but need more to be able to stay there long term), and to continue to cover the costs of living in the States. So, I’m faced with the decision of staying in GA to be near my community and friends, or move back in with my parents so that my bills are decreased. Each option has its pluses and minuses.
The past week I’ve been doing more reading and watching videos on art therapy (as this is one of the things that I want to do in Thailand). I found an online class that I want to take that is specifically for art therapy for children and youth who’ve been through trauma. The Lord has been speaking to me about being proactive and pursuing things… so this is just one area that I am going to begin to do that.
To be honest, the idea of having to spend money that I’m saving for Thailand on other stuff (taking classes, living in the States, etc) is hard, even if I know it will be valuable or is necessary.
Will you pray for me? I'm really at a place of having no idea what to do next, and I don't like that feeling! I'm afraid that I'll be sitting here a month from now having waisted time and money and still not know what to do. If you feel like the Lord is giving you any insight into where I should be or what I should be doing over the next 7-8 months… will you please let me know!! Thanks.

How much is the art therapy class?
