I'm DRIVING!!!

As many of you will recall I blogged the day I found out I was going to have to drive in Thailand. I started asking for prayer months before getting here. My prayer request was always that I would get here and NOT have to drive! I was so not looking forward to having to drive and prayed accordingly. Chinese New Year came and it worked out perfect, NO driving! I was happy as could be. In fact it looked like I wasn't going to have to drive here at all... but then I started having a desire to drive. I know crazy right?!? Well, last week, with the help of a friend, drove us back to our community from the pier! God was totally there making a way for me as there were very few cars on the road and it went by without incident. The next morning he let me drive to the warehouse. Again, totally awesome. So, now I'm a Thai driver!

I can say that especially after my weekend! I again went on an "Angel Adventure"... she called me Satruday and said, "Hey you want to go on an adventure?" A little hesitant after my last "adventure," I asked what it would be... she said, "my friend from church is going to the hospital to visit very sick people to pray for them and share the gospel..." Now this was an "adventure" I could get behind... not to mention she said after we could go to Starbucks and hang out... I was in!

Then she dropped the bomb... not at the warehouse but downtown and I would have to drive and pick her up by myself. First time driving alone! I totally missed my turn and had to drive "around the block" which wasn't really around the block but I made it and picked her up. We also picked up her friend and they together took me on a little driving adventure to the Thai government hospital (not the really nice one we Americans go to).

It was an awesome time, just praying for people and sharing the gospel. Several women prayed to receive Christ and we prayed for healing. It was amazing! One women when we came in couldn't hardly sit up. She had to be helped up and supported while she sat and listened. But by the time we were done talking with and praying for her and she had received Christ, she was smiling, sitting on her own, and SO animated. Before we left she looked at me and said "We are family now." It was so heart warming and awesome to see God's hand at work!

It was a WONDERFUL weekend... even with driving :) I survived and have since driven several times and actually like it! I will also say that I've also ridden on a motorbike! Nothing like facing your fears and knowing that God is completely in control. He is nothing but faithful!

If you have anything you would like me to pray about please let me know! I'm enjoying my time with God and would like to "stand in the gap" for you all! Thanks for the support and prayers! I can feel them.
