Happy Start of Summer!!  I have been here almost a year with summer weather year round, so it weird to think of finally being summer for you! Last month's highlight for me was going with 10 Thais YWAMers to small village in the Central Region to encourage a small church. The pastor and his 5 church members had been praying for many years that the Lord would send them others to help them;  we were the 1^st answer to that prayer.   The Lord was giving us scriptures, pictures, and encouragement for our brothers and sisters there, as well as I was asked to share a teaching. Getting outside of my Bangkok walls & getting taste of beautiful adventures of Thailand village life was life giving.   From drawing fresh fish from the river, sleeping under a mosquito net, walking through corn fields, eating fresh duck & pig intestines, it all was a blast to build r-ships, praying/encouraging the church, and take in goodness of God.   YWAM is planning to send teams to support them in future and I believe that a lot of was accomplished in the spiritual realm during our time there. 

The week before I probably one of my hardest weeks.  I was wiped out and so emotionally not myself.  Frustrations with my hard drive crashing and taking so many hours to get it revived, frustrations in daily living, absorbed in negative thoughts, and I didn’t want to go to that small church.  I see now more clearly the weak areas in my life that enemy likes to attack and that he often attacks before there is spiritual victory, such as all that God did on our visit to this church.  That church had been praying for years…and I am sure the enemy didn’t want them to be encouraged and supported.

As I have been praying into the plans God has for me here after language study, I have been encouraged this month by the fact that God is entirely good & 100% fully committed to us.  Sometimes I think that God may withhold His best, but such a lie.  He has the best in mind for me right where I am, I am His daughter and He has sacred holy purposes for each of His children.  He is 100% committed to those purposes & will clearly show it in the right timing.  He provides for all of my needs and He continues to remind me to keep walking on water in faith with my eyes fixed on Him.  

Praises

• My Thai roommate, Eve, arrived back after 5 months at a YWAM school in America.  She had many miracles happen on her adventure, including someone giving her all the money needed so she could go on mission trip with the school to Albania & Mauritania.  Excited for her future ministry & its nice to have a roommate again.

 Prayer Requests

• Wedding Planner:   One of my Thai YWAM friends, asked me to help them with their wedding next month.  Some things never change, once a wedding planner, always a wedding planner!! I guess that they didn’t know that I have helped plan many weddings!  I am excited to meet with them weekly this month to help & pray with them as they prepare.  They are living by faith, as both are missionaries from Buddhist families & relying on God to provide finances for their simple wedding that will be at the YWAM base.
• Go to Kanchanaburi June 15-17:  I am traveling with some coworkers to another outreach to Central Region.  Pray that we are blessing, safe travels, and joy of Lord to be expressed.
• Language:  I decided to switch teachers after prayer & counsel, as I was feeling stuck with my teacher.  So, in June I am going back to 1 hour commute to/from school & doing special language module on Thai Culture.  It will be intense, as I will be spending 7am-1:30  language, then couple hours at office & then on homework every day.
• YWAM National Conference:  I was asked by leadership to spend next 2 months during my office hours to help coordinate the August 1-4 conference for our 200 staff.  I will be in different office helping a team with this.
• Protection: Spiritual, emotional, and mental protection in the newness/vulnerability of this 1^st season.
