In exactly 5 days from today, Lyndsey, Martha and I will be flying 23 hours total to Bangkok, Thailand to live there for one month. My heart is filled with anticipation, great joy, and prayers as I think of arriving at Beginnings. I think of how I will meet these girls who have already found freedom and are living there with Bonita and Roy, the wonderful founders and couple who run Beginnings, and I think of how happy I will be to see some who have found their hope. Then I also think of what I will see on the streets upon arriving, and the 1.3 million women and children who have not found freedom, and my heart is heavy still. I do not think that this is a bad thing, however. This heaviness and awareness is what will keep me going as I am there, and when I return.
We are pushed to move and help because the Lord has always helped us, no matter what. I am called to love because He first loved me. I am called to serve because He humbled Himself first. I care for those who I have not met yet because He knows each and every one of us by name. Your prayers and support mean the world to me and I cannot wait to share His work with all of you as I am over there and when I return. Praying for you all as well!
Because He Chose the Nails,
Janette
Will be praying for you guys! Can't wait to hear all about it when you return.
