Bed time prayers…

I just love bed time at baan num jai. The children love to receive prayers before bed and I love to pray over them. Each night I hear “Pi’ Grayce pray longer” I just love it. To see them love to pray brings me so much joy! I love that time where I can go and just pray over each of them and talk with them about there day. The sweetness of a child. They always want to give lots of kisses before bed and they always want me to “stay longer!!!!’ it’s so very cute! I just love it from the bottom of my heart! Tonight I prayed when I prayed with Belle I talked with her for a little bit about how much I love her and how much God loves her. I told her that I love her a lot but that Jesus loves her so much more then I ever could. She just listened intently it was amazing! I gave her a hug and a kiss goodnight and she gave me one back and when she hugged me she just held tight. It was so amazing. I’m not even sure there are words to express just how much. Tonight was an AWESOME night with the kids! I feel so amazingly blessed to be here and to be working with such AMAZMING children! Thank you Lord so much for the baan num jai kids! I love them with all my heart! God has blessed me more then I could ever have hoped for! Thank you Jesus so much for this gift. Well I’m not really sure how to put just how amazing today was in words but well it was just really AMZING!! I’m so blessed!

Late night thoughts or early morning thoughts it just depeands on how you look at it!

Here I sit awake it’s about 3:30 in the morning.

It’s raining outside and it’s just so peaceful. I’m sitting in my house. It's so weird to me that I have a house. I have been back in Chiang Rai for I guess 2 weeks now. I’m working with the beautiful children of baan num jai again. Oh I am so blessed! Everyday I go to baan num jai (home of the open heart in Thai) I realize just how much God has blessed my life. I have wanted to live in Thailand as a missionary since I was 15. There were so MANY times that I thought I would NEVER be back here. What a journey God has taken me on. It was a hard one, but I would change nothing about it. All the things in my life that were so very hard I now look back on and thank God that I had to go through them. That may sound a little weird but they all shaped me into the person I am. I don’t really know how to explain in words everything that goes through my head. I feel so very blessed to live this life. I am so blessed to work with the children at baan num jai. They are truly amazing. Everyday that I go and I play with them and I hold them, it hits me just how amazing they are. I came here because I wanted to be a blessing to them and I find myself being blessed by them more and more each time I go to work. God is so amazing there really are no right words to express just how much! When I think about how badly I wanted to come back here since I was 15. I think about Psalm 37:4

Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart's desires.

It’s so cool to see God work out his will for your life. He placed in my heart the desire to live in Thailand. Now he has blessed me with it. How cool is God. It’s hard for me to fully express how amazing it is to walk this all out. It’s been a great journey. God is good now and always! So even though I really don’t know what tomorrow will bring me, I can hold on to the fact that God knows. I look forward to all God has in store for my life. To see what heart desires he will place in my heart and then see how he will help me walk it out.
