Thailand

There have been ALOT of asian influences around lately, on tv, in the DIY world, in my dreams... I had the honor of traveling to Bangkok, Thailand with my best friend in the summer of 2006. We joined Let's Start Talking and raised money to go teach English to university students in the heart of Bangkok. It was such an amazing time in my life... we had study groups everyday and I would sit one on one with students as they would read through the book of Luke practicing their English. I had several students who kept pursuing the word of the Lord after we left and one atheist student who was very highly educated with whom I left my Bible. I think about my time there alot and pray for the people there and their journey to find God. I remember thinking how hard it would be to be a Christian in that environment, how unbelieveable the story of Jesus is to one who has grown up buddhist or without religion. If I did not grow up in a Christian home would I eventually find my way to God?

I was reminiscing and praying for the sweet people there while looking through photos, I stumbled across these from one of our weekend get aways. Some of the pictures remind me of the Bachelorette's last season when they spent time in Asia. I just wanted to share some of the beauty I experienced in Thailand 5 years ago. One day I hope to go back and visit my friends there and experience the culture again!
