Sawasdee

"God, be merciful to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us, that Your Way may be known on earth, Your Salvation among all nations. Let the peoples praise You, O God, Let all the peoples praise You. Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy. For You shall judge the people righteously, and govern the nations on earth."
We are here!!! After our long journey, we arrived in Chiang Mai yesterday, and by the grace of God they are letting us use a car for a week. Pray for a safe journey--as it has been a few months since I drove on the opposite side of the road while carrying 3 precious pieces of cargo! Jodi, Rebekah, Kerri, and I will, in a matter of minutes, be leaving the city to head north toward Fang/Tha Ton, and stay a few days near an orphanage, Faith Village, which has suffered this past year, losing their pastor and overseer from a severe infection. We desire discernment and wisdom from God, knowing and expecting God to do incredible things. Oh yeah--and send up a quick pray for Jodi. She had a delightful encounter with a 3 inch roach hanging out near her toothbrush this morning!
Peace,
Nicole
