Roots = Wings.

Over the last five days, I've contemplated a million times how to write this blog. 

I suppose the reason I've been hesitant is for seeming like I'm going against God's will.

I've been worried about what people may say as they read it, 

exasperatingly exclaiming how I said one thing, and now I'm saying another. 

Fear of being misunderstood. 

One of the most valuable lessons I learned as a leader in Kenya was that it's not about being understood; 

though I believe as humans, we inherently long for it. 

I don't have to be understood. 

And my decision most likely won't be. 

So. 

I'm moving to Thailand. 

As I said, I'm not asking to be understood, 

therefore I don't really feel the need to explain. 

BUT, I will say that this is something the Lord has been speaking to me about for a long time. 

I have been waiting for over a year to return to Phuket. 

And five days ago, I was offered my dream ministry in the country my heart so longs for. 

Through my willingness to take the steps He asked me to take, 

God has honoured my obedience by allowing the desires of my heart to come to fruition. 

He is SO FAITHFUL. 

So, as of January 2014, 

I will be considered long-term staff at SHE (Self Help and Empowerment) Thailand. 

My ministry will consist of taking photos, writing blogs, telling stories of God's faithfulness. 

I will also be able to minister on Bangla Road and once again be part of the amazing freedom God is bringing there. 

I honestly could not be more excited about this opportunity, and I hope you will be excited with me! 

Pray for my heart as I begin to prepare for what I'm sure will be the craziest adventure yet. 

Inhale.

Exhale. 

Here we go again.
