Mae Sariang Mission Trip Day 2

I'm grateful to God for working on each of our lives and for journey mercies on our trip to the hostel. We rested in the bus but we were still exhausted from the trip. I was reminded to give tracts to the people around us but I did not because I was looking for the right time. The feeling was strong but even after the trip, I did not give out a single tract. I've learnt an important lesson: God doesn't want me to find the perfect time; He wanted me to just give and share gospel without planning much. I do know I need more work on that. 

Yesterday was Sis Pat's birthday. We sang birthday song for her over the dining table while we were having breakfast. We are grateful to her. I also noticed that she did not utter a single complaint about Bro Nat not spending time on her birthday. I wonder if I'll be as gracious as her when I'm married.

Anyway, we saw Jack at the Mae Sariang Bus Terminal. Everything was loaded to church. Thank God for the meeting after we'd settled down because we finally gotten the details of the workshop and made plans.

After some rest we got to the Compassion in Jesus's Name hostel and saw the children. Before we entered the hall, we heard loud singing and worshipping God. Most songs were all in Thai so I couldn't understand a single word; it's ok, because the recipient is God and He understands it.

We were introduced to the children after their song presentation to us. First time in mission so I was taken aback when they sang for us. Frankly speaking, we're here to help and encourage, not to receive such presentation because I do not feel worthy of it. 

I pray for all the children here as they continue to walk with Christ. I pray that they are eager to love God and help them to walk closer to God as they receive the workshop. I pray for the team as we're scared that we do not work according to God's plans.
