Prayer


Need prayer. I feel like my walk with Christ is lacking in being discipled by someone else who is physically present. 

 Prayers to spend more time with Jesus and experience his Joy, squared. Prayers for the Lord to prepare a community, someone, anyone to disciple me here and Lord, who needs to be discipled in my community? Prayers to Fear the Lord and not fear man. 

 "To fear the Lord does not mean to be scared of Him... Rather, it refers to a deep sense of awe and reverence, to an internal bowing of our spirit in recognition of who He really is."

 "So be content with you are and don't put on airs. God's strong hand is on you; he'll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you." (1 Peter 5: 6-7, The Message)

 "So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God for he cares about you" (1 Peter 5:6-7 NLT)

    I will begin praying for you regularly! Stay strong as you continue to use your creativity, honesty, and gifts for His glory.

The Universal Language

In the span of a month I have purchased a Ukulele (really cool story behind the purchase. I'm too lazy to write about it) and learned a song via youtube. Props to the dude who created the tutorial to 'Stand By Me' by Ben E. King. Super basic and simple for beginners.  A few weeks ago when I visited my Australian teacher friend we had the best, spontaneous time jammin'. She gave me some pointers and I introduced her to one of my all time favorite songs "You and I" by Ingrid Michaelson.  Before I left for Thailand, a sister friend told me that when the going gets tough just keep strumming that uke. I have been challenged to create a song for my kids and sing it to them. Challenge accepted. I need accountability though. Will you hold me accountable?  Peme brought in his toy guitar the second week. He is such a big help in the class and always wants to please the teachers. If I can inspire one 3 year old to learn how to play his instrument, I will s

To: Adam and Allie

I have a lot of other things to blog about such as my obligatory VISA run to Laos and holiday to Ko Chang but for now... Here is a song I dedicate to my sister Allie and her fiance, Adam. (that sounds really weird and looks really weird typing it). I have been told that Adam is fond of this song called 'You and I'. It's by Ingrid Michaelson. It's a song that totally embodies the word cute and... more cute-ness.  You guys are the definition of a happy couple and deserve a happy song. So this song goes out to you two as you continue to do life together, grow in community with others and enjoy the beginning of your engagement. Coveting you all in prayer too.   For you two, with love from Chantaburi,  xo Amy   P.S. I had fun making this little video. My voice can only go so deep for the male part- 'he' sounds pretty sexy if you ask me. Pardon the scruffy look, yesterday was a free day. School was cancelled due to flooding and I

Posture Your Heart

I was sitting uncomfortably on the charter bus, like the Hunch Back himself, as we plow down the road back to Bangkok. We were at a rest stop. I looked out the window at a vacant concrete parking lot. My mind was wandering. What's new? isolated. angry. fireworks of accusation. disorder of thought. pointing fingers. not understanding. the enemy of my soul emphasizing imperfections running around teasing the healed parts. How many times do I have to put situations on the Altar for me to understand it is not my battle to fight? How many prayers does it take to realize His higher ways?! From behind me, hands press on the sore spots of my shoulder blades. Fingers move in pulsed circles. It was Carol, the 'cool mom'/teacher/massager/yoga instructor/friend who started giving me a thai massage. Instantly she could read my body language by how I held my upper body . As she lengthen my (already 'giraffe') neck and opened my shoulders to their healthy place of w
