This post doesn't really have anything to do with Valentine's Day, besides the fact that it IS Valentine's day! Hope you have a wonderful day celebrating L.O.V.E. (song playing in head by Nat King Cole). But more importantly celebrating Love. (I'm now going on a tangent that wasn't originally intended when I wrote the first sentence). This morning I was reading Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer. The chapter was about the infiniteness of God and why we should be concerned with that aspect of God! Why? Because the fact that God is infinite means his attributes are infinite as well: Goodness, Mercy, Justice, Love. Infinite God=Infinite Love. Found not in candy hearts, roses or relationships but in Love Himself. Happy Valentine's Day!
Been reading Knowledge of the Holy and it is such a good book! It is very humbling and definitely leads me to worship how great our God is. I definitely suggest it to you!
Sunday, I went to the church that Campus Outreach sponsors. It was bigger than the church in Bangkok, and they have their own building. It was very cool for me to again be able to see and hear church in another language and culture. I also enjoyed making friends afterwards as I passed out American candy that I brought with me :D.
Monday, I led the first of six soccer clinics that I will be doing for the missionary kids while I'm here. We had about 12 kids, and had a lot of fun working on dribbling. I'm glad I have the opportunity to play soccer while I am here and use it to build friendships with the kids here.
I am very much enjoying being able to go out and meet with people, talk, and hear stories of God's work. Over the past few days, I've been able to talk with several people, and I have so enjoyed learning from them! I have had many impactful conversations in just the past few days, and I am now trying to record them all which is proving difficult! I wish I could write all the names of the people I've been talking with and how the conversations have provoked me to think about topics I haven't previously thought a lot about! I hate that I have to be broad, but otherwise this post would go on forever. Anyways, the past few days have been good, filled with conversations that align with the purpose of why I came here: to learn and observe!
Thank you for praying. God is faithful!
