Praise the Lord once again.

Psalm 103
 
Praise the Lord, my soul;
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
 
Praise the Lord, my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits—
 
who forgives all your sins
    and heals all your diseases,
 
who redeems your life from the pit
    and crowns you with love and compassion,
 
who satisfies your desires with good things
    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord works righteousness
    and justice for all the oppressed.

How beautiful the words from King David inspired by a Redeemer and Justice maker.

A brief summary of Mission Thailand's Progress:
I can not believe how soon things are coming to pass. Only 19 more days until leaving for Thailand!!! Thank you to my wonderful Team who have been faithfully praying! Also for Team members who have taken their time to help and to those who have sacrificed financially to help support this trip!! Praise the Lord!!!!!  So FAR funds amount approximately $3,709.24 dollars!!! This has been able to cover my air ticket, my visa costs, and initial application expenses. Left is $8,290.76 to go!

Today Mother took her time and even though she hates driving in D.C, drove me for me to apply for my visa, but we were not allowed in due to the hours for the public is only lasting from 9-12:30--even though it reopens later. Thankfully the trip helped inform me that we would need a money order and tomorrow we will try again, but my cousin will take me to apply.

I am also still writing support letters and have been really slow on sending letters out. I hope to finish them most of them by Monday--and send out appreciation notes as well!!!



Thank you for being a blessing and for your support. Hope this has been a Christmas Season to remember the reason of Life and mercy. Rest in the joy from the hope which comes from Jesus and His life which was not only a sacrifice, but one of servant characteristics.  Peace be with you. Keep posted for news to come :)
