The Hospital

Recently I started going to a local government hospital twice a week. I go and visit different patients that do not have any family or friends to come visit them. It has seeming to be a great open door and a good expirience as I am able to relate with the nurses and medical staff there as well. Every time I go, it always grips me, and I am reminded of the precious gift that life is. Just the simple act of sitting and talking with the people there brings me great joy. It is such a simple act, but I am excited as God has given me such love and grace for these people. Since there are many patients in one large room, many people are coming and leaving quite often, so everytime it may be someone new that I visit. If I can just brigthen thier day in a small way, and they are able to see a glimpse of just how much they are loved by our Father, it is worth it. Please pray with me that he would continue to show his ever present love, and the story of restoration to his people.

Hua Hin

This past weekend, I took off to Hua Hin by myself for a few days of relaxation and refreshment. It was so good to see a new place, to rest, and be encouraged. It rained off and on during my time there, but that did not stop me from enjoying the beach. I explored a small mountain called the mountain of chopsticks, read and wrote some, and really just had a lovely time on my little vacation. Here are some pictures...
