When I was 14 months old my parents made a life changing decision to become long term missionaries in Bangkok Thailand. I am forever thankful they did; growing up in Thailand has given me so many opportunities and experiences I would have never dreamed of had I grown up in the States. I grew up in a Christian family. When I was seven I knew I wanted Jesus in my life, so I excepted him as my Lord and Savior. Since then I have been walking with God every day; growing a little more, gaining a better understanding for how great my Lord is. I have really been able to see His work in my life and in the lives of those around me. He has helped me through many problems and during times I have been in doubt, He has always been there. Whenever I am in the dark, His light always shines through. He has put so many loving and caring people along my path. By the age of thirteen I knew I wanted to share with others how wonderful He is and what He has done for me, so I was baptized at the Evangelical church of Bangkok on November 13 2003. There is no way I would have made it in my life if it was not for Him. There is no way I could continue living my life without Him. I have climbed many hills and many mountains with him by my side and I am sure there are many more to come; even bigger problems, even bigger messes, even bigger mountains, mountains so tall, so steep I can’t even fathom, but I will climb them with the help of the Lord. I think about my dyslexia about how I have struggled with it day in, and day out and how at times I feel like giving up. I ask the lord why me; why do I have to carry this heavy burden. Although it has definitely been difficult, through it I have learned so much about myself, about other people, about how the world works, and about God I would not trade it for the world. I often get caught up in all the little details of life. As I look back on passed times were I have felt like there was no hope, I can see that God was working, He was always there. All those little details I spend hours worrying about ended up working out just fine. The Lord is so truly amazing and I am only beginning to understand, I have so much more to learn.
