Living the Call: April 2013
http://ajcrabtree.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Join me on my journey to the other side of the world as I follow where God leads me. Thursday, April 18, 2013. Last week, April 8th-13th, Thomas and I travelled to a Lahu Training Center outside of Chiang Dao to help with the Lahu Christian Camp. We didn't really know what to expect, but it was pretty similar to a church camp at home. The first day was the arrival day for everyone. After checking in and settling in, there was dinner served in the evening followed by a worship service. Group of little kids.

Living the Call: May 2012

Join me on my journey to the other side of the world as I follow where God leads me. Monday, May 21, 2012. Another lesson I learned came to me when I was exercising one day. (I know - such a random time! Right in the middle of my work out, this verse popped into my head:. I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.". Spoken by Jesus and can be found in Matthew 18:3). So, how does this apply to approaching God as a child? Following t...

Living the Call: January 2012
http://ajcrabtree.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Join me on my journey to the other side of the world as I follow where God leads me. Sunday, January 8, 2012. This morning, I attended church at The Gathering, an international church with an English service. Every time I've attended church here since I've been in Thailand (not even a handful), the message is exactly what I needed to hear on that day. Today was no different. This was that song for me today -. Just singing these words would have been enough, but God didn't stop there. Second, my trial, su...

Living the Call: October 2012
http://ajcrabtree.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Join me on my journey to the other side of the world as I follow where God leads me. Monday, October 29, 2012. The October newsletter I sent out was a bit different than my previous months' updates. I wanted to reflect back on my first year here. Most of you that read my blog probably receive my newsletter as well, but I wanted to put this out there for those who don't receive my newsletter. I can’t believe my first year in Thailand has come and gone! Shortly before I came here, God gave me a passion for...

Join me on my journey to the other side of the world as I follow where God leads me. Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Field Trips and a Holiday. The beginning of April was full with field trips with my Thai language school & a major holiday in Thailand. It all started on the 6th with a field trip to go bamboo rafting. Teachers, students, and their families all went for a day of rafting down the river, swimming, and eating lunch together. It was a fun time! Getting on the rafts to begin our float journey.

Living the Call: November 2011

Join me on my journey to the other side of the world as I follow where God leads me. Thursday, November 24, 2011. It is amazing to see how God is working there! We also talked with the evangelists about the next medical mission trip with the team coming from ACC again. We discussed many ideas and possibilities. It was really neat that as we were discussing the next mission trip, the team was preparing to hold their first fundraiser for that trip! Below are some pictures from the trip. Consulting my trust...

Join me on my journey to the other side of the world as I follow where God leads me. Tuesday, March 12, 2013. Hi to those of you who still check in with my blog! Sorry for the long pause in posting! Since my one year update, I've travelled to Burma for a week of health education teaching, spent time in the States with my family and friends over the holidays, and returned to Thailand. Shortly after I returned to Thailand, my friend Kellee turned 30 and her daughter, Kora, turned 1! And yes, I ate them!

African Adventures: Bonding: Day 3
http://gocongo.blogspot.com/2011/04/bonding-day-3.html
Thursday, April 21, 2011. We got everything up out of the ground, killed a spider (spelled that spyder the first time), and cleared the area around the fence. While I was doing the latter bit of work there was lots of foliage around me. This didn’t worry me, but after a few moments I heard “Pay attention! Yard who aren’t supposed to be there, shove people out of the way when. It’s their turn to do something; they are ALWAYS the center of. Attention. Which is probably why Taylor and I like them so much.

African Adventures: May 2011
http://gocongo.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 6, 2011. Home again, Home again, Jiggity Jig. It's been nine days since we landed in the States. And today, I am emotional. I want to walk everywhere. I want to eat fish and bugali. I want to speak in Swahili. I want to tell all my middle school girls that those tiny shorts they are wearing are inappropriate, and they need to wear long skirts to school. I'm so happy to be home. But I so much miss being in Africa. I want both things. I want to be home, I want to be in Africa. M...I feel like I...
