Hannah: God is my beautiful father who has gave me the freedom to live!
These are my adventures being a missionaire Kid and the greater things that are yet to come!
Hey, I’m a Missionaries Kid
So this is the question, How did I get here? Of course my mum gave birth to me blah blah blah but I mean How am I the person I am today?
I was born in a Christian family, my dad was a Pastor and my mum was working so that meant I was a ‘PK’ (Pastors Kid). A few years later my mum left us, I actually didn’t know what was going on, now I understand. BUTT God didn’t leave us.
Another year past and now I have a new mum. Everything was good. But I felt something missing from my life. I went to my first DIGJC camp (WHICH WAS AMAZING) and that’s where I encountered God. I gave my life to Him because I knew without Christ, I Am Nothing! So my was complete with Him but my Journey wasn’t.
Being a teenager, I had heaps of problems and I felt like I just wanted to give up and fall down but I remembered that if God is my reason to live, why should I have a reason to quit. God pulled me out of the horrible storm and I really thank God for that :) I remember a time when I was just in my room and I felt Gods love while doing my devotions, yeah God is Good!
I never expected to hear ’ Where going to a different country to be missionaries.’
But one night my dad just randomly said ‘We’re moving to Thailand.’
Me= ‘O.O’ (what the heck)
I was actually crying, I didn’t want to move… I had a good school, good friends, DIGJC (I missed them the most) and my birth-mum.
I finally realized God has better plans for me and great thing are yet to come in my life!
Although I was upset about leaving my friends, family and birth-mum… God is with me… He is all that I need!
So I made it to HK (we are actually based there and we do missions in thailand) and all is good. I have good friends, the shops are great, I have a church and a youth group. While settling in only for 2 months God had different plans. ‘We’re going to Thailand’
Me= what? why? huh? God why all of a sudden?
I questioned God but I also knew God Had a plan and I had to trust in him and obey him.
OK… ALMOST DONE!!!!
So now I’m currently living in Thailand and Thank God for all the providence he has given us. Although I might not have friends to look at or talk to in person. My devotions is what keeps me going and God who is my friend that I can run to and talk to.
How am I the person I am today? God has taught and will teach me wonderful things, He has been with me every step and has been leading me. He has made me realize, he is all that I need and I don’t need the worthless things on this earth… only him!
So God is my father, King and Saviour. I’m running the race with him and whenever I fall, he is here to pick me up :)
I am a missionaries kid and I’m not perfect but but I have a perfect God!
Since I have been in thailand for almost 3 days… I’m always worrying about ‘what’s next?’ I care too much about tomorrow than today, or I’m still in yesterday! I remember a verse: Matthew 6:34. ‘Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.’
And this is right… I should care for today and not worry about tomorrow.
So stop living in tomorrow and start living in today
