Mailings

Just so everyone knows... labeling and stuffing envelopes for mailings is exactly the same here in Thailand as it is in the States, except that you can't read the addresses because they're in Thai.

This past week we started working with Partners, http://www.partnersworld.org, and the Free Burma Rangers, http://www.freeburmarangers.org. They are both doing some really interesting work with refugees on the border and IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons). Wednesday we labeled envelopes with some FBR guys for the Global Day of Prayer for Burma (March 12th) and Thursday I fixed computer issues and Catherine helped with the mailing of the Partners newsletter. It was good busy work for us since we've been feeling a little under-productive recently. However, we are slowly learning the reality that we can not derive our self-worth from what we are doing and must look to something else... that something else hopefully being God. Waiting is difficult though and I realize how little I actually believe that my worth comes from God and not my own plans and actions. Monday we go to work at Partners again. They are thinking about switching to Mac and want to reorganize (or just organize... :-) their computers, network and backup solutions, so I will help with all that over the next month or so. We also have the possibility of going down to the border for a couple weeks with Partners to work in schools for migrant workers' children and we're considering how we might work that in to our plans.
