What would people say?

"Separated, I cut myself clean, from a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams, been apprehended by a spiritual force, and a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced, I saw a man with a tat on his big fat belly, it wiggled around like marmalade jelly, it took me a while to catch what it said, cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head, 'Jesus Saves' is what it raved in a typical tattoo green, he stood on a box in the middle of the city, and claimed he had a dream, What will people think, when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak, What will people do when they find that it's true, I don't really care if they label me a Jesus Freak, There ain't no disguising the truth, Kamikaze my death is gain, I've ben marked by the maker, a peculiar display, the high and lofty, they see me as weak, cause I won't live and die for the power they seek, there was a man from the desert with naps in his head, the sand that he walked was also his bed, the words that he spoke made the people assume, there wasn't too much left in the upper room, with skins on his back and hair on his face, they thought he was strange by the locusts he ate, the pharisees tripped when they heard him speak, until the king took the head of this Jesus Freak, What will people think, when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak, what will people do when they find that it's true, I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak, there ain't no disguising the truth, people say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger, that my best friend was born in a manger!" - DC Talk Jesus Freak

I will take away the chariots from Ephraim and the war-horses from Jerusalem, and the battle bow will be broken. He will PROCLAIM PEACE to the nations. His rule will extend from seat to sea adn from the river to the ends of the earth. - Zechariah 9:10

Hello everyone! I am doing well here in Thailand. We arrived in Chiang Mai this morning on an over night bus from Bangkok. It has been great here in Thailand so far. We have been on the go ever since we got here. I have been reminding me of this song and how we have to not care what people think of us when we proclaim the name of Jesus when we are in public places. I am a warrior for God and I have to stay strong for the nations we are going to be in and for the places we will be in rather they are spiritually dark or when we meet people on the street. We can't let the fear of man over take us. If we let that happen then there is no point in doing anything because we are to worried about what people think. Thailand has such an amazing culture. The people here are so amazing and nice. We have realized as a team and I have realized as an individual that we really do have authority here when we walk in the streets and when we go into places. God is so good and amazing. He has really blessed me and what he has been teaching me are things that I could only learn here and now with the people that I am with. We will most likely be going into Laos next week or in two weeks but we aren't sure. Although we don't really  speak their language we can still communicate. It's interesting but cool at the same time. People have the same sort of body language so I have found that I communicate best that way by hand gestures and by smiling, they are so nice. It hasn't really been a big culture shock I've found which is suprising because I thought it would be. Other than adjusting to the heat and the humidity it has been pretty good. Chiang Mai is nice and cool around 60's at night and 70-80 during the day. Bangkok was about 95 with a humidity index of 94%. Crazy hot! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New year! I do have a prayer request and that is for my health. I have a bad cold with a stuffy nose, cough, and a fever. So I would really appreciate your prayers Thank you and God Bless!!!
