It's official!




It’s offical! I have my one way ticket to Cambodia! I know…I was supposed to leave this month, but God has had other plans.

After talking with Don, the director of Agape International Missions, I was told that I would need to wait to go to Cambodia. Don and his wife Briget will be in the U.S. through the month of January and potentially February. Rather than having me fly into Cambodia when they are not in the country, I was asked to wait.c

I was very disappointed when I got the email. My first reaction was: No! I’m ready! I’m excited! I want to go! But after talking with one of my best friends it was pointed out to me what a blessing this is.

God has blessed me not only with this opportunity, but has blessed me with the knowledge that I will be under the leadership of people who care about not only the people we will be working with, but genuinely care about the people on their staff. While slightly disappointing initially, it has also provided time- much needed time.  Time to finish preparing financially, spiritually, and preapring the hearts of myself and my family.

So there it is, God has given time in abundance to prepare and now it’s just a matter of weeks! At 12:05 am on March 1st the adventure begins!!!!!!
