God's ways are higher than all others

-
I've decided I am not a huge deep thinker or an amazing writer. But what I do is express my thoughts.

I've seen God work in so many great ways. I have a friend who turned down a good camp job because he thought he would get this other way cool job. Turns out he didn't get it and it was to late to go to the camp job. So he had to wait awhile. He had no idea what God had in store for him to do. So he starts to make some short term plans. Turns out God had BIGGER plans for him and he got to go to Washington state to do this really cool camp. God's ways are higher.

I wanted to go to Tchad, but for awhile didn't think I was going to go. If the NAD had said okay from the begining they would have sent my Passport away and i wouldn't have been able to use it to go to Ashley's wedding in Mexico. God's ways are higher.
We just never know what He has in store for us. We never know why something might have happened in our life. What we do know is that God knows the plans He has for us, and they are plans for a future and to give us hope. He knows what He is doing, we just need to let go and let Him do His thing.

Whew! Apparently I've already gotten behind in reading your blog! And along with your thought, I know this one girl who thought she might go to grad school, and then Italy and now might be an x-ray tech. God is a giver of patience, I hear.

Revisiting secret places in the heart.

Emily is in Tchad and she finally posted something . I'll be honest when I was reading it my heart started racing and I was instantly transported there. I know what it's like to return to a place like that. Six months after I left the Hogar de Ninos in Honduras I found myself on a plane going back to visit for three weeks. There really is nothing better than going 'home' to a place you had thought you would never see again. I remember the feelings of wanting to jump off of the plane and run through the airport to find my friends. Then once I was on the REACH bus headed to el Hogar, I remember talking the WHOLE 2 hours with one of the girls from the home, the excitement was oozing out of me, and once the bus pulled into the gate of the hogar I ran out and up the hill into the arms of all the beautiful children. The feeling was amazing. Something akin to what I think heaven will be like. It was magnificent to touch and talk to all the kids again, to see their faces, when ...

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away. . .

When I got to the hospital for worship at 7am, little Ramadan, one of my little TB guys sat with me for worship, and he and I had a lot of fun I received the full amount of personal contact for the day. We looked at our hands, veins in our hands and tried not to giggle to loudly when we tickled each other. In the afternoon I didn’t worry about working on our math skills like I normally do. Normally I sit with my peds boys and we go over math stuff. We play a round of Uno and then work on numbers. With Climont, I work on going over basic numbers and recognizing them and then with Kumabus, I help him with multiplying and simple addition, which he is good at. With Ramada I go over addition. But yesterday I gave it all a break and we colored pictures. We just sat there and I sang and let them color whatever they wanted to. There was a nice breeze and a bag fluttered over to me so I took it and made it into a kite. I just sat there with the kids and tried to fly my kite. Soon it was time fo...

Shabbat Shalom

On Friday night last I went to the local Jewish community center (yes there is one here in Phnom Penh) and celebrated the opening of the Sabbath. I have a few things in common with the Jewish faith, as a Christian I also believe that Saturday is day that God set aside for worship. It's the day that we spend with God and family as a reminder that He is God and to slow down and be present. It starts Friday night at sundown and goes until sundown on Saturday. With the big difference in our beliefs being Jesus. Even with that difference I appreciated the connection that I was able to make with the way that Jesus brought in His Sabbath all those years ago. I went with Louise, the newest RAW Edu staff member and Olivia, the volunteer here for two weeks with an Eng literacy training team and who is actually Jewish. She was the main motivation for going, I wanted to help her find a bit of home in Phnom Penh. We arrived a bit late due to confusion of where it was. The room had a small d...
