Monday? It must be.

I'm going to tell you all a funny story:

I drove home from Sacramento yesterday afternoon/evening after my meetings. I was sleeeeeeeepy so I got a bit of coffee but it was gross so I didn't drink all of it. Then I foolishly got a meal combo? (who am I? I never get those. . . whatever, clearly I'm crazy) A soda came with it . . . oh bother. I drank a small cherry coke (it'd been sooooo long so I was excited and drank it) So when it came time for me to go to bed at 10 pm. . . it wasn't happening. . . I finally fell asleep at 2 am. . . oy. 

Then I didn't get up at my normal 5 am . . . duh. I got up late, rushed around. Got a phone call at 6:37 as to the alarm going off at school but the church member who was at the church to turn the alarm off didn't have the key to the school so I pull the curlers out of my hair (don't judge I am going through a midlife hair crisis) Grab the rest of my stuff and head out the school. As I back up out of the drive I realize I don't have my glasses. I needed them because I was going on a field trip and was driving. So I pull back in and dash up to the door. Now I meant to hit the UNlock button but apparently hit the LOCK button. . . car is running and is now locked, it's almost 7 am (when I'm normally at school) and keys are in the car, field trip is coming and I'm late. Oy. Then my friend called because they were praying for me in their worship time and thought it would be better to pray with me on the phone. That was nice, a bit embarrassing but I sure needed it! 

No I don't have AAA (but believe you me I'm going to get it today! And I'm getting 3 spare keys made to put in my house!) so I called Doc's towing for a fix into my car. 

He came and I made it to the school by 7:45am. Made copies of consent to treat forms and said hello to kids as they arrived. As we were having worship (late because I was finishing prep stuff) I realize I had tooth paste on my shirt. Oy.

So I'm back now from our field trip down the road to the apple orchard and I think it's going to be okay.

That's my day today, so far. What a crack pot deal.

Sounds like it was the best of times and the worst of times. I'm impressed.

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...
