It's Here

So the day has finally arrived. We leave for the airport in an hour and I don't think any of us have really wrapped our minds around it. How do you adequately prepare for a move as big as this? Not that we haven't spent the last year preparing (mentally, spiritually, emotionally, logistically...etc.) but we know that no matter how much time we put into getting ready there will always be some surprises that we didn't anticipate. Oh well! That is part of what we signed up for and are running at it full steam.
We spent a lot of our last week and a half visiting places and people that we wanted to say good-bye to and shed our share of tears. We are truly blessed to have sadness (on our part and on the part of others)as we leave. The alternative would be worse (people cheering our departure from the country).So far we are all healthy and so thankful for that. Again, we are so blessed to have so many of you sharing in this journey with us. We will be updating you on our progress...hopefully during our travels. Blessings!!

  2. Praying for each of you as you make this CHANGE, impacting the lives of people stateside as well as soon when you arrive and start contributing to amazing relationships in Cambodia.

    I am looking forward to hearing all about the adjustments, good and bad, knowing that GOD is going before you, one step at a time, one day at a time and has been working on each of you for such a time as this.

    Now more than ever you will have to reposition your chair, walk in others footsteps and help the rest of us realize what that looks like.

    Blessings and prayers, Nicole
