Preparing for the unknown...

I am not sure how much I can update when I am actually in Cambodia but for those who want to remain a support and have been asking for specifics.. here's more into the transition and preparation process...

Just moved from the little, cute yellow house filled with housemates that have become like family. Graduated from college. Left those gates of Montreat, sent off from Missio Dei Church, and left the city of Asheville this past Sunday. What a whirlwind!

I had the chance to see some more family on the way down to Florida and now am back in my hometown at my parent's house. It is a weird transition and difficult preparing for experiences that I have no clue what may come. But I know, that it is working out and I am getting excited for this adventure ahead. All the financial part, which before seemed so big, is now covered!

Every detail is coming together. Every moment I become really discouraged a beautiful reminder occurs.. here is one example..

This past Sunday it became harder to leave than I thought and I was not really looking forward to this transition but then encouraged by a text with a reminder of amazing people that are waiting for me in good ole' St.Cloud. Then having Koffman and Carly pray over me. Then seeing a close friend I have not seen since 2008 who just showed up not knowing I would be there but such a blessing to both of us.

Then the reminder that great things are coming in Cambodia.. a girl that was adopted from Cambodia was there and told me how excited she was for me and gave me $1 towards my trip. This reminded me of the widow's offering and how humbled I was to accept this gift. Seriously, the Lord has been involved in every detail (and every dollar) and it is so cool to see it unfold.

For those who have been supporting me, whether financially or through the prayers and encouragement, THANK YOU!! You have no idea how much it means to have people behind this and giving me the courage to keep going.

So 12 days left..

Please pray for the time here in Florida and the preparation that is left
Pray for health!
For the rest of the team
For the girls that we will soon meet
For strength, energy, rest, excitement, and readiness.
And whatever else is placed on your heart to pray for :)
