Although the spirit behind this trip at first was to simply take a break from my job and refocus, it has now taken on a much bigger meaning, and one that I plan to share with all those listening throughout my time away.
The first step is to get there! I have a few small things still to get done this morning before heading off to the airport, and am enjoying having coffee in my home for the last time in while. I am already completely packed (with lots of room to spare!), but there are a few work things I want to wrap up before leaving. Ironically, I am not worried at all about being away from work, and am actually really excited to see how things unfold while I'm gone. Not to say that it won't be hard for me to completely shut it off, but I have a hunch that once I get over there and have my first day at the orphanage, my trust in the team at Sixthman will completely take over and I will be ALL IN with my heart, soul and energy with those kids.
My journey begins with an awesome ride to the airport from Sarah (thanks girl!) - a 14 hour flight direct to Seoul, South Korea - a 2 hour layover - 4 hour flight to Cambodia - a then 10 minute car ride to my new 'home'. Whew!
I will be in a different world, literally, when I write again, having just spent my 1st day trying to get one step closer to why I was lead there. I am feeling just about every emotion possible, but know God will be by my side the whole time, as he is always.
Praying for safe travels, clarity in my journey and persistence to discover.
More on Wednesday!
