Countdown - 13 hours

So, after a long day, I'm pretty much ready to go. It was touch and go at the sprint store, crying to the guy behind the counter, trying to explain how it was vital that I have my phone because I was expecting a call from a woman about some feet for Cambodians. They thought I was crazy. Guess I needed a good cry.
Anyways, that's all settled now. Seriously, I can't wait to leave. God has so clearly paved the way to get me to Cambodia that I know He must have some awesome plans for me there. I need to remember that He is in control of every second. He has proven to me that He is a far better planner than me. So be it with the kids, or the prosthetic students or patients, or my own teammates, or any random person that I come in contact with, I know God made me to further a part of His plan over there. Please pray that I am listening for His call and that I have the courage to act when necessary.
I don't think that my gifts are in sharing God's gospel. Although I hope that if I am called to do so, I can. But instead, my goal is really to shine God's love! God told us through John that when we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us. I want to be an example of that kind of love! I want the Cambodian people to know in their guts that there is a God who loves them. I want to be living evidence of that. I want them to know that nothing good I do comes from me - it only comes from the Holy Spirit living in me.
