My sweet Khmer girlđ€
Goodbyes are so bittersweet. Itâs difficult to leave people youâve built relationships with. But what a blessing it is to love people so deeply that itâs hard to leave them. Cambodia has been my very first overseas country to serve in. I donât have much experience to make a proper judgment, but in my little time with other people groups the Khmer people have been the sweetest. Cambodia has truly stolen my heart.
During our time in Cambodia God has emphasized the importance of long term missions. Iâve learned that trust has to be built and relationships have to be nurtured. All this is especially true when thereâs a significant cultural differences between yourself and another person. Although we did build relationships with the people we served, there were still barriers that could not be crossed in the matter of a month. Because of these barriers I often felt kind of useless.
I was humbled to be reminded that anytime we give God our âyesâ to serve him, itâs actually just a âyesâ to an invitation to witness him in action. Thatâs still true if the action is performed with our hands or not. Itâs still just God in action and itâs just simply a privilege to see him move first hand.
Ok bye!!! Love you!!!
Stay tuned to hear about Thailand!!!!
