I’m pretty sure that I had the best Valentines Day EVER yesterday.
I mean.. usually when V-Day rolls around I get all apathetic about how I don’t have that special somebody..
or I get sad about that one guy that I used to have, but don’t anymore.
WHATEVER.
This year I was able to spend Valentines Day with my amazing team and with over 200 Cambodians!
I wasn’t worried or sad that I was “alone” because.. I wasn’t!
Instead of teaching our regular night class of just english we got all of the students to come up to the church and we did a funny skit for them, danced like fools and my teammate Crystal shared a message about God’s LOVE.
(nerd, hippie, old lady and gangsta) haha
1st of all it was awesome because a lot of the students we teach at night are not believers so it was exciting to be able to share Jesus with them and what He’s all about.
2nd ..it was just so good to be reminded of all that for myself.
God’s love is mind blowing.
I am reminded of that every. single. day.
something I listened to last month said
“God loves us because He loves us
because He loves us
because He loves us
because HE LOVES US.”
There is nothing we can do to make Him love us more OR less.
He just loves us because that is WHO HE IS.
God is love.
I mean.. I don’t get it. I know I’m not the only one who doesn’t get it.
But.. it’s the truth.
And I hope that I’ll continually be reminded of this.. that He loves me.
and that you’ll know that He loves YOU.
and He loves the people here in Cambodia.
and we get to share that love!
My prayer for this month and this year is that God would keep on teaching me about His endless love.. how I can just accept it for what it is and to share that love with everyone around me.
……………………………………………….
I would also just like to let everyone know that yes, my team and I are teaching english this month.
It really isn’t my favorite thing to do.. but I hope that by the end of the month I LOVE it.
It definitely takes me out of my comfort zone. I get worried that I’m not doing it right and that I look stupid..that I’m not making a difference.
But that’s just obviously a lie from satan and therefore.. NOT true.
Even though I’m not always comfortable teaching english I know that I’m here for a reason.
I seriously adore the people here.
the country is beautiful..
I can’t imagine being anywhere else than right where God has me.
