First off let me start off by saying the previous blog was about I did last month and this blog is about my feelings from Cambodia. They are both about the same month but this one will be much harder to right and even harder for me to put into words because they are actually emotions and for me it is hard to put those into words.
I feel like God broke my heart for Cambodia. It is a place that I will not easily or quickly forget, nor do I want to. This whole trip I have heard others with me say that they have been called to countries that we have been to and I actually wondered if that would ever happen to me. I wondered if I would go on this eleven month adventure and see all the injustices of the world and come home and go back to “normal life”. Go back to the pursuit of the American Dream of house, wife, kids, career, and retirement. I am not here to speak against that because God calls everyone differently but for me it might not look that perfectly cut out. I believe that there are those that are called to everything from doctor (or PA-C) to stewardess to missionary. We as christians are called to live our empowered and called life wherever that may be, in an office or in the rice fields of Cambodia. I thought that I was called to work in a business and I totally believe that God has prepared me through my education and my future finishing of my MBA to start or maybe own businesses in the third world that benefit the local people and therefore change the outcome of their lives. Do I fully understand what this looks like or what specifically I will do, NO, but I do know that I am called to go and be and stop number one will be Cambodia. When or where or how I have to leave that up to God. I will do everything on my end to prepare myself to go whenever the opportunity comes and then believe that my heart aches for this little country west of Vietnam called Cambodia because God has called me to bring His kingdom to there and show people his almighty love.
Love you All,
Cody
