Trusting in HIM
I fight against my own selfishness that would try to contain or inhibit something as beautiful as my experience here and release it all to GOD, who cannot be contained or limited. And there is freedom, there is growth, and above all there is HIS unfailing love.
I release, trusting in HIM.
You see, it was my last day of teaching today, and my heart has been restless. I sit in our living space at 1:15 a.m. looking at the door waiting for it to open as it has done so many times this past month. When the door opens, we step into the beautiful city of Seim Reap, our home. I can still hear the echoes of the morning chores. I can still feel the stirring in the air of a new day. I can still see the faces of the wonderful students who laughed, smiled, and eagerly reached their hands up ready to share the knowledge they have learned as they shout out, “teacher, me…teacher, me”.
I release, trusting in HIM.
As desperately as my heart tries to hold onto my time here, I release, knowing that all that GOD has and continues to do here, is not of me and that there is nothing I can do that could even compare to GOD’s greatness and faithfulness. I release, knowing that my life here is now a part of me, as GOD, my teacher, has revealed more and more truth of HIS love that has been felt as HE has walked with me through each day. I release, understanding that as wonderful as my experience here has been, as beautiful the hearts are that I have encountered, it all leads to GOD, who is always with me, with us, where ever we are, as we follow where HE leads.
I release trusting in HIM.
