Whether it has been the constant sweat dripping down my face, cockroaches scuttling about, or God taking me to a new level of abandonment and uncomfortability, folks I’ve hit that month where I’ve realized what the essence of the World Race is: abandonment and pressing into God through the really tough and uncomfortable moments.
Ive learned a deeper meaning of what it means in life to choose to wake up each day with a good attitude and positive outlook on what God can do through you in that day. To wake up knowing You have purpose for this new day and that you may not know what it is but God does. God met me in our sweaty room in the Cambodian church on our first night last week and asked me whether I would choose to sit in the uncomfortability and complain or choose to press into it and gain all that He has through the uncomfortability this month.
“Abandon a little more and rely on materialism a little less.” Choose to find joy in the sweaty sweet moments shared by teammates, locals, and our ministry. Lessons I’ve been learning. 🙂
I’m grateful for the constant uncomfortability this month because I’m learning to trust God and choose Him even when it’s unfavorable.
God continues to teach me how constant He is in my life. I’m learning to practice being in his presence 24/7 and not just acknowledging Him sometimes.
Our ministry is super cool this month! We are working with Vietnamese refugees and helping out with several projects, teaching English, and assisting at the school/villages. Our host family is wonderful (Charles is from WA!!)! I feel like our team found our Cambodian/Vietnamese family and riding in the 12 seater van altogether as a group will be one of my fondest memories from this month. God is active and moving in Cambodia!
Have a wonderful and blessed Easter! A HUGE shoutout and THANK YOU to Mikayla’s parents for blessing us with a trip to the beach for Easter weekend. I am excited to celebrate Easter with my lovely teammates!
May you all encounter Jesus in new ways this weekend!
Love,
Michelle
P.S. Please pray for my health…I can’t seem to get fully healthy and now I have a sty or pink eye. Love you all!
