This summer I have the incredible opportunity to travel to Cambodia with MILL missions. Myself and 12 other amazing people will spend two weeks working with rescued victims of slavery and human trafficking. We will be entering into such a delicate and God-starved environment, and we have the immense privilege of showing God's love to people who may have never experienced love in it's purest, simplest form. The more I learn about Cambodia, the more God breaks my heart for the people there. His people there. People who have been so completely broken and wounded that nothing but God's love and presence can heal them. To be honest, I'm still a little shocked that God is trusting me with such a huge responsibility.
I absolutely knew without a doubt that God wanted me to apply for this trip the minute it was presented at theMILL. People are always asking me, "Why Cambodia?" And I don't even really have an answer. I just knew.
This entire process has consisted of nothing but answered prayer. I prayed so hard that out of the 50+ people who applied to go to Cambodia, I would be one of the 13 chosen to go. And I was! I've prayed that he would provide me with the financial support I need. And he has! The day before I found out that I had a week before my $200 deposit was due, my roommate Autumn came to me and told me that she wanted to donate to my trip. How much? $200. Before I even knew to worry about coming up with the money, God provided it. Tomorrow is my second financial deadline, and $100 more is due. Last week I received two checks in the mail totaling $75, and I was planning on writing a check to cover the difference. I came home from clinical today and found an envelope on the table addressed to me with a $150 check inside. Since then, I haven't stopped smiling, because God has continued to reassure me every step of the way that he truly does want me in Cambodia.
And finally having confidence in one thing that I know I'm meant for is the best feeling in the world.
