12 hours

12 hours and I will be boarding a plane to start my journey to Cambodia! We will arrive in Cambodia on Monday at 9am there time which is Sunday at 10pm. My heart is giddy yet heavy. I am excited to meet the girls at the safe homes and start this adventure. I am so unaware of what all is going to happen, and this part makes me excited because God is in control... so it's going to be so amazing that I cannot even imagine it.

Packing last night was interesting. We are not checking personal bags. So I have a laptop bag and a duffle bag as my carryon. I was going to use a roll-away-bag but it kept weighing 18.3 lbs... and it has to be 15lbs. So I switched bags and it weighed 14.8lbs, which is wonderful except that it is going to be a lot to carry... but it's all good!

My clothes are sprayed, my travel bags are full. My mind is wondering what I will experience, and my heart is at peace.

Here are some things to keep in your thoughts and prayers:

1. Safety in traveling there and back (there are 12 of us on the team)

2. A good transition in the time change as Cambodia is 11 hours ahead of Indy.

3. A soft heart for me to be open to all that is in store.

4. Safety while on the streets and in the city.

5. The girls at the safe house, that we might bond with them and show them God's love.

6. My emotions while I am there and seeing things that might break my heart.

Those are all of the ones that I can think of for now. You can email me or facebook me while I am gone, I just will not have my phone on.

12 hours and I will be on my way to my 1st stamp in my passport! I am so excited for all that is going to happy in this journey! More stories to come I am sure of it!
