This looks like being quite a busy week... It would have been great to have a few days just to be still, to declutter, to take time to listen to God and get ready in His strength. (Would be good to get the mountain of admin off my office floor too!) But God has His own ways of speaking to us, and I'm trusting that He'll get us each ready for what we will see and do when we get there in ways we haven't thought of.
Anyway, it's enough of a luxury that we get to go to Poipet at all - the CHO workers in Poipet haven't even been been out of Cambodia before (except Chomno). So maybe it's good that we have to prepare and seek God in amongst the busyness of an ordinary week with all the last-minute stuff flying around. Because that's the reality of the people's lives we're going to visit - relentless hard work, serving the Lord faithfully and the poorest people of their community diligently.
Lord, make us useful, let us make a tiny difference, even for a few days. But please open us up too - eyes, ears, hearts, understanding - so that we can be changed and challenged, so that we can grow, so that we can make a difference when we return.
And please help me to get through the admin...!
