Cambodia Update


I can't believe that in less than four weeks from today our team will be flying to Cambodia! And we have a blog!!! We have a few posts already but if you remember last year we posted a ton of pictures and brief comments on our time at the orphanage, around Phnom Pehn, and Siem Reap.  Please feel free to check it out and keep up with us on the journey!

I first want to again thank everyone who has already put so much into our journey to serve; through planning, praying and pooling of resources even before we arrive at the orphanage. I am utterly amazed that more than half of the $3200 support needed has been raised. For those of you who would still like to contribute you can do so by either going online to http://www.goglobalx.org/, click on Give, the country is ‘Cambodia - Phnom Penh', the trip is 'Cambodia - Phnom Penh Christmas 12/02/10 - 12/12/10'.  Or you can make a check out to ‘North Point Community Church.’  Please mail the check to me (if you need my address please let me know).  Please try to give ASAP.  And, yes this contribution is tax deductible. 

Please continue praying for us as you have been.  Once again some of the prayer requests are:  (1) our team will stay unified, (2) we will endure safe travel,  (3) the children and community will be receptive to us and Christ, (4) God would use us as a way to share His love, and (5) through this amazing experience, we will continue to grow in our faith. 

I can't express enough how grateful I am to have each and everyone of you in my life. Thank you for your continued support!!

Christmas in November

I was fortunate enough to be able to fly home this weekend to see family!! Woo hoo!! I had a great time hanging out with everyone, chatting, catching up, watching football, playing games, eating (and eating and eating).  I couldn't have asked for a better weekend.  Here are some pictures to recap

Everyone who could make it!

Miranda & Joe's Alice in Wonderland Party

I had the best time at Miranda & Joe's Pre-Halloween Alice in Wonderland Party.  A gathering of great friends and a fun time!! I got to drink tea with the Mad Hatter, play crocket with the Queen of Hearts, and watch a movie with some Indians (ok, not quite sure how that played into the movie but it was fun anyway). 




You can check out the rest of the pictures here.

Sugar Shack

Some fun times around town with Kamaria and Tim.  We hit up Raging Burrito then Sugar Shack.  I wasn't the biggest fan of R.B. - to me it was just like any other burrito joint, except they didn't want to work with me on what I wanted.  Whateva...

Kamaria, Tim and I did have some fun taking photos though...

WinShape Retreat

I wanted to stop and take a minute to reflect on the time that I got to spend with my mission trip team.  We got to spend two days together at WinShape.  It was amazing to get together, to share our stories of what brought us to this point and to do some fun team building activities.  Since the whole team was there I thought you may want to see everyone.  Here we are...



We are a pretty good looking group if I could say so myself!  We also had a chance to climb a rock wall.  Not to brag or anything but I made it to the top (so did Elloa and Drew)!  What a lot of fun...


I know there were other cameras there so others may be able to upload some other great pictures from the weekend, however if you want to see all of the pictures that I have check the link on the side or click here.
