The amount of work we've done in the past 4 days is astonishing. Walking on these paths that we helped build is beyond rewarding. The transformation that has happened in the last 4 days can only be described as God-sized.
Yesterday after lunch the heat and humidity, the physical labor and long days got to us. We had so much tile to lay and all of us were doubtful we could finish, yet we weren't saying that out loud. Still there was a palpable sense we all felt. As we finished lunch rain came pouring down. The temperature dropped 10, maybe 15 degrees. The rain galvanized the kids and our team and we got so much work done. This can only be described as God doing for us what we could not do ourselves.
We worked in the rain for hours. The kids were all shivering because they were cold from the rain. We were all so happy for a respite from the heat.
Our God is ever faithful. Why do we get surprised when He shows up? I guess it's our human nature? God showed up in Kenya when we had to dig half a mile of trenches. God showed up in Cambodia when the odds were against us. Our God is an awesome God!
Tomorrow we say goodbye to the kids and head to Siem Reap. Then we leave on Saturday. Saying I'm blessed to have been on this trip is an understatement. God had a lot to show and teach me and He wanted me to come to Cambodia to learn it. I think I'll be taking lessons away from this trip for some time to come.
God bless.
James
