Our last week here in Cambodia was so amazing and as Friday came to a close, I was a little sad. It flew by so quickly and I could only expect the second week to do the same. I was reminded of our youth pastor, Connie lannom's pep talk at the beginning of vbs a couple of weeks ago. She had done some math and figured out we had 90,000 seconds to invest in our youth that week! Which sounds like a lot but those seconds sure do fly by. I'm not sure how many seconds we have been given with our kids here, but I know already that I wish I had more. I'm doing my best to be intentional with every second I am given with these little ones.
And with that I am sure that I am learning more from them than they are from me. To remove all the distractions of the world, like the phone and the to-do lists and be like a child. To worship God without abandon, smile and giggle because it's fun and feels good, and not be stingy with love. We came here to bring aid and refreshment to a hurting community, but I feel we got so much more in return. So with four days left, those seconds are sure to disappear quickly. But mark my words I will make everyone
A piece of my heart will surely stay in Svay Pak.
