We got home from Cambodia one week ago tonight - almost to the minute that I'm writing this. I wish, oh, how I wish I could sit down and update our blog more often. Right now I am compiling everything so I can just "spill the beans" about our trip and how it affected us this year. It was completely amazing, humbling and life changing all together. I am a different person because of it.
I am so thankful to the amazing people in our life who have been so supportive both financially and by sending encouraging e-mails, cards, texts, facebook posts, etc. Really, just a simple line saying "I'm praying for you," means just as much as anything. I wish I could "bottle up" Cambodia and give you a glimpse as to what we do, how it changes you so that you can experience it, too. But, hopefully by looking at the pictures and reading about it, you will get a glimpse of our hearts, the people, the children and the Holy Spirit will move on your heart what he wants you to get out of it too.
There are many things to write about, but right now what is really on my mind is just how simple life is, how simply ministry is and God wants to give us a "simplistic" perspective on life and what really matters. What really does matter to you? Sometimes we skim over those types of questions and don't really think about it, but for us, we are forced to think about what really matters when we're face-to-face with children who eat once a week because of someone's heart to feed them, who otherwise would likely starve to death. I have to think about what matters because I've spent time with little girls who have been rescued from sex trafficking and have lived nightmares none of us can imagine. I don't write this to send you into a depression but hopefully to help you to stop and think, what matters in life? Is it money, position, career, friends, vacation, schedules, etc.? While those things are necessary, in our heart of hearts, we know what matters but those other things can all to often creep in and preside over what God wants us to focus on. So, take a few minutes and quietly talk to God about your thoughts and ask him for His perspective on what matters - you won't be disappointed.

Great post. Simplicity is bliss and I think we forget that. We make life too complicated when it is the simple things that matter. So enjoyed the pics....there were some amazing ones in there. Truly captured the spirit over there.
