150727 Thank you for a fun day with Mr. K

Dinner is served! 

D-6.

Cambodia mission trip is happening in 6 days from today. Around this time next Monday, I will be probably flying somewhere close to Korea. It really hasn't hit me yet that I'm leaving in less than a week! Honestly, I will feel it once I arrive at the airport in Phnom Penh next week.

It was my last day to spend time with Mr. K because we are both leaving for missions next week. On top of that, I'm staying in Korea for a bit to visit my family on my way home from Cambodia, which means that I will be away for about a month. So technically, we won't be seeing each other for almost entire August! It will be the longest time not seeing each other since we've met. But we will both be okay! Right?

I'm gonna use the remainder of my time in prayer. I've been so busy with the logistics and preparation of ministries, that I didn't spend much time in prayer for Cambodia as much as I wanted to. This mission trip is meaningless if I don't pray and depend on myself. I want to spend the rest of my time with God as much as possible. I pray that both of us will spend a lot of time in prayer as we wrap up our preparation for missions this week.

Ever since I joined the team to go to Cambodia for a short term mission trip, whenever I had the opportunity to hang out with my friends, I would bring it up. Interestingly, a couple of my friends have asked me about my blog - how they have been following it and that they received updates about me through this while I was away in Mexico two years ago.

Our team met today for our weekly meeting and at the end of the session, one of the co-leaders shared what he's been doing for some time that's been a good way for him to understand the Father's love for him. It was to count your blessings. He said he takes about five minutes at the end of the day, and write down the things that he's thankful for for that day. When he shared, it automatically reminded me of my blog that I've been abandoning for the longest time. More and more I'm realizing how my perspective towards many things have changed (not in a good way but bad) when I compare myself now to myself back when I used to blog daily. I think was more humble, more joyful, and less complaining back then. It wasn't just blogging, but giving thanks to God daily. Although I still give thanks to God and praise Him, I definitely think that the joy in my heart in giving thanks to God decreased from then.

I feel like it's God who wants me to come back to blogging again. Well, not so much for the sake of blogging, but by doing this so that I am able to reflect my day and think about the things I'm thankful for. I'm thanking God for giving me the desire to blog again.
