#9 It won't always just happen.

CHINA | Saturday, 27 Jun 2009 | Views [142]

China has been pretty weird for me. I've enjoyed what we've been doing, well some of it, but I haven't been feeling like we're doing a lot. Sitting in a leper colony somewhere shaving heads, washing hair, cleaning or simply having dinner/lunch with the ... Read more >

# 7 Chinatown. Nah, China!

CHINA | Saturday, 13 Jun 2009 | Views [142]

# 6 Vulnerability

CAMBODIA | Saturday, 6 Jun 2009 | Views [105]

I don't understand God. At all actually! I do'nt get why we are made to not be able to do anything without Him but He lets us when we try. I don't get why He lets us hurt when He hurts twice as much for us -- apparently. Why does He let us struggle and ... Read more >

Arm I

CAMBODIA | Saturday, 30 May 2009 | Views [104]

Holy Moley! I have the hugest infection on my arm. It's like in my armpit so it hurts a lot because it is always rubbing against my shirt or bra. It's raw! and is spreading so much because it just causes more blisters and rash or whatever it is that's ... Read more >

#5 Children

CAMBODIA | Thursday, 28 May 2009 | Views [134]

This week started with what will probably be our last day at the Love in Action orphanage. It was a lot of fun but very sad. I spent a lot of my time teaching them how to dance which was awesome for me. I loved it! We also did a "You Are Special ... Read more >

#4 Beautiful

CAMBODIA | Friday, 22 May 2009 | Views [181]

I have fallen in love with this country. I don't know what it is about it. The people, the language, the city, the children... they are all beautiful! I'm especially loving the children and the language. I've been slowly learning the language from the ... Read more >

Cambodia!

CAMBODIA | Sunday, 17 May 2009 | Views [140]

First of all I have to say that Thai Airlines is my favorite airline ever! I got to play Dr Mario, have some great food, watch awesome movies, sit in a purple chair with a yellow and pink one beside me. Listen to fun Thai lounge music, and they kept ... Read more >

AUSTRALIA | Friday, 15 May 2009 | Views [204]

#2 I am Never Alone

AUSTRALIA | Saturday, 9 May 2009 | Views [152]

Alright so this is now going to be used as my journal for YWAM. Every entry that starts with a # in the title is a journal entry. They will probably be the only entries I do. I may add one here or there but chances are I'll just have the school ones ... Read more >

Change

AUSTRALIA | Thursday, 23 Apr 2009 | Views [166] | Comments [1]

I have been at YWAM, a student of the University of Nations, for 10 days. God has already taken my life and flipped it inside out. He's taken things and shaken them around. My world has been torn apart but in a good way. He's taken things from my life ... Read more >
