Called By God?

“Called by God.” This phrase is used by so many people, but what does it sound like? Well I can’t speak for most people but I can take a shot on what my exuberance has been about. But, warning, this blog will contain the following (laughter, sarcasm, dad jokes, a BUNCH of misspelled words, random incomplete thoughts, and a lot of God doing some righteous stuff). As Samwise Gamgee once said “It’s dangerous business going outside your door, mister Frodo. You never know were you might get swept off to.” …but I want to get swept far away...

It didn’t take long for me to notice that Cambodian locals are extremely friendly. Within 15 minutes I had two people approach me to chat.

While praying on the plane I felt like this month would be a month of sacrifice. We are going to be working at an...
