Season of Change 10/09/2009

The red leaves, maroon coloured clay and delicious potatoes of PEI continue to make my visit to the island a savory treat to my senses. I've never regretted that Josh and I plan our visits to the east, in the fall season.
My in-laws continue to be amazing as they continue to go above and beyond, helping Josh and I fundraise for Cambodia. We'll be flying out of Halifax on the 20th. Josh and I couldn't be happier to return to Cambodian Mission Outreach. We've valued the time that we spent working at Double H Ranch and visiting our family and friends in North America, but five months has been a long furlough for us. We are antsy to return to the ministry and continue serving and plowing away, knowing that this desire has been deposited and entrusted to us by Jesus, and He continues to call us each day to serve Him.
 I do feel quite blessed to be able to look at my life and feel so passionate about what I'm doing. When it comes to the end of my life, I want so badly to be able to look back on my life and see that I have no regrets. I want to know that I said 'yes' to God, and did what I could with what He gave me. It might seem like a tall ambition, and I guess it is, but to think of living any other way scares me. I think we so easily stack up wishes and longings that are never fulfilled, and to us this has become normal instead of devastating. I figure that God’s faithfulness leaves me with no excuses.
Coming up, Josh and I have some engagements with good friends, dinners with family, and get togethers with our pastors.
Although the new believers at Cambodia lay in the forefront of our minds, there’s great wisdom in the advice to not look so far ahead that the opportunities at present are missed.

Furlough? That's a word you don't hear everyday! Come visit before you leave again :)
