jars of clay, art projects, and loving God’s people
The day in Phnom Penh was another special day. I’m learning to walk with God in expectancy. God is ALWAYS up to some really cool stuff. We said farewell to the ministry organization we had been primarily working with, Daughter’s. While at Daughters main operation, the Day Center where products …
noodles, answered prayers, and sweet babies
CARLA is a VERY hard word for people in Thailand and Cambodia to say. I was nicknamed “Cola” by our translator, Mawn, in Pattaya Thailand. Embracing my new nickname has made introductions fun and my name easy to remember. I say, “My name is COLA, like Cocoa-Cola. Easy!!” Hahaha! Balancing …

Salutations fellow journeyers! Yesterday, at the internet cafe, I could not figure out how to log in and post on the blog– the words are automatically in Thai. I am learning a few words: hello, sorry!, NO, yes, what is your name?, how much does this cost? This So, this evening, …

Hello friends and family! I am typing this update to you from the dining hall. The dining hall is the place of ACTIVITY. When we are not eating in this room? We are doing homework, talking, playing cards, drinking instant coffee (no instant coffee doesn’t gross me out anymore!) just …
