WOW! One more day to Super Cambos goes off to Cambodia! Jon is safely there now, thank God!

Hope everyone is packing and getting ready, not just physically, but spiritually and spending time in prayer!

I must say that the SC devotions have been wonderful over the past few days (thanks Liz!). Truly we are in a fight not physical.

Just to share a story: everytime I have done well for a major exam, it was often when i was physically sick! I still remember running out of the hall during A-level prelims cos of a super-tummy-ache!

Linking it back to today: as of now, I still can't go! i am have a slight dribble of a cold. i have loads of work to do in the office. but all this just reminds me to come in the right perspective - God is in CONTROL!

In a sense, part of me is quite excited, because when times get tough, i know to expect wonderful things from God.

A story from Daniel 3:

16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."

that's what i call "LEVEL 18" faith. it's easy to say we have faith and shout about it when times are good, but when the tide is against us and we are swimming without a float or paddle - that takes something more.

As i was preparing for my sharing in Cambodia, these verses puts it so nicely:-

1 Thess:16-18
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

God's will is not always about us doing something physically for HIM or accomplishing a great task. rather, its an overcoming over the circumstances. We are not chained to happenings or occurrences. Rather, no matter the situation, we must be JOYFUL, we must PRAY and we must GIVE THANKS!

And in this situation, I have all 3 =) And i wanna say thank you to the team & to matilda, for praying for me and keeping this before the Throne of Grace. Seeing the transformation in the spiritual lives of the SC Team, before we even go up - that's amazing & something to praise God for!

So please keep praying for the trip & the team & the targets! cos in my heart i really believe something amazing is going to unlock in all our lives, the moment we step into the warzone!

Agape =)
