I can’t believe it’s finally here! I’m sitting at Melbourne International airport waiting for reality to kick in. Today is the day I move to Cambodia!
Soon I’ll be on a plane, halfway between the box I’ve lived in for the past 5 years and the unescapable adventure that reality is. I don’t know how or why this is happening to me. Why have I been chosen to work and live in an orphanage on the other side of the world? What’s so special about me?
As I ponder these thoughts it dawns on me that I’m asking the wrong questions. Instead of focussing on me, myself and I, I need to be asking questions like, “What do you want me to do God?”, “How can You use me?”, “How can I show these people the depth of Your love?”.
So, as the boarding announcements are made and I pick up my bag, passport and assorted other hand luggage, I make a promise...
“God, You have been so good to me. I have had a wonderful life, despite the ups and downs. I know that You are always with me and that I can rely on You. I give my life once more to You. Use me Father and help me to show the world Your very real and unfailing love. Amen.”
