A new journey

I'm lying on my bed in my hotel room in Manila and I can't believe it's all over already. In only a few hours I fly out (thankfully this is a much more reasonable trip than the one on the way here!) and I'll be home before lunch on Friday, if all goes according to schedule.

I am so amazed at how God's plan for my year has been revealed. There is no way I could have planned or expected such an incredibly wonderful experience. I am so thankful for the opportunity I've had these past 8 weeks, for what I've learned and for being able to take a road trip on Monday to say one last goodbye to the CCA guys (is 4 times too many... Nah!! ) as well as say a quick hello to the team from Covenant College!!

I also want to take the time to thank Rehoboth for having me visit for the past three weeks. It has been such a blessing and it was great to be part of this incredible ministry they have. If you haven't already, please go to the Rehoboth website and find out a little more about what they do. http://rehobothsampalocministries.com If you ever feel like a little adventure, Rehoboth is always happy to have volunteers!!

Please keep Rehoboth and Covenant Christian Academy in your prayers.

Thank you for all your prayer and support over the last couple of months. To friends and family who have encouraged me and to the new friends I've made here, you have all been a wonderful blessing! As I start a new (and still somewhat unknown) journey, I will treasure the memories and, even more, the friends I've made here!

As a final note from the Philippines, I want to share a verse that I read during devotions a couple of weeks ago:

Psalm 96:2-3
Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvellous works among all the peoples!
