We've moved...
1 year ago I said I would be happy to NEVER move again. After all the packing and moving and traveling we did before arriving in Cambodia was enough for a life time for me!
But... God had other plans. Back in June we felt that we should start looking for a house and just see where God leads. Our contract for the house we lived in was up in July. So we looked at a few houses and never felt that any of them were something that God was leading us to. We did feel a pull to a certain area of the city. But we never felt peace about any house. After a month of off and on searching. We thought that possibly God wanted us to stay put. Even though our little house was getting a bit cramped, There is always ways to make things work. May not always be ideal, but it was working. The Middle of August we read a advertisement for a house for rent. It was in the area we felt pulled to. But I had felt that moving was just not something God had for the time and I was happy with that. Well we went to look at this house, Praying again that God will give clear direction if this was his will. Well we had not even finished looking at this house and we both felt good about it. Good as in a peaceful feeling of following Gods direction. We took the next day to pray and talk about it and we felt that this was God's will.
So with in 2 weeks we have moved from a small apartment/ flat 2 bedroom home, to a 3 story P'reah la'veang. 4 bedroom 5 bathroom home. It's taking some time to get use to living in such a huge house. We've lived her for just over 1 week now and we have not even sat in the living room yet. Getting settled in and still trying to do our language studies, and making new friends in our neighbor hood. Has us falling into bed exhausted at night. But happy and excited to see how God will use us in this neighborhood. The kids are in abundance here on our street. Yesterday I was making dinner and a sweet little girl, was standing beside me talking as fast as her little mouth would go, All I had to do was reply a time or 2 and she was happy. I could not understand all the stuff she was talking about, But asking questions back is my go-to line when I can't understand everything. ;) So pray for us as we interact with these precious little ones. And that God will continue to direct us.

This space is by far the most favorite space in the whole house.
The kids have room to play! |
