Well, friends, family, and stalkers, these are my last few
days in Phoenix. Monday I leave for the great state of California to spend
about 4 days with my family. This will definitely be my last blog before taking
off. Next you’ll hear from me will be when I am on Cambodian soil!
Other than being completely annoyed at the government
shutdown for not letting me see the Grand Canyon before I left (yes, I have
lived in AZ for a decade and still have never been there), I have come to grips
with leaving. Mostly. I am also still grieving the reality that I will probably
never summit Camelback Mountain (2 for 2 in not making it to the top!). It
isn’t even a real mountain. It’s like a large hill, and I still can’t finish.
The part of my soul that died a little with the loss of the
above goals was resurrected by my sweet friends and how they love. I thought about writing all about everything
that has transpired in the 2.5 months since realizing I was actually, for real,
without a doubt, moving to Cambodia (because some stories are incredible), but
I decided against it.
I will leave you with some words of wisdom (obviously not
mine) that have been echoing in my head since the pastor at church spoke them
last week.
We belong to each other.
Galatians 6:2
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the
law of Christ.
