Moved Out

Hello all you people.
Uh…by the time I time to sit down and settle my thoughts, I am too lazy to write here. :p It’s a fault I should work on. So much has been happening here this past month!
On Wednesday, the 3^rd of August I moved out of the girl’s house and in with Rachael. (Rachael is from England and became a Christian after she moved her e to Cambodia a few years back.) She was living by herself and had been praying that someone could move in with her. After church one Sunday afternoon as I was eating at the market as I usually do with her and our friend Ing (a Chinese girl that she brought to the Lord about 2 years ago) she told me that she would split the price of her 1 room and kitchen/bathroom apartment with me if I wanted to move in. The price was tempting to say the least…and it is no farther away from the boy’s house than the girl’s house is…just maybe 1 ½ blocks away. I figured that I wouldn’t move in, if that’s what God wanted, until after I come back from America. But, since I’m planning to stay an extra 2 months (it just doesn’t feel right AT ALL to go home the end of September) I did the math...and decided to move out of the girl’s house and in with Rachael. After getting Rachael’s landlord’s approval and talking with Holly (leader of the girl’s house) and Randy (leader of the boy’s house) I got their blessing, but didn’t feel a peace about it…. :p I wasn’t sure what to think…sometimes it felt like, “of course I should do it” but then other times I remembered what my pastor would say, that sometimes things don’t pencil out on paper but God’s economy is different. And also, my pastor’s Mom told me this last December that no matter if I feel doubt or something, there will be an underlining Peace of what God wants me to do. So, what was I to do?! :p I know God’s voice (though I try to reason with Him so often to justify my own wrong desires) and knew that I don’t want to make a mistake (I fear what trouble I would get into for disobeying God…and besides, I did NOT want there to be a wall up between me and my GOD!) so I was almost to call Rachael and just tell her that it won’t work out because I simple don’t have a peace about it. Then…I got a peace, and knew that that was exactly what I was supposed to do…I can’t really explain it more than that…it was GOD’s peace!! (I love it…Christ is the Prince of Peace, and we are to know His voice and follow it by His grace and strength.)
So, all that to say, is that I moved in with Rachael last Wednesday and have been loving it so much! I am saving a lot of money (to maybe get a plane ticket back…or money for a motor when I come back so that I can go out to Takeo!...maybe.;)
I really am living my dream right now…I am living in an apartment with a roomie, I can buy my own food, etc! I’ve always wanted to do this…I just never expected it to be in a foreign, 3^rd world country! Lol) God is sooooooooo GOOD!!

God bless all of you so much!!
