Your mention of that gentle nudge reminded me of the story in 1Kings 19:1-13. God is such a gentle God. I love His ways and His nudging just when we need it most. I don't get time to follow you consistently, but I do enjoy reading your blog every now and again. Traveling is so much fun and something of my youth I miss. Especially opportunities like the one you just had. You are blessed my friend, truly blessed! MeRa,

I am overcome. Anne forwarded me your wedding photos (which are stunning, by the way), and I somehow found my way to your blog. You are incredible. God must've been smiling on me when we met. Me Ra,

I just wanted to share that I have had the opportunity to experience the love and joy of the people in Phnom Pehn last October. You were so right when you said that they have nothing, yet live as if they have everything. I went there to Reach People and Build Lives but in return I left there with such an appreciation and a grateful heart for where God has taken me, for what He has given me, and for what He is doing through me.I know that my life has been forever changed by that trip. Because I owned a Nikon, I was in charge of capturing images of our mission trip in order that I would share these with the whole team. I came home with over 2000 pictures over a 6 day period. That is where my interest in photography really went from recreational to this is what I want to do as a career.I look forward to purchasing some of your instructional DVDs, and I hope to attend one of your conferences in the near future.

Last night the kids attended the wedding of one of the Orphanages directors and it was so great to see them fiddling with the camera and changing settings. They could hardly wait to get home and get on facebook to post share their "new talent" Lyheng, the one very skinny boy , now calls him self "photographer" in English. He is looking at pics on the computer and seeing different ways to see them. The little girl in the pics, is at the orphanage, we have her uncles (Thean 17 and Theara 15) at our center, but the little niece is at the orphanage. Her family simply didn't want her. For us , she is way to cute and we knew, funds or no funds, we would take this little child and love her in a good home.. She is in first grade. Thank God for You guys for coming and reaching out side your comfort zone and blessing us and the kids here in Cambodia. Brian, the kids look at the pics on the disk for hours you left.. Brighter futures because of a little love.. (and cleaner teeth to boot.)

The first picture of the suitcase of all the goodies totally made me cry...the manifestation of potential. That concept what I am fascinated and drawn to. It's why watching American Idol makes me cry too, I bet. I have known those little nudges are the miraculous secret opportunities (MSO for short)...but I always thought of them in the context of working on my self and my own photography business. Privately, individually, one-on-one with my clients and closest friends. I am very intimately aware of MSO, but to read you speak of it in such a vast, wide, social, way...it's the other side of MSO I hadn't really walked around the corner to see as completely as I do after reading your post. In the 3 years I've known you, you never cease to effortlessly BLOW MY MIND!! lol! xoxo Me Ra! The first picture of the suitcase of all the goodies totally made me cry…the manifestation of potential.
