Finishing the race

As I write this there are 22 days left before we start our journey to Cambodia. I can't wait for that day! Nevertheless a couple of days ago I realized that looking forward to Cambodia sometimes makes me miss the enjoyment it is to be here.

This is the week of our final concert. As our lecture time is coming to an end I look back and see how much I learned throughout these months here. I went from someone who can move to music to a well rounded dancer. That is a huge accomplishment. The greatest thing about it is that you have a part in it as well. All the encouraging words, prayers, financial support and gifts I received has made it possible for me to stay here.

So for the next 22 days I will follow the advice of my school leader to "finish strong" and make 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 my theme verse:

"Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."

At the moment I still need $770 before June 25th to be able to go to Cambodia. It would be great if you could continue to help me pray and pay for this.
