These photos are gorgeous. I'm currently planing a trip to Thailand and Cambodia and I'm so excited to go. Those are my two top destinations to visit, so I can't wait. It looks like you had an amazing trip and I'll definitely be reading about the rest of your SE Asia trip.

You are right- it's a place where we must confront the reality of our broken world and grapple with evil... and it's a place where we must find hope to cling to amidst that reality. i really appreciate your photos, how you describe cambodia (here and your previous posts), and how it inspires others. i also love how you highlighted various organizations that do great work in rehabilitation for sex trafficked victims. i'm familiar with DOC because i've contacted one of the nurses who has worked for them in the past, to inquire from her about her experiences. i had no idea they had their own hotel though! the next time i visit phnom penh, i'll have to look for it. again thanks for recapping your trip... your posts continue to inspire and raise awareness about the plight of the khmer people.

I sat in tears on a bench on the grounds, unable to wrap my mind around the horrors that took place there. Hope, though, came in our encounters with so many resilient, often even joy-filled, people during our visit to the city. Thank you so much for sharing about your experience there, and your beautiful photography.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-39278619308934244592014-01-07T09:04:48.323-08:002014-01-07T09:04:48.323-08:00Such lovely colors!

When we get together next month, can we spend a few minutes with you imparting some of your secrets to the most PERFECT PHOTOS EVER? Seriously, you are SO good.<br />#2. What a heartbreaking history in the village. I had no idea that massacre occurred.<br />#3. I had tears in my eyes when I read about the Daughters of Combodia, AIM, and the White Linin Hotel (which is gorgeous, btw!! wowza!) What amazing ministries seeking to serve the forgotten and giving worth to those the world and the enemy deemed as worthless. Instead, they are showered with the Truth that they are LOVED and PRECIOUS in the eyes of God. What a life-changing Truth!!!
