It’s August 2020, and I realized I never shared what happened with our family trip to Cambodia. So many things happened that were unexpected and pretty heartbreaking to me. However, God had a plan that involved more than just what I wanted to do and what I was sure he was opening doors for. God instead showed me that He is in control of all things. He showed me MORE than what I expected AND showed us the heart of my husband for those who have much less than we do. This spoke to the deep desire in my heart that my family would see what I saw when I was there. One day I’ll spell it out completely, but for now I’ll just share here in one place the posts I made throughout that time on social media.
This was my first blog post about this trip to Cambodia. It was my third time going but my families’ very first time. The only reason why we went was because I kept talking about Cambodia so much – really it was the people there – that when it came time to think through final trips before our move back to the United States, because of our children being out of school, my husband suggested we go to Cambodia. I was beyond thrilled. But to set the scene for our trip, you can read (or listen) to this blog post where I received some surprising, heartbreaking news.

#tefl #englishteacher #firsts www.sejanashines.com Okay…. so my husband corrected me by reminding me about that very short stint of a time coding ads online for a work at home position. I didn’t work there long at all. Maybe 2 weeks? That was definately not for me. . And then there was our short time doing foster care but that is definitely NOT a job. Well it is but it’s more like a ministry. Is raising kids a job? Yes but no. …CORRECTED ANNOUNCEMENT
So today I applied for my first paid OUT OF THE HOUSE position! Yay!! We will see how it goes. I’d love to be able to help others get a leg up on having more options for their future. I believe knowing and understanding English can open more doors for those that I hope to serve in foreign lands- wherever that might be!
