Hello Friends and Family,
It has been a while since my last update, and I am sure you have many questions. First off, I am no longer with YWAM as of one week ago. Over the past nine months there have been several things happening under the surface that I have been keeping to myself and seriously hoping that the issues that were happening would work themselves out over time. Sadly, things were getting pretty out of hand and I needed to get out for there for the benefit of the organization and myself. So after much counsel from my parents and mass amounts of prayer, I gave my resignation and got out. I've been renting an apartment and have been trying to recover and regroup, but it's been rough. I really miss my students. It was very hard and very unfortunate to say goodbye. However, I am confident that God paved the way for me to get out.
On a lighter note, Caleb Moseley popped the question. He asked me to make him the happiest man in the world and become his wife. I said yes, knowing before we started dating that when he asked I would without hesitation say yes. He has been a beautiful answer from God to prayer.
We both have the tug to continue on in missions here in Cambodia, but believe that for cultural reasons we should get married and return as a team. We have prayed a lot about what we will be doing when we return. We believe God has called us to carry on his dad’s NGO organization called Greater Love, pioneering it here in Cambodia. Our focus will be artistic restoration, giving Khmer people the opportunity to study music, web designing, and film making. While doing this, we can hold Bible studies for the students who are interested in knowing more about Christianity in our home, and we will also be available to help with some community development projects with a super awesome church here. We are quite excited to be married and return to the kingdom of Cambodia as a team, anointed by Abba, loving the Khmer people.
We are also excited to return with a fresh start, after the rough seas we have experienced during our recent time here.
I said goodbye to Reachany today. Wow.... that was very hard. She has been my constant friend here and I am REALLY going to miss her. I can't wait to be with her again upon our return.
I am sure some of you are wondering/thinking that Caleb's and my engagement seems fast. We do believe that our relationship is anointed by God 120% . We both realize this was fast, but when you know, you know. You know? Both of our families are overjoyed for us and very supportive.
SO!! With all of that being said, we are traveling back to the states in a couple days. My heart hurts to be away from Cambodia, even if it’s just for a few months, but at the same time I am relieved to be coming home to a loving environment where I can get some healing, and marry my best friend.
I honestly cannot thank you enough for ALL of your prayers!! I hope you know that your prayers are what have been keeping me going so long and kept me from experiencing burning out. Know that I am ecstatic to see all of you and hug you and hear your voices. I will probably just be a mess of tears for a while when I see you.
May Abba continue to make you more aware of His Holy Spirit, and may you be blessed this day!
With Heart,
Beth Dittman (soon to be Moseley ;))
