Josh backpacking
May 14th, 2008
My eldest son Joshua has completed his history degree and is now merrily backpacking with a Campus Crusade friend, Peichong. He is now in Hanoi and will travel down to Hoi An, Kotum, Ho Chih Minh city, Phnom Penh and Angkor Wat. That’s a month of travel by bus, train and boat and lots of walking. Anxious me told him to pray at the beginning of every day and give thanks at the end of every night. Actually we just need to trust in God’s love and favor surrounding him. I believe young people grow up by experiencing more independence. Its a calculated risk but we parents can learn to entrust them to God and let them take wing.
If you want to follow his travelogue, just go HERE.

Welcome to the emptying nest syndrome, some understandable anxiety of not being completely in control - only answer is Prayer for covering and claiming the Grace promised.
Enjoy the first “fly from the nest” by remote presence - it will be throughly enlighthening when a man returns from the kid going on out - what an adventure and a transformation awaits all of Chees at home!
