Surfing Bangladesh?

At the moment, I am not on my way to Bangladesh. A couple of things had not panned out as planned and as a result the Surfing Bangladesh team is leaving on the 18th without me. For good or for bad. It may not seem fair, how things turn out. I pictured everything turning out much differently. As I sit here, while the team prepares to go to Bangladesh, I'm only feeling like I am being left behind. There should have been something that I could have done more so that I could go. Why am I not going?

I took a look back at Ezekiel, "the Lord will judge you according to your own deeds." The people of Israel felt as if God had deserted and forsaken them. Every one of them felt like they were being judged unfairly. Yet God is always just. I need to trust that everything happens for a reason. That there is always a reason. I need to be thankful for everything that is in my life now.

Plan A: International visas go through as planned, and all of my flights are paid in full by the 18th. I set foot on a flight to Bangladesh. Return to Hawaii on October 22nd.

Plan B: International visas do not get approved. I remain in Hawaii working with Surfing the Nations. Fly to Maui on the inter-island outreach trip. Help to rebuild a church

Either way check out the video gum for my boat. It is a great documentary on the video circuit about the work that Surfing the Nations is doing in Bangladesh. This movie will be premiering in a number of film festivals and should be available to the public next year.
