Fact! I really need to write down my passwords for my accounts I seriously forget them all the time!!!
So I am so sad that my last blog was done right before I left on the trip that seriously changed my entire life. I am contemplating on whether or not to talk about my trip or just go into what I am doing now... Things to consider... It was a while ago... It is a long story.... but It does go into directly what I am doing now...
I just give you a snip it... This is what I wrote on my last day in India. We were in a coffee house discussing and summarizing as a team what we did and what we thought. They told us to write it down. I haven't looked at it since that day!!!
"Well I can say quickly that it wasn't what I was expecting the culture was far beyond anything I can verbalize but what I can say is that God was a work with the people of India and we were his tool to spread the name of Jesus. From house visits to the in class setting the people here are yearning for relationships so to be able to build those relationships made my trip. It made the environment and the smells bearable made the dirt seem clean and made my broken heart full again when the name of Jesus or Yeshu was proclaimed. So how was my trip from the dirt and dust the smells... the children were the experience that made my trip."
Wow! Still breaks my heart and brings tears to my eyes... That time was one of the hardest things I had to go through, relatively speaking. But God knew what he was doing for sure. And because of my faith in Him I knew that whatever he was throwing my way was so that I could live my purpose.
Which brings us to what am I doing POST GRAD!!! I still work at the winery and at the city. But I have added school AGAIN!!!! I am now a Graduate student getting my MS in International Education at CBU. The experience of India made me realize that I was called for something bigger than I even gave myself credit for. Teaching abroad. It was never a passion of mine but every lesson I am learning about different world views makes me go back to Matthew 9:37 and how we are called to Go!
Praying and devotion have been my stronghold and as God as my cornerstone I know I can do it all. Even if I feel like I cant go on all I need is to seek refuge in Him. Because his love is unfailing. Good words to live by!!!!
