Really Learning Gods Heart.

I don't have much time, but I wanted to update for all of you out there.

India is absolutely BEAUTIFUL in every way!!
The people here are so amazing! I have really been asking God to allow me to see them through His eyes. Especially the women and children.
The poverty is immense, and there's so much hopelessness in their eyes. From the smallest child begging on the street to the Sadhu's- Hindu's "Holy" men. Their all desperate for love, joy, peace.. anything to fill the void in their hearts.

Being a female here is difficult too. In America were treated as equals. The women here, however are treated as lower then dogs. According to Hindu tradition, they don't even have a hope for salvation. Could you imagine living like that??

My heart has been so broken, seeing these beautiful people worship the over 300 million Gods they have here, when all along the one true God is just wanting to take them in His arms and love on them!

I'm learning so much about denying my own flesh and just being Jesus to people.. even if it only means a big smile as I pass them on the street while riding in a Rickshaw. (Which is a whole adventure in itself.) :)

Pray with me for the people of India, and all the unreached peoples of the world!
It's time to learn Gods heart and find HIS bride!!

And so the adventure begins...

My heart beats with anticipation...

The time has finally come. Adventure is on the horizon!

Tomorrow morning I will grab my back pack and carry on bag, (the smallest I have ever packed in my life!) put on my lovely Converse shoes (Thank you Lauren!) and join the most amazing team on a trip to Northern India for the next 2 weeks!

My Besties- Lauren who I'll miss LOTS, and Gabby who I'm going to see!

From there I will fly on by myself to Harar, Ethiopia to live and work with Gabby and Samuel Strandberg and the team of Mission SOS Ethiopia/Harar Church of Joy for 1 month!! (I'm coming Gabby, and I cannot wait!!) :)

I am so excited!!

I feel like Queen Esther.

I can imagine the excitement and anticipation she must have felt as she waited for her turn to go before the King. All those months soaking in oils, learning how to become a Queen. How to sit right, talk right and lead. I'm sure there was a lot of nights where she was frustrated, wondering why she was, where she was. (I understand that.)

I'm sure she watched nervously as other girls went for their night with the King. Wondering when her turn would finally come.

But it did come! And because she learned to enjoy the journey, trust God, be faithful, learn the Kings heart and what He loved- she became Queen and saved a people! Wow!!

Now I'm ready to have my own Esther experience.

I am longing to love on the unreached peoples of the world! The poor, and the unwanted.. to pour out love on little street kids, to baptize new disciples and see people saved!

That is the BEST life a girl could ask for!

I love you all SO very much! Thank you especially to those who gave sacrificially to help make this trip possible. God has provided above and beyond for this trip, and its even more proof to me that it is ordained by Him.

I love you and will miss you all so much. But it's time- Spring has come. I'm ready to step out!

My amazing Fam who I'll miss lots!!

I feel like a sponge- I just want to soak up every minute of this adventure with the Holy Spirit.

Will you join me? :)

Matthew 25:35-40 "For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’
40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!"

The Harvest is calling....
