Sometimes looking at the massive amounts of needs in India seems absolutely over whelming.  Seeing all the beggar children on the streets, working in the slum area and seeing how they live, driving by all the people with eyes void of hope, and all the garbage and filth everywhere you go, where do you even begin?  When I stand back and look at it all, it seems hopeless!  There’s no use even starting because there’s no way I can take care of it all. I can’t feed all the hungry children, I can’t build decent houses for everyone living in the slums, I...

This is the day in the life of delirium.  A typical conversation between Auds and Linds. p.s. I would reccomend listening to this with headphones. Lindsay likes to talk quiet 🙂

 First of all, I apologize for taking so long to update a blog! It was not intentional, promise! 🙂 We have been in India for almost 2 months, and it honestly feels like home now. It’s weird to think of all the things that scared us, made us laugh, or totally shocked us about the things we saw.

Hello family and friends! Hope this update finds you well! My team just got back from Bangalore which is where we did our debrief and visited/helped out with a school there for a few days. Those kids call us “auntie” instead of “teacher” like in the slum.

Seeing the little kids in it made me very happy that we get to go back to the slum that we missed being in so very much! This week...

A spiritual word. God has been showing me intimacy with Jesus Christ. I’ve always known God is real and that Jesus loves us all, but I got a better understanding of the depth of intimacy Jesus wants with me and others, last week. I’m blown away by how God has been showing me that He is a relentless God. He will go after every person’s heart that doesn’t know Him until they even get a glimpse of understanding of how much he wants them to live their lives with the joy, peace, and fulfillment that only Christ gives. I feel like I’ve heard too many generic things...
