Knowing God in an intimate way. A personal way. A way that has never been treaded through. A way that has never been explored. Cherishing moments with Him. Yearning to be with Him. To hold me close. Hearing Him call out my name. Call out for something more. Hungering for His presence. Hungering for more of Him. Longing for His power. His voice. His love… This weekend is debrief weekend, which has been filled with a lot of relaxation, fun, laughter, reflection, and prayer. We have been blessed with two wonderful AIM women that have come to our little slice of heaven in India to ask...

  Falling…Well jumping? I jumped. Off a super high cliff in Rio de Janeiro…Brazil that it is. I didn’t have a hang glider, but I still jumped, because I knew it would be ok. I could see the Jesus statue. I had jumped way above it. On my descent down to earth I was trying to figure out how I could survive, what I could grab onto. I knew I would though, because when there is a will there is a way…Then outside of this dream I heard a baby cry, and I didn’t know where I was. Then I woke up, and found myself napping on the floor of a pre-school in India. Sometimes in life we do...

Can these weeks fly by any faster?… This week has been such an encouragement as we’ve seen prayer after prayer being answered. When God calls us to something – a project, a task, a ministry, a job – He’ll never leave us hanging. That wouldn’t make any sense, would it? Earlier this week the ministry here had to move out of our building due to some conflicts. So we started praying. In the mean time we got a glimpse of just how much of an impact we’re making here. The women that we help everyday were so worried that it meant that they wouldn’t be...

Weary. Thats absolutely how I’ve felt this week. It’s been an extremely busy, chaotic week. And to some degree, every week is like that here. But factor in moving out of a ministry site and a medical clinic on top of our everyday ministry, this week was a lot. But God is good. And he’s been using this time to force me to rely on him fully. Because he is the only constant of this life. Whether it’s in India or America. Or anywhere and everywhere in between. I’m learning to rely on him for everything. Which I promise is not nearly as easy as it sounds. He is my...

 So many times in this life I feel as though God is not there, He’s not listening, He’s taken a vacation. He hase’nt….He never does.      As I was spending a lot of time with our stitching teacher here this week God reminded  me over and over of His love and protection through her. That He never leaves me, that He’s always there. She had no idea that her actions towards me spoke so much to my soul…   As this women and I were walking around in the slum community everyday she would hold my hand. Since this was a little...
