I wish that I could explain in more than just words how beautiful she is. I wish that I could scream to her just how much she is loved. She is worthy, she is WORTH it. That all her troubles, all of her hardships, all of the issues and problems that never seem to go away are only shaping her to who she is meant to be, and that her life has VALUE.I wish that I could tell her that even though her dad abandoned her, and her mom died, that she is worthy of a family, of a people, that love her. I pray that she knows just how wide, how deep and how GOOD His love really is. That she can pray all...

So today as we unpacked from Mumbai and discussed how we planned to fill the remaining 17 days it hit…   There are only 17 days left.  The past few months have gonna by in the blink of an eye, from the day i walked into the airport not knowing how i felt about these people who I was sure would judge everything about me, but knowing I just wanted to travel. To not wanting to close my eyes at night because it meant yet another day with these 5 amazing girls had slipped through my fingers.  We have become closer than I had ever imaged was possible.  Each one...

 On October 31st, my team plus a couple other friends hopped on a train to Mumbai. Our instructions were to ditch the US politeness and get on the train even before other people are done getting off, because the train stops for a good minute then on its way it goes, and we can’t miss it. I instantly put my game face on, ready to check any Indians standing in my way… We got there, and it was less stressful than what I thought it would be. The view during the train ride was absolutely beautiful. The first day we got there we got to check out a red light district. The next day...

Something I have always struggled with is being disciplined; whether or not that meant in school, with my relationship with God, or anything else. I get distracted easily and other things become more important. I admire people that are extremely disciplined in everything they do and I have been striving for that recently. Last week we rented a car, drove a little ways and then hopped on a boat and went into the town of Old Goa. Our mission was simply this: to pray. We visited a few (gorgeous!) temples and did what we call prayer walks. Just walking and having a conversation with God and...

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 🙂
