Hey friends! We got to India about a week ago. We took a bus to the place we were going to stay. That bus ride was peaceful and good, knowing what was coming would be good.
I’ve been on this crazy adventure for 3 months. It’s weird actually. In some ways it’s felt like a year but then also 2 weeks. The other day someone asked me how I was feeling about being 3 months in. I sat there not knowing at all of what to say, not even knowing how to feel. Because in some weird way it hasn’t felt like I’ve started yet. The past 3 months I’ve been walking through a season of what’s felt like preparation. Like I’m being prepared for something, something big. Which is the weirdest thing ever because for the past year of my life (literally the last year since being accepted into this program), I’ve been in a season of preparing. Preparing for this trip, preparing to graduate high school, preparing for what’s next in my life. And yet now I’m here, 3 months in actually, and still feeling like I’m being prepared for it.
I always had a weird draw to India. It’s one of the reasons I chose this route. This was the only one that went to India. I thought of it being a place something was going to be different. I had a feeling we’d get here and something would change. Almost as if something would click. India was going to be a place that something big was going to happen and I felt like was being prepared for it.
Since landing here, it has felt different. The atmosphere has felt different. In every good way. I was on that bus, feeling good about what was coming.
I wouldn’t say that the first 3 months was completely easy. I knew we were helping in some way, i knew we were doing “good” things, whatever that means. I knew that the Lord put us specifically in every place that we’ve been. Knowing all of that, it even still felt like I’ve done close to nothing for the Kingdom. I know that we may never see the fruit of what we did, I know it doesn’t just stop there. And wow I know there’s more. I believe the more is soon.
And when we got here it was like the Lord was whispering clearly in my ear saying “are you ready now?”
Are you ready now?
Because just wait, you don’t even know what’s coming.
I have an open heart and open mind about India. I’m craving HIS plan for me. Knowing it’s way better than mine. So excited for what it’s going to look like. So excited to share it with y’all too.
