a case of wanderlust & restlessness
Job hunting round 4?
I'm so tired of this and while I'm trying to figure out what I want and what makes sense to me, this is the week of fervently praying because I want to be obedient.

Did you read
This skit is too true and sometimes it takes away the joy of reading. Freaking rat race.

Happy Easter
Christ is risen from the dead
Come awake, come awake, come and rise up from the grave
Oh death, where is your sting
Oh hell, where is your victory
Oh church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night
God is not dead, he's alive he's alive

India
I don't know how to start.
I could talk about the children, Teena and Munni, the aunties in the kitchen, and Brenda and Lawrence. But while I'm writing everything down about all the people I've met, I'd have to include the neighborhood children at the carnival, the single mothers, the women and children at the church, and the women and families we met at the home visits. Let's not forget the mustached men and the beautiful big bellied women.
Then there's India, the country. My preconceived expectations of what it would be like and what it was really like - of the slums, poverty, weather, undrinkable water, the food, THE TEA.
And what about missions - what it means to serve, what I learned through the nine others I traveled with, what I see God doing through people in India, my personal prepardness, and most importantly, trying to understand my faith and relationship with Jesus while processing known feelings of how missions is viewed from a non-Christian point of view.
Working it out but the list goes on.
This post will never really come to fruition; my hand needs to put pen to paper but there are two things that I'm fairly certain of:
1. Jesus loves the little children
2. Those who have the least, give the most.

last minute packing
I beg to differ.
A clean house is a sign of an OCD neat freak who doesn't want to return to a room covered in mold after a week away.
After checking off items on my packing list, I refolded all of my clothes with hopes of minimizing the need to burn everything I own. I'm going to bomb my room with disposable dehumidifers right before I walk out the door tomorrow.
