Patience

I know I need to be more patient. Superstar and I have always lived together and made our 'big' decisions pretty quickly. Perhaps God is demonstrating how patience can lead you to better things. The star and I have had something before us.....conversation for as long as it takes, usually not more than an hour...then decide. So we didn't really follow that for NY, but it is challenging us to be patient. I have all my faith in Christ Jesus. That doesn't mean that my human tendency to question and doubt is gone for sure. I do know that God does not want to lead me astray. He toedmedat. And so, I am standing at the Red Sea-or is that the Hudson River?-waiting for it to part. I see others on the other side of the sea, and those standing around me on this side. I look forward to seeing the sea crash over the egyptians in my life as kkft begins in nyc.

don't you hate when you have to wait for God? let's see you've been waiting how long? lets compare that to Abraham getting his son, as my mom always says "sit down and shut up", it will come :)

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

10 years in a day

So my days are beginning to run together, and the timelines in my brain are blurry after being on the ground at CEM for three days or has it been four? Either way, let's just say that one day in India is like ten years. That is a pretty good description of what reality is like here. Pastor said that sandrews said that on a trip here many years ago, and I was shocked by just how accurate of a statement that was. A day here can bring life events that you might be exposed to once in ten years living the way we live in the US of A. Here, life is hard. No matter what. As we drove to a 'village church' yesterday, we were what one team member describes as 'in the boonies.' (What does that mean exactly?) We saw things that I don't even know if I would have seen in 10 years living in the US. Men harvesting sugar cane and loading it on trucks. That sounds like a very simple sentence, and a very simple thing to do. But when it is in the upper 90's, and ther
