How does one begin to describe the last three days of my life? My world has been turned upside down. I have gone from being a self-sustaining adult, to an infant.
I cannot speak the language, I cannot navigate the town. I must rely on the help of others.
I am being changed once again. I can feel it deep within my core. C.S. Lewis once wrote, ”Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before.”
2 Corinthians 4:16
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we waste away inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
Yes, I am responsible for making choices that influence who I become. I chose to come to India. I chose to finish school. I chose to step out in faith. I chose to accept God’s call to follow Him daily. But ultimately it is God who changes us. It is He who molds us into something new.
John 15:16
You did not chose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go bear fruit- fruit that will last.
Worst moment.
Feeling overwhelmed with everything. Being a complete stranger in to this new place, fighting feelings of being alone. I felt like I didn’t belong, felt tired.
Best moment.
This moment I had on the roof; looking at the sunset, the fields, the mountains, but most importantly Naomi, my new friend. She is a shy little girl, maybe that is why I can relate. At my very core I am a quiet reserved person, as a child I was also very shy. It is who God created me to be. I have times of speaking out but at my core I love nothing more than to be quiet, and just take everything in. Back to Naomi, she has a disorder, well I’m not really sure what she has, and I do not believe it matters. All the children I have meat so far are Children of God, they all have names, and are all beautiful.
It was in this moment I thought, “there is nowhere else on earth I would rather be than right here and right now. Time seemed to stand still.
