First I would like to say I am anti-blog.
I thoroughly enjoy reading other people’s blogs, but I however do not see the point in writing them. I would much rather have a conversation.  Where I can cater my thoughts and experiences specifically for the person I am talking to…. I don’t like the idea of blogs. They are to general. “Just say what’s on your mind, or an experience, or something.”  BUT there are so many experiences, there are so many experiences and thoughts that I am undergoing right now, there is NO WHERE to begin. 

I wrote a blog about the demon possession.
Then because technology hates me, it got deleted.
Then I wrote it again. 
The power went out and no more blog.
So third times a charm right? 
But because I hate the way I write and the mere fact it wasn’t ‘me’.
I deleted it.

There is spiritual warfare going on here in India, which I am sure you have heard about already. I don’t know what to do with it. I don’t know how to react. I don’t know if I should believe it or not. I don’t understand it.  I don’t like it.

BUT.. God is so evident and present here. It is incredible how much He has taught me through His word. It is wonderful to receive God’s love and grace. It is amazing for me to experience the love of 70 little sisters that will forever remain dear to my heart. Words simply can not describe how God is changing my soul and healing my heart through these girls. Although we can’t communicate perfectly. I understand them, and they understand me. We connect on more levels I think then most of my friends in Newberg. It is so great to show them pictures of friends from home. Followed by question after question, then sometimes, the girls will say “this is ______, my new sister/brother. I will pray for them everyday and they will have a new tenghi (little sister) all the way in India.” To see these girls I have fallen in love with, fall in love with my friends at home through a simple picture and story makes me so happy.

I have never prayed this hard or this much in my entire life. I have never drawn this close to God in the midst of all of this suffering. I have never seen so much crap and yet still have so much hope, love, peace, and joy. Thank you Jesus! 

That is it for now, and maybe until I get back. We will see.
