Brittany definitely brings out the crazies in my girls. They love to dance, perform and since gymnastics, Addi can't do the splits enough!! So, as much as my kids love the camera, being in front of the mirror, it reminds me to be in God's presence. It is there that I need to look intently, to gaze long and hard, to listen to His still small voice.
So, what has my trip to India/ Nepal done in me you may ask? Well, it was there that I learned that God uses the weak things in the world's eyes to display His strength. It was there that I will never forget the resilience and joy of evangelist Pratul Das, a man who lost his arm in a bus accident and Biswanath Mondal, who has polio and hobbles on one foot. They take God's persence to the most remote places and do it well! It was there that God was faithful as I completely relied on him for a fresh Word. I learned the special place that God has in His heart for widows and orphans. I learned to never underestimate the power of God to display manifestations in the most remote, forgotten places. I also discovered that if the gospel was coca cola, the job would be done! Finally, after my luggage didn't show up in Toronto, I realized that we need to be prepared to leave all our possessions behind and the only things that really last are the ones that we pay forward to heaven!
side note - thankfully my luggage was finally found two days later, but needless to say, lesson learned.
