I realized what a privilege it was that I could talk to my parents about anything, my faith, my life and they would listen and help me in any way they could.

I hope that one day perhaps, God willing, I will be able to talk to these girls again but until that time I will pray for them and I ask you to do the same. Pray for all the young Christians in India and ask God to give them strength through everything and in every situation to stand strong.

After Delhi
Now that I have had time to think on it I thought I would tell you more of my trip to India. there is so much that I wish I could say but so much that is in hy heart that words would not be able to describe. Anyway after Delhi we boarded a train and traveled to a bible collage. the things that I heard there were so encouraging and they put my faith to shame. I heard the testimonies of some of the young girls that were studying there some not any older than me and yet they had been threatened with death for their faith in Christ. they had been driven out of their unbelieving homes and were shunned by t

Entering India
As I said in my last update I had just returned from India and so I will begin today with a series of recollections, memories, different things that God thought me through my time there. There was so much I really don’t know exactly where to begin. So many people, so little hope in their eyes. One of the things that struck me first was as we drove through Delhi I saw two men sitting on a fence just staring off into the distance. 
I wondered what they might be thinking of. Did they care what happened to them tomorrow? Did they believe that their gods would listen to them, answer them? It made me so sad knowing that these two men were lost crying out to their own gods deaf and dead as they are carved out of stone and wood. I wanted to jump out of the car and tell them about Christ but what would I have said? I couldn’t speak their language even if I could where would I have started? No, my place was to pray, to cry out to the one God who would listen and answer on behalf of these men and so many others that I saw daily.Before the Memoirs
Ok so I never informed all of you that I was headed off to India about three weeks ago but I am here now telling you that I am back J I am still trying to get readjusted to the time change and food and all but for the most part it is going well. I am back at work and trying to get back into the swing of things but my mind still cant quite get the fact that we are in AMERICA now and not in India. The weird thing is just a few days ago I was in a tropical rain forest and now I am in a windy cold icy Texas. Very strange. Any way I really should get going, I just wanted to give you all the heads up and in a few days I will start posting stories with pictures and all.
God Bless.
God Bless.
