Havent posted for quite a while but things have been CrAZY!!!!! Since my last post I've taught at a bible school, and been really blessed by the response to the call for prayer at the end. Painted a church, and attended a service in the "new" church. Lived in a village, enjoyed the hard floor, the hole for a toilet and best of all pumping my own water to take a bath out a bucket pouring water over myself with a cup...good times!! I had a lot of fun, living with the people in the village and learning about them and their culture.
All in all India has been amazing and its been a true blessing, these people don't have a lot but still they want to give me the best they have, I really am blessed to be here.
One thing I have really come to realise is how blessed I am, and how I take things for granted. The fact that I can lay on a bed every night, watch TV when ever I want, turn on lights when its dark, turn on a tap when I want water.....those LITTLE things that so many people take for granted are LUXURY here!!
It's not easy in India! It's not nice having NO religious freedom, It's not nice riding down the road and seeing people give sacrifices and worship other gods because they are just so lost and brainwashed, kids programmes on cartoon network and disney channel that have gods as their main characters.
It's not nice seeing baby after baby being born because a woman needs to have a boy, and all those girls have no future but to be married off as a young teen if they lucky enough, it's too expensive to let your daughter get married because the woman pays. In the village we went to I had a woman ask me to keep her child! I guess she just didn't want the child.
My heart is broken for India, and I hope to come back one day when I can just serve these people. They need it, but the crazy thing is...so do so many other places in the world. We are More than Conquerors!
Be Blessed!
