Verse of the Day: “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” – 2 Timothy 1:7
“We found love in a hopeless place” – Rihanna
Fact of the Day: The third day of VBS is complete.
Thoughts that make me laugh: Mistaking Anthony’s laugh for barking dogs. Zach in general, especially when he dances.
Simple joys of the day: Listening to the girls sing and shout on the “Then what could stand against!” part of Our God or the beginning of the You Shine chorus. Dancing like a crazy woman with the girls after VBS. Observing the work ethic and magnitude of possibility of ants (I saw the largest anthill of my life today). Establishing friendships with the girls—in word and in seeing them smile when I put my arm around them or when they reach for my hands. My new friends from the team. Racing rickshaws (that is, the drivers were racing) and winning by cutting off the other rickshaw.
I really do love this place. I think India will always have a special place in my heart—especially the precious girls God has blessed me with at Home of Love. I hope to come back here sometime. Maybe I can help organize trips, even after college, to continue revisiting Home of Love to create a lasting relationship with the mission and the girls there.
The anthill I saw today reminds me of how God uses little creatures to accomplish so much. In the same way, there are great things He has for me to accomplish too.
Please pray for the existing mission of Home of Love. Please also pray that God would continue to send many groups of people there to love on the girls and help those at the orphanage.
