I am not sure how to best write this. I have tried and everything has sounded wrong..... the backspace button had suddenly become my best friend. I cant keep doing this, so here goes nothing.....
Over the last couple weeks, the Lord has made it very obvious to everyone in the team and Mamma and Daddy as well, that it is not the Lord's will for us to be in India at this time. Through much prayer and conversation we decided that it would be best for D_ and I to go home as soon as possible.
We flew out of Guwahati late last Monday, and got home to San Antonio late on Tuesday. I am really not sure what to write...I think that I still have some jet lag. I am so thankful for the time that the Lord gave me in India, it is something that I will never forget. I am excited to see what is going to happen next in my life.
Thank you all so much, for your prayers while D and I were over there!

Jet Lag - re-entry into your other culture - and sorting out your pathway... Sometimes it is difficult to understand the Lord's leadings in our lives until much later, but your small cousin reminds us: "God sees the whole big picture, but we only see a little part of it." You know this.
ReplyDeleteAt the least, your duration of stay was not what you had planned, but this experience will not be wasted in your lives nor in the lives of those you touched. The important thing is that you have been and still are obedient to the will of the Lord. You are still filled with the Love of Christ and a bright burning desire to share the gospel and to serve Him.
Yes! It will be wonderful to see why the Father has brought you home at this time. I wonder what you would have missed if you were still in India! I know from experience that a piece of your heart will remain there... Yes, we all prayed for you, but we continue to pray for you both and love you so very very much. I'm so proud of the courage and willingness you showed to undertake such a journey and so is the Lord. :-) G.
