India Update

Well, let’s face it I haven’t been updating this mission trip- feeling a little guilty! It’s been about 4 months since my very first post! WHOOPS! Anyways, I decided to start again so here it goes…


Jan- I was excited that God has gave me the desire to go but I was scared to travel to a country known for top human sex trafficking, spicy food, stinky people, and just more spices! My soul  is rejoicing but during this month my flesh was tripping out!

Feb- I had a lot of doubt. I remember praying Lord if this is really of you let A,B,C happen and give me the strength to follow through and I’ll D,E,F… well…. I learned when you challenge God he doesn’t just meet your expectations but he goes above and beyond.

March- I sent letters out. Got my Visa ready. Prayed. … saw visions/dreams.. Started to really embrace the fact that I was going.
April- God gave me TWO signs that this is his WILL FOR ME! I remember it was towards the end of the week… I think maybe a Thursday and I was gone from 6am until 10pm… LONG DAY! I don’t drink coffee but I knew I needed something. So, I decided to go to the drive through at Biggby’s on Van Dyke. When placing my order there on the white board on the brick wall said… . “ Daily Trivia! What building in India are you forbidden to fly a plane over?” April 12, 2012. I kind of laughed but was puzzled at the same time. I asked the barista if they change the sign daily… I asked her if they usually have daily trivia… she said yep! I then laughed and said that’s funny I’m going to India in June.  Totally God thing! Then around the same week or so I got a text from TRIVISA that my Visa was accepted. Then it hit me that I’m really going to India. I like goals, I like to plan things……. But I can’t…. all I know is that I’m supposed to go to India. I have complete peace about it. I strongly believe God is growing this desire within me.


May- well may is flying by and I can’t believe it…. I can’t believe that India is pretty much here… I can’t believe I am going to travel across the world. I feel so much excitement to go love on the children. I am ready. Lord, here I am send me. (Isaiah 6)


Today- My soul sings… I want to be there… I am no longer scared… I think I’m ready… I am anxious...I’m diving in with no expectations but ready to receive everything God pours out! I am willing to love on these orphans. I am willing to get stinky, go hungry, be exhausted, to demonstrate Jesus Christ to the ends of the world. I want to be a risk taker. I want to be a catalyst. I want to be an encounter for Jesus the King of Kings. I want to see blind eyes open. I want to see bondage fall off at the name of Jesus! I want to see dry bones living again. I want to see the lame get up and walk.  I want to see hope renewed. I want to see freedom instead of depression. I want to see love instead of hate.


MOST OF ALL I WANT TO RELEASE GOD’S KINGDOM IN INDIA JUNE 2012!!!!!!
