Jesus is the Winner Man

So, we are in Agra and just went and saw the Taj Mahal. It looks like it did last time. haha But leaving the kids yesterday was so hard. I can’t tell you the pian that i felt and the joy that they have gievn me. Those kids have taught me more than anyone could ever. I have learned to never lack in joy and to pray without ceasing. I mean really to pray. These kids pray 3 times a day 5:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. but they never stop in the middle. Everything is just a constant pray. They said they would pray for me to get to come back soon ( which God i hope you answer that when with a yes!), they prayed for us to raise enough money for to take them to the waterpark (which we did and they had soooo much fun), and they pray for water and food on a daily basis. These kids are just amazing that allow God to be there ULITMATE PROVIDER and it is such a blessing to see. There water tanker has been rusted out so everyday the older boys would get on a tractor and take bottles to the local well and fill them up and that is the water that they would have for that day. Well, they continued to pray for water while we were there and sure enough the last day, Sam Sir was able to get the a new water tanker. I have just never been in  a place were the Lord meeting needs was so “in my face”. I mean the Lord meets my needs everday but this is just in such a tangible way and these kids and staff just grasp that and holdon to it because it is really all they have to hold on to. I just love these kids so much and i loe the staff and there hearts for this plan to build a new India through there kids, they really see this plan and want so desperately for it to become a reality. It was so humbling to be in the presence of people my age and older taking responsibilty for the widows and the orphans and God comands us. It makes me feel like my excuse that I am to young or only one person is such a selfish thought because the Lord can use the youth and an individual to change the world. It is not my plan, it is His.

Vipin and Vicram are two of the men that work at  the orphange. They are 22 and 23. Both of them grew up in the Emmanuel Orphanage. To see them step and become two of India’s finest is just an incredible thing to see. These men love the Lord and love the kids and are going to change India. Cooky (that is not really her name but we couldn’t prenounce it) she is there and cooks for the children. Her and her husband and their 3 year old son live in a bedroom there at the orphange. She has such a beautiful heart and spirit. Every time she sits down or stands up she says “Praise the Lord”. Then there is Ahama. Ahama is like the loving strict mother for all the orphans. She is widowed but man does she love the Lord and those kids.

 I am so blessed to have seen and experience all the things i did while i lived these peoples life for only a week. Probably the biggest lesson I learned was not to build God into your life but to build your life around God. It is easy to say you do but if you think about it. it really isn’t. There are always those things, those little “insignficant” parts of our lives that we leave God out of and he hates it. He loves us so much yet we try to leave Him out of things?? It is something I am just working on in my own life and wanted to share with all of you. I also wanted to share the desire that the Lord has gievn me. That my heart is truel here. I will return back her one day, long term. As for the details, I am still praying on those and i ask for your help but I know the feelings I have felt and the things I have experinced have lead me to that very hard reality for me to face. So, please allow me to be part of your daily prayers. Pray for direction, understanding, and wisdom.

Sorry everything was a little scattered i haven’t slept much. haha I love you and miss you guys so much. I am getting a little home sick but I am super excited to see what the Lord has planned for Africa!!!
