As I give more of my heart the call becomes greater

The last few weeks have been so packed full of me surrendering my dreams and God give them back to me even bigger. I really have such a little idea to what He is calling me to do and what His plans are. All I know is that the more I give this dream of going and working with the people of India to Him, the stronger the pull is upon my heart. At times my heart will hurt due to me missing the beautiful country and the people there. Lately, my heart has been aching as it is pulled. Pulled by God. Each day I feel more and more that God is calling me to live a life that is way out of my comfort zone. That is exciting. It is also really scary. It is hard to tell people, mostly friends and family that I may be living in another country for the rest of my life. do I know that for sure? no. Do I know India for sure? no. Do I know who I will go with? no. Do I know what is going to happen? no.


no.no.no.no. thats the answer. But then when Jesus asks me like He did to Peter, "Do you love me?" yes. "Will you follow me?" yes. "Will you die for me?" yes.


Jesus is the love of my life and He is crazy jealous for me. I most make sure that He is the one and only love of my life. And when I answer "yes" to those questions, that means yes in India and yes in Arkansas, even if my heart is being pulled in another direction. All I know is that it must all be given to God...and Jesus is pretty crazy. Who knows what He has for me.

My beautiful and dear, Jeran. I love you and your tender, bursting heart for your King. Can I just say...I MISS YOU. ;-)

Life for me as well as this ministry has been the most intense it has ever been, but beautiful - so in the busyness I had to halt all communication with many dear people in my life - YOU, being one of them. I have hopped on twice to your blog, though and have enjoyed seeing what's new for you. How has life in a new culture been? Tell me three of your favorite "snapshots" from your time there. :-) THis is getting long, so maybe an email would be best. I love you, Jeran.

THis entry is beautiful! My heart is more understanding what you speak of due to recent directions and pulls of my heart. More on that later. I love you...
