Life

Here is an excerpt from our latest newsletter... the way my heart has been feeling lately :)

"Cliché's and nice songs and goosebumps are long-gone on this road to chasing the unreached. The reality of chaos, really hard work, frustration and fighting the enemy is what fills our senses. But truly, God’s great love consumes us in the darkness. When faith and fire are scarce and we’re moving about by the light of the moon... Jesus whispers that He is here, He is strong, He knows and He loves us so much."

It's hard to keep up with my blog when my heart is experiencing all the things it is... and when we have been living out of suitcases for several months. Lately the baggage and hotels became unbearable and we finally got into our own place. Praise God! After 2 apts fell through... we found this lovely little ground floor apartment equipped with all we could ask for(minus the bugs). What's in it? Our baggage of course. And we did manage to get two beds(one for guests!) and a table. Hoping to find a cozy couch and coffee table soon! Im still pinching myself.. is this really where we are digging our roots? This strange, mysterious, noisy, crowded, dark land? I recently heard India described as a place that assaults all of your senses. I agreed. But I do love this place... simply because I love to be light where there is none. I love to bring my Jesus where he has not yet been. I don't live for me, I live so that others can truly find life.
