Our time in India is almost up. There were a couple of Australians here when we got here. Paul and Louise have been an amazing encouragement to me. They left earlier this week. It was really sweet to be around them, and I miss them already. I am really very grateful for their presence here. Lizzie is another friend at our guest house. She is from England and works with street children. She is a rather amazing woman. I don't quite know how to show her how important her friendship is and has been to me. Sometimes I'm horrible at showing that on a daily basis. I hope she knows. The people you meet, they change your life as you go, don't they? Especially in moments like these, when you are most actively becoming.
Our next stop will be working with children and youth, teaching about identity, forgiveness, and reconciliation. I am stunned at the honor and opportunity which we have. Amazing.
I probably won't be back online for the next month or so. I may check once before we fly out this weekend. I love you all. Please keep praying...perhaps now more than ever.

About Me

- Beth
- Pismo Beach, CA, United States
- I'm a midwest girl living in California, trying to find a way to change the world. My blog title "Raindrops in the Ocean" comes from the Sara Groves song "The Long Defeat". In my travels I have seen some of the darkest evil imaginable and some of the most stunning beauty as God ransoms the captive soul. I am left with hope, and the simple prayer, "God, use my life."
