I've been thinking about it all day.
I cant believe its been a year since we boarded the plane (or shall i say planes) to India.
I remember being so terrified and excited. I didn't feel like it was real. It still doesn't feel real.
I thought i was going to India to help people and share God's love and faithfulness. I didn't realize i was the one who was going to be changed. I remember when i first got there i wanted to leave. I hated the smell and the noise and the crowds. And now ever since i left, I've wanted to return, more than anything. I Hunger. I Thirst for Calcutta.
Who knew that i could find God's true, perfect love in the midst of poverty and filth.
He did. And i think that's why i was sent.
I miss you Calcutta.

"Finding God's true and perfect love in the midst of poverty and filth"...I think Jesus said it this way in so many words, "a man found a treasure buried in the dirt of a big field..."
Ever turn that parable a little and wonder if Jesus was the man and you were the treasure?
The blog looks good! I wanted to give you your first comment so you feel all official!!
Glad to meet you Nichole, I'm Robin and i found you by way of Mike Rea. He's right, your blog looks good.
This post is so touching, i hope you do, by the grace and mercy of God, get the privaledge and thrill of returning to Calcutta.
Maybe he has prepared you for a 'calcutta' here as well - i don't know, but i will pray for your desire to be the desire He intends to fulfill.
