Lessons of the Heart

One of the things that God has been doing for me during our time here is giving me a peek into my heart and motives...It's not always as pretty as I wish. Sometimes I really don't like the things I see there. I see, at times an inordinate desire to please people... to fit in, and cut the grade...But that's not what God wants me to be seeking. I really want to live for him alone. I'm asking God work in my heart and to give me a heart of pure worship to him that simply delights to do His will and doesn't care so much what others think of me.

 

 I've started to think a lot about returning home, now that our time here is drawing towards a close. In two month we will be wrapping up here and preparing to come home. So, I think what it will mean to come back and try to readjust to "normal" life. I want to be all there, yet I also do not want to simply forget the lessons God has taught us here. 

We've talked some about what we will do. We want to plug in more in our church, but we are also thinking of trying to do some ministry in D.C. It's really not that far away, and there are people there from all over the world. God will need to continue to direct our steps... We're still praying about whether He wants us to make a sort of exploratory trip to northern India once we have enough funds. Or is he perhaps calling us to minister in the US, possibly among the many many ethnic minorities represented in our big cities? We don't feel that we have a clear direction as yet. Please keep praying for us.
