Starting Over

The problem with technology is that once you figure it out (esp. at my age), it turns on its head and karate kicks you to the moon! OK, I accidently lost our first blog, India Melodies, in cyberspace, so we are starting over. You can read the most recent posts there still, but the old ones are lost so...I am going to re-enter all of them eventually. Hey, keep moving forward, right?

We are starting over in other ways, too. Although we are still here in India, we are contemplating what the Lord has for us in the future. These deep thoughts were precipitated by Mr. Gabriel's attendance at a conference on impact. Are we in the right place at the right time doing the right thing and achieving maximum impact? And, since we are OK for now, what about the future? A more remote area would definitely challenge our comfort zone (and you are thinking,"Aren't you ALREADY challenged enough in that area?").

Right now, we have water delivered to our door. We have AC (when we have electricity). Our church is English-speaking (hey, that's how it was when it was founded 50+ years ago). What if we started over in a more remote area, a village where no one spoke much English, with wells or rationed water, and no AC (it was 107 degrees on Friday)? I know that the Lord would give us the grace to bloom wherever He planted us. Besides, we would DEFINITELY learn the language then! We will see where the second half of our term here leads us. Pray with us for His leading in His great adventure.
