final days.

less than a week left in India! i can't believe it.

looking back on all that has happened, it's hard to believe we've only been here 2 months. it feels like years, really. india has changed me, god has changed me in india.

for now, the things we've gone through, the things we've seen, all of this is a physical thing, but when we leave, it will all become something only in our memories & in our minds. it will no longer be all around me.  i feel like part of me will still be in india, & that part of me has died here. i've learned so much about death here, about what it means to die to self, spiritual death, & physical death, too. i've learned about life here, as well. i've found that so much life is found in dying to yourself. there's no life outside of Christ. God is sprouting up life here in india. he is alive, working in these hearts & in this nation. it's been beautiful to see & to be a part of. it's been beautiful to walk in God's strength, in His joy & in His victory. india has been... the hardest thing i've probably ever lived thru before, but so so good. india has been a crazy adventure. i'm so blessed to have been able to live life here for a bit & to experience God the way that i have. that's a huge blessing. 

see you soon, usa.
