missions and good friends

I love hearing about what God is doing.

The other night I was able to spend some time with couple of sweet friends, catching up and enjoying the evening. It seems we are each being led in pretty different directions, but there is always something connecting us.. perhaps because we grew up together, or because in spite of heading to different corners of the world, our hearts are in similar places.

One of the girls, Sarah Kate, is leaving today(!!) for India for 6 weeks. She spent three months in India a couple of years ago with a missions group, and the place and people really took hold of her heart. So now she is going back, seeking the Lord about what her longterm involvement there should be, and helping at Asha House-a home for orphaned and at-risk children. Sarah shared with us about the children she will be reunited with and some interesting interactions she had with people there. She came alive the more she talked about India and the ministries there.

What a joy it is to hear about what is happening in missions around the world; there is always so much hope when someone is led into missions. It gives me energy and makes me excited about pursuing the things that I'm being led towards.
