return of the world traveler

well i have returned from all my traveling. hopefully this is the last of the summer....other than the occasional beach trip. i have been so busy, i haven't even really debriefed myself from my mission trip to asia. but, what i do know, is what i am about to share.

the trip was phenomenal. my heart has grown immensely for the people of asia...i can hardly contain myself. i know i say that all the time, but this time is different. when people ask me how my trip was, i gave just a general "it was so good." but at the core of my being i just want to bust out crying. there is nothing more heart wrenching than leaving people that you have grown so fond of. i know God has called me to be His love to a hurting country and people.

my memory card on my camera broke, otherwise i would share pictures. but let me just say, i remember every face and name. i remember things we talked about, where we went, where they are spiritually...some things are not easily forgotten.

i know that i know that i know Jesus saved me from a lifetime separated from Him. what in the world would stop me from telling other people they can have that same salvation? nothing.

i hope and pray God brings you to a place where your heart is absolutely captivated by a people group. i pray that God would keep that on your heart until you take the step. most of all, i pray for all the people i met, and will meet on past and future trips...that God might use me in a way that brings glory to Him and shows others about my God and His neverending love.
