As I sit...

First off I want to thank you so much for your prayers. They really are moving things and I am so grateful that your praying. THANK YOU! Most of my blogs or updates or emails are being written through my iPod and sometimes it has a mind of its own in correcting my wording and I don't catch it until its too late... so thanks for hainging in there when the wording gets a little confusing.

In the past week or so I have had an infection on my leg from a boil, at least that is what the doctor said. It has been a very humbling experience. For the first week I discovered my infection, I could not stand because the pain was so unbearable and my hearing would start to fade... I was often asked the question by doctors "Do you have diabetes?" Every time this made me worry... actually more than worry...more like freak out because diabetes runs in my family and I pray that I will never get it.  I had gone to 4 doctors and 2 hospitals and had my antibiotics changed on me more that I can remember.  My leg after 4 or 5 days finally started to drain with puss... too graphic for you??? Well it was nasty and very very painful. One doctor had stuck something in my leg to help it drain... and no numbing agent there... what an experience... I could not really get dressed without help... I realized how hard it is for me to need help from others. Humbling... definitely! I am learning a lot. I have been so grateful for this family we are staying with. They have taken such great care of me. They have changed my bandage for me, served in every way possible, and kept me in prayer! I am finally getting better but the last hospital visit I was commanded strict bed rest, no walking! So yesterday, my team left back for Mumbai while I stay here in  Wardha with one of my teammates until Friday so I can rest and heal.

We have been so blessed to stay here and be a part of this ministry DinBandhu (friend of the poor).  This past week we were able to be a part of a pastors conference where we got to worship and pray with them. Honestly I just feel humbled to be doing all that we are doing.  Our team really desires the fullness of what God has...but as I meditate on this... I am faced with the reality that the fullness comes with a cost. I want to be willing. I want us to be willing. This is a lifestyle not just a season. We have about a month left here in India and I want to finish strong. We then will be headed back to the states.

Please continue to pray for health and protection over us. Pray that we will grab a hold of all that God has for us. Pray for provision as well... I still need monthly supporters and I am continuing with this non profit ministry for the next 2 years.Thank again for all your prayers and support. I honestly cannot do this with out you. I have more and more of a deeper revelation of what the body of Christ looks like with each passing day. We need each other. So Thanks Family!
