ok guys. this one is going to be short, even though i have so much to say and it's been so long.
first, praise God from whom all blessings flow. he has been providing funds in such small amounts and it has added up. i was so worried i couldn't sleep. but jesus says that that is not how i am to be. God is so faithful. before i applies to the GUT and study abroad, He promised the funds. ergo:
the donations went from $800 to $2,279 in less than a month.
work hard. be faithful. DO NOT WORRY. if it does not come through, trust the Lord. if it does come through, trust the Lord. always, in everything, trust the Lord.
India is going to be really intense. I am beginning to feel it in my bones... I had a dream a couple of weeks ago about someone in my family. it was so intense. they were locked in a cage by their husband who only used them. i couldn't handle it. i wanted to trade places with them but they wouldn't let me. i woke up in such a daze from it. i told my friend linda about the dream. it felt like God wanted me to feel the pain of what it feels like to see injustice. we prayed so hard about it.
humans can turn into such crazy and scary machines. i need to trust God so much in faith if such injustices are going to be so apparent. please, everyone, pray for the women and men of Kolkata. if it is on your heart, please pray for those who are sex-trafficked throughout the world. the Lord is great and awesome. He loves justice, mercy and love.
please remember: to fear the Lord is to hate evil.(prov 8:13)
God is so essential to my life. to my being. to my world here and my world in kolkata and senegal. He will be my protection and my light. Please pray for protection and discretion. wisdom and discernment. but also love and understanding. decisive action and prudence. please, for all of my teammates.
i have been learning about mother teresa too! she was so incredible! seriously, if you can, check out her biography. and the amazing thing is, she did it all for jesus. all of it. please pray for this mindset for us all.
i love my family. they have supported me so much. they have taught me to work hard for what i want. they taught me that i must be passionate, even if the people around me do not understand why i want to go to india. if it is my dream, it is worthy of attainment.
much love to everyone who has donated. may the Lord be praised and glorified through your donations! it has come from the most unlikely places. i will write more late. for now i have to work on scholarships, work, help my family, clean my room, and hang out with the Lord.
much love!
mary
