NEVERTHIRST INDIA



In 12 hours I'll be on the first of 4 flights over the next two days which will land me in Calcutta, India.

If you are interested in learning a little more about India and why I am traveling there, be sure to check out the blog over the next week. I'll be updating as much as possible. Below is one of the NEVERTHIRST: India videos. I encourage you to watch THIS VIDEO to learn more about India and work happening there.

Bags are Packed


My bags are (just about) packed and I am MORE THAN READY to head to India.

Last night I had just climbed into bed when a round of thunder and lightning rolled in, followed by the constant sound of rain on the windows. I rolled over to look at the clock just as it flipped to 11:00PM.

11:00 PM + 8 hours = 7:00AM in India

As that thought crossed my mind, I realized that somewhere, halfway around the world there are people waking up and beginning another day of their lives as I am ending one of mine. Somewhere there is a mother putting on her sari, feeding her children breakfast, and walking out the door to begin her day. Maybe she is going to retrieve water for her daily tasks, or going to the market. But whatever she is doing, in two short day our lives will collide into one another, and I am awed by this notion.

I cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store for this trip. Whose life will intersect with my own, if only for a brief time.

So Excited


I can't believe I'll be in India in only a few short days. I am so excited to begin this journey with a great group of friends.
