Counting Down-INDIA 2010

3 Mar

Two Months & Six Days…

I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken… -Psalm 37:25

So, I’ve been wondering- where on earth can I buy inexpensive skirts long enough to reach my ankles? It’s been the hunt of the century! I consider myself a pretty swift shopper but who would have thought lengthy skirts would be so hard to find!

We’ve begun practicing dramas and such. I have to say, drama is not my strength! I knew from the start that this trip would be a learning experience, but I never realized how truly shy I am of acting even in the smallest of ways.   

Aside from the peculiar drama warm ups (which mostly consisted of screaming, shouting, and acting a fool—did I mention this was a growing experience??) We’ve learned a lot of interesting facts about India. While there, we’ve been instructed not to look men in the eyes. Exactly opposite of any customer service training I’ve received- eye contact is considered “an invitation”. Thus, it’s needless to say- that I will most definitely be looking at the ground the majority of the trip.

For cultural modesty reasons, all girls will be required to wear cotton floor-length skirts and XL t-shirts. Nice and comfy style in the 100+ temperatures. In addition, we are encouraged against wearing any form of makeup or jewelry.  I AM SO STINKING EXCITED.

Please pray for our team and that God would begin to prepare the hearts of the people who come across our path. He has a way of healing hearts and changing lives like no one else can!

Praise God, so far, $630.00 has been donated towards India- thanks to the Duffy Family, Mr. Flores, & Jarrod Wells. Which means I am $3170.00 short of boarding a plane towards an unmistakable adventure while leaving the comfort of Dallas behind. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD.

Thank you for partnering with me to fight against child slavery and impact India. Together, we can see an end to this horrific industry.
