Glorified Weakness

Hello- it's been a while and one of my gifts is NOT blogging- also I am living in a small village with out internet (and electricity a lot of the time lol) so I will just post a message I wrote Lauren Pissott my habibty. (sorry Lo there is nothing new on here for you)

"Today is my officially my first day with out tears! lol the culture shock is wearing off and I am starting to eat normally and enjoy the children soooo much. Like really I was so scared of them at first- the communication barrier was just too much to handle but now things are going so much better. I sit with them and Chinna when they come home from school and help them study and at night I serve them dinner. I cannot believe this already poor family is helping support like 35 orphans they do not know at all- feeding them, bringing them to school- paying special attention to them- Like you can see the actually love this family has for the hurting. Today they brought in like 30 lepers into their church- or 23..idk I'm bad at estimating- but they brought them in and feed them- gave tea- water and worshiped with them. I almost lost it when I saw all these lepers praising God and lifting up or clapping the hands that they do not even have. This has been such a humbling experience already. I cannot believe how strong I mistake myself to be sometimes you know? I am sooooo weak- but I am learning more and more everyday that God is being perfected in my weakness- so cool right?? that God can even take our WEAKNESS and use it to glorify himself! So God right?? I realized today, as I was reflecting on my journey here, that I literally had to wait on God for every single step- like just getting me my visa- then just getting me to India- then just getting me a ticket for Rajumundry- then just telling Matthew to be there for me. lol Moment by moment God is getting me by. I guess it is better to learn sooner then later."

So that is basically it- when I come back to the states I want to try as hard as I can to raise support for this amazing family of God and help them get a place for the orphans and some legit medicine for the lepers they serve. God is teaching me day by day. Thank you all for your prayers and support

In Christ Alone- Meg
