unidentifiable meat and more

Hey guys. I hope that you are all doing well. well I felt like I was really back here last night. Yesterday I went to eat at my nepalle friend Sita’s house (my closest friend here in nepal) and I was given some unidentifiable meat.. but I ate it.. bones and all.. heheh.. well last night about 6:00 I felt a “stirring in my soul” hehehhe.. and it was not the Lord’s presence moving! 🙂 So I threw up, slash other things pretty much all last night. But it really wasn’t awful. My sweet little roomie heard me throwing up and she came in and quietly said ma panni dinchu (can I get you some water). Anyways– I was up a while, so I got to spend alot of time praying.. it hurt to much to lay down so I had some good prayer time at the throne of grace in between hugging a different throne 🙂 But PRAISE THE LORD GLORY ON HIGH.. I was afraid when I woke up this morning I would still feel sick, and I felt fine.. so i guess I just had to get the meat out of my system. I feel much better and was able to go out today! I don’t think this is a perry the parasite case!

so I am continually humbled by the nepalee christians here. They love and love and just totally love the lord like I never imagined. I often think…. wow– I can here to serve them,and they know Jesus and have given up more for him then I could imagine. They are hilarous. They think we as white people (seto janna) shouldnot do anything. If any of my friends come over, they insist on doing the dishes.. if I walk to the store with them they insist on carrying whatever it is..they are the most giving hospitable friends ever. (the non christians put us christians to shame with their servants heart also).

so today I went to visit a national christian partner that I had worked with when i wa here before. It was so exciting to sit with him and here what God has done through him. He is also a travel agent as his “platform” so he was able to get me a good deal on a hotel in the mountains this weekend. Glory be.. i get to go to the mountains on friday. There are some other workers coming from bangladesh from my company on a visa run.. and I am taking them to the mountains for one night. .. really it is a selfish exscuse to go to the mountains. I have been suffereing with the Black lung.. hehhee.. that’s what we call the kathmandu cough from all the pollution here– so I am quite excited to go for some fresh air. Pray that it will be a great time of refreshing for me.

i am going to the oprhanage tonight and will take some pics and post them. I have been suprsied that this is not the main ministry God has called me to since I have been here. Christian nationals are running the orphanage and doing it well. It’s funny how we have expectations of where God is going to use us, and then he changes it completely. I have found my most important place of ministry has been in just hanging out with the nepalees that drop by my home. Some days it’s hard.. because this doesn’t “look like ministry”… but God is showing me to throw away my ideas of service– stop trying to be a martha.. sit at his feet as mary and then see where he wants me to serve. How about you?
