The Start

Wow, is all that I can say, traveling for 24 hrs didn’t bother me. I expected to feel like a child and freak out thinking, “What if I miss my flight? What if I can’t find it? I’m here all alone“. Instead, all those learned instincts fell into place and I felt abnormally at home. Fear didn’t hit me at all. Some may say, “Well, Bekah, your almost 24, but for some of you who didn’t know I feel like I am just now stepping into adulthood in some ways. When I was a teen my parents thought I was materialistic, I really wasn’t that bad, now that I heading into my mid 20’s I am analyzing myself. I care about some things but in the long run I don’t care about “stuff” anymore. Which now when I look out my window in India all these weird emotions rise up in me. I’m not in Kansas is the constant phrase in my head. Guys I LOVE this. Even though my mind is flipping out right now. I want God to twist my heart. I want to feel uncomfortable. I knew I would at first and to be honest that is why I wanted to stay 6 months. I want to serve foremost. I also want to be stretched to the limit. I think in a lot of situations we don’t get the most out the most of what God has for us because we get to complacent. This is not a resort. This is a town where there are no washer and drier clothes are hand washed. This city has buildings so close I am scared to open my eyes when we are driving in the streets, but I see beauty in it and in the people. My beloved friends and family pray for me lol cause culture shock has set in but praying in the spirit while listen to Cory Asbury has helped give me peace. P.S. Tiffany thank you sooo much for the music, seriously. I am also really glad I brought my flannel button ups…I can’t wear them out but I plan on using them as “light jackets” for when I ’m in the apt. As most of you know I have been raising support to be here and I still am I will be tracking how much I spend this month to see how much its going to be about. I will let you guys know how I am financially on here by the 8th of December. Tomorrow I hope to go out and hit some of the local marts and get some Indian attire. I will have a video blog up as soon as I can. Love you all.
