I'm not sure that I can capture my thoughts about the trip to India. We leave in 3 days and I'm finalizing my preparation. I have no idea what to expect. My dad mentioned that he's bringing a bag of toys, presumably the children at the orphanage that my father's church supports. I did budget to take money for pure giving. I'm praying that the Lord will show me a need that I can address and fulfill. I know that the need there is great and to do one small thing isn't a drop in a bucket.  But I can't dismiss the overwhelming urge I have to help. I'm praying that my efforts will be guided. I did pick up a journal that I'm taking with me. I plan to do a lot of writing and transcribe my thoughts to the blog when I return. A good friend bought me the digital camera that I wanted, so I'll be taking some great photos (and possibly videos) of the trip from beginning to end. I'll do my best to get another entry in before I take my first flight Thursday morning. I counted and now realize I will have 10 flights over the 13 day trip. Please pray for us. Pray for our safety and that the we will hear from the Lord.
