If you would have told me a year ago that in a year I would be in India. wearing a man skirt, writing a blog I would’ve laughed at you. But as of now this feels like what I’ve always done, airing out my thighs on a hot Indian day. The other day I was reminded of a word that God gave me in 2002, I was 11. I was getting prayed for at a summer camp and i saw a planing flying through the clouds and it had missionaries on it. I started to cry cause i thought this was God telling me that i was going to be a pilot and fly missionaries around the world. So I tried for years to get a place where i could get into JROTC in hopes of going to the Air Force to be a pilot so after i got out i could fly missionaries. When I finally got into JROTC I hated it. Discouraged and defeated I convinced myself that the word i got from God when i was a kid was just in my head, not a word from God. So forgotten and new dreams in mind I wandered through high school with no real plans and after Graduating and taking a year off i realized I had to do something. So long story short I ended up in India. I know you are wandering where I am going with this, this is going to a place called V Colony. It is apart of Sarah’s Covenant Homes which is a ministry that takes care of orphans, which 99% of them are mentally and or physically disabled. We go to V Colony or Victory House sometimes 5 times a week. There are over 50 kids there and they are all amazing but one really stands out to me. For privacy reasons I won’t give her name but she is the most amazing little girl I’ve ever met. She has only one disability, her Tibia and Fibula on her left leg are in half. I’m not exactly sure why it is the way it is, but in regards to her poor leg it just hangs, scared heavily from ten surgeries in an attempt to put it back to normal. She even has a huge scar on her arm from where they took the bone from it. The thing that I cant get over is that there is a really good doctor in the US that will fix it for free if they can jut get her there. It’s not that its not fixable its just that the government is hesitant to give her a medical visa or let her be adoptaded because of passed issues with adoption in INdia. So this beautiful little girl scoots around on the floor to get around. How this all ties together is that the other day i was sitting in a chair with her on my lap, she is around ten years old, and she was teaching me Telegu and sign language, she is so amazing. But as she is spelling all the other kids names in sign language the lord spoke to me and said, you weren’t flying. you were just on the plane. And i said “what?” “Lord what are you talking about?” and it came to me,and as I look down at this little girl she put up her index finger, her pinky, and her thumb. I want you to do this right now. If you don’t know what this means, its i love you in sign language. I did it back and tried not to cry..
In India they put white powder on kids faces to make them whiter, and “more beautiful”
