God is the ultimate. Raising funds for this adventure, He was there. Giving me encouragement when I needed it the most, He was there. Loving on me when I felt alone, He was there. Protecting me when I was somewhere unsafe, He was there. When I needed energy, He was there. When I wanted to show love, He was there. Needing someone to talk to, He was there. God is so many different things. He is always everywhere, always listening, and always wanting the best for His children. A good friend recently showed me that living your life doesn't mean living it to please other people; it's...

Saturday night we went out to the beach about 30 minutes from where we are staying for a bonfire. One of the girls who lives in the apartment we are staying at chose to celebrate her birthday at the beach. So off we went with yummy Indian food, cake, party hats and all.

Then a memory came across my mind from when I was really little.    I can remember when my dad used to get home from work when I was young and I would be so...

"Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us." John 4:11 Since I have been in India God has really layed on my heart just to love. To love others is to live in Christ. I have been praying a lot and asking God to give me love to pour into the people and children here. Loving people should be so easy, yet we make it so hard.The people here have already shown me love by how welcoming and generous they are. You will always see...
