well, we are here.
and truly, I could not be happier.
You know when God has given you a dream,
and then you're in it,
you want to keep pinching yourself to make sure it's even real.
In my case I pinch Kevin, and we smile and shake our heads and whisper praise to the one who orchestrated all of this.
and i've loved every second of it.
It's probably one of the dirtiest and dustiest and crowded places i've ever lived,
{like no joke I think I already have the black lung}
but honestly, I love it.
I can't quite put my finger on it, except to say that when Abba calls you, it just feels right.
heavenly blood pumping through your veins that energizes and refreshes and slowly churns what your heart already knows...."i was made for this".
we were made for this.
to HEAR
and LISTEN
and GO
with such abandon that nothing holds us back.
that's what it means to be ALIVE.
I don't know if i'll be any good at what i'm supposed to do,
but I know God will be,
so i'm holding on to that truth.
like really, holding on.
this place is so different,
sooooo different.
but i'm thinking that maybe in a place of change, Abba will make me different too.
cause I desperately want this time and this place to transform me.
because my heart needs some cleaning, just like this city!
I met the girls in the home,
and my heart melted.
like butter.
I wanted to grab tight and never ever let go.
Man, my heart may have just poured out of my chest.
you guys, they are precious.
precious image bearers of the king.
i'm tearing up just thinking about the sweetness they exude.
I cannot wait to spend more time with them.
I wanted to thank all of you readers for the emails and comments you have left me. Seriously, when I landed in Nepal and opened my email, SOOO many of you poured love out on to me. And I cried, because to know I have that much prayer overwhelms me in the most beautiful way possible.
so thank you.
here are a few pictures around our home. i'm excited to post more when I can get out to explore!
love Katie
