writing anyway

well.. i was not intending to post anything... in fact, i have no idea what my intentions were by logging in to my blog. but, here i am, unexpected by myself, reading old comments left by dear ones and considering what i had written that at that time, possibly even now, stirred hearts.

where are we now? what does life look like around us.

for me it has been a struggle. i suppose i already imagined myself back in india or berlin by this time.. well.. i did. and as i read about or look at photos from those times there i am left again with heaviness on my heart.

berlin, india, i love you guys. more importantly, God loves you. Jesus died for you, and more and more people come to you in His love wanting to help with the harvest.

God, please send more workers! to the ghats and mountains, fields and cities of india. to the streets, alleys, parks and high-rise neighborhoods of berlin.

i still (want to) believe that the time in those places are far from over... and i choose to because my heart still aches for them. but i am now here in southern germany, i guess.. waiting, to an extent, working (on marriage and my own heart) and praying for His will with us here.

i read rachels comment about God's family being my own. thank You God that You never left me alone. even now, i am surrounded by family (kathys) and know that i am blessed.

i pray to this, Lord, please send more workers here too. may we be part of Your family here, not just our own. and may we be a shining light (picture a really bright shining light in a dark passage way for example) to the family here.

please bless, encourage and sustain those lights in berlin and india. and when it by Your will, may we shine there too, blessing, encouraging and loving those there.

and most of all.... thank You for Your love. though i cannot understand how amazing it is. how amazing You are. thanks for what You are doing right now. please don't let it be useless time waiting...

much love,
israel
