I am back in Kolkata

Hello everyone.

so times rushes by and I am going around the country of beautiful India.
Darjeeling and Gwuahati where really nice. I enjoyed the time of rest and thoughts.
It was cold and I was freezing just during the nights as 3 blankets and a hot water bottle, then I was content and in the morning I was not really tempted to go out of bed any time soon. It was good not having to.
Its good to be back in Kolkata surrounded by my kids and the heat is great too. I am finding out about places where your body is able to sweat. Well definitly learning about myself. hahhaha
Yesterday I went to the streets and I love it again. Playing with the kids on the street can create some akward moments but its been fabulouso... I am getting closer to those little ones and also to the people I am working with. yeah getting settle in and getting into routins. eventhough every day is an adventure. Tomorrow is a team coming yeah I have to host them.... one challenge more....orientation. Good thing I did some of that in Tokyo allready.
I have been learning a lot and think more....its great getting to know Jesus in a deeper way. I pray that my hunger will never stop growing and that I will not be fed up by God. there is so much more to Him than we can see or feel. and this is really encouraging to know.

I belong

all my life I asked myself where do I fit in? where do I belong and now I know.
I belong to HIM. He always loved me, before I was born he poured down on me with his mercy and he prepared the family where I should grew up in. He loved me and cared for me before I was born and trough out my life he did that. He still does and I marvel at Him. By His grace I live. I belong to Him, His culture is mine. In Him my roots are and now I know who I am for I belong to Him. Nothing can separated me from His love, nothing, for He lives in me and I'm in Him. I belong to His Kingdom.
Tears are waiting in my eyes as I write does words down. Knowing that I am loved, wanted and cared for, is all my heart ever wanted to know. This is what God is teaching me.

He calls me

I leave my fathers house to follow you to the end.
I leave my friends, my comfort and all I know behind.

For you call me to be a city on a hill to those who are lost in the darkness.
To be a fountain of spring water to others.

I am you hand that feeds the hungry.
I'm bringing your fragrance to the dirty slums.
I am your arms that embraces the lonely streetgirl.
I'm spreading your hope amongst the working prostitudes.

I will shine for you, so other may find acceptance and purpose.
I will be your light, so others may be captured by your unconditional love.

burn inside of me and mold me into a ordinary radical.

This oh Lord is my prayer!
