Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger.

Pratīkṣā - वेटिंग - Waiting


I just wanted to share what the Lord's been teaching me, as I learn to wait on Him and His timing in all things..

Going anywhere in India is a process; waiting for the bus to come, waiting for the the bus to leave, and waiting on the bus ride.  Coming from the country that opened the first fast food joint and developed the first microwave, the concept of waiting is totally foreign.  We are taught faster is better; faster cars, faster food, and faster lives. It's a culture which leads us to believe having down time is wrong, wasteful even. Yet without time to just be, life passes you by, its gone before you know it. I love to take these opportunities to think and breathe. A wise person once told me, "Life is a balance." In my own life I have found this to be true, to much of a good thing for instants spoils the joy found in it. Though one might argue you could never spend to much time with the Lord, if you don't share what He gives you then how is that loving, the greatest of His commandments. While being here I find my peace during these daily rides into town. Its where I spend a lot of my time chatting it up with the Almighty. When I am running low He always knows what to say to fill me up again... We talk most trips to and from town, however today was just one of those days I just needed Him to talk...

Music is where I turn when I need inspiration, comfort, energy, or just a smile.  Music is often how He moves me and through music He shared with me today as I was lost in my own troubles, so I wanted to in turn share with you...


"You're not alone for I am here let me wipe away every fear, my love I've never left your side, I have seen you through the darkest night and I'm the one that's loved you all your life.. "



This is His promise to each of us, and after His reassurance of His ever present help He preceded to gently remind me why I am here...


"They took the heart of a little girl and made it grow up too fast ... Those damaged goods they see in their reflection, Love sees them differently, Love sees perfection, this is a song for the broken girl the one pushed aside by the cold, cold world ... now be amazed by how Grace can take a broken girl and put her back together again"  ~ Matthew West


Every word in this song speaks of the hearts and souls of the broken girls I try desperately to love each day here and the ever pressing call we all have to love.


Ciao Bella.
