Hi my dear ones,
My DTS is almost over and I realized I haven't updated my blog for many weeks now.
I am really sorry for that!
So where to begin..hmm.. Since last time I wrote, we've had many speakers coming in and sharing some pretty amazing stuff with my school. But I guess what I would like to share with you is what's been on my mind lately..
There's actually been a lot on my mind lately so it will be really hard to tell you about everything!
I have been here for 3 months now, and let me tell you, it has been probably the most important 3 months in my life and I know for a fact that these next 2 months in India and Nepal will be life changing. I know that I will come back as a different person, I know I will not be able to look back on my life and say I want to continue to do what I used to do! I know and I expect a change in my life, from God. A Change in my dreams that were mine, but now belong to Him just like my life.
I have come to a conclusion that my life was never mine to begin with, but because I have had the free will, I have decided to make a lot of the decisions on my own and that's why I have made a lot of mistakes as well! But now being here and learning that, we really need to surrend our lives to Christ so that He could take control in our lives. So that we would let Him use our lives to change the world by starting with ourselves. Because you see, we cannot change or understand the world unless we understand ourselves, us in God. How can I tell the world who they are, if I don't even understand who I am? I need to know who I am in God, I need to know that I am his child, his beloved, His, before I can make a difference in the world. And God doesn't want me to just help people, He wants them to be changed forever. He wants them back, so it is not enough when I try to help them, because when I just help them, I help them to continue the way they have been living, but if we are able to change their lives and by changing I mean lead them to God and letting Him do His part (restore them), we are able to get them out of this mess. And why does God need us? Without God man cannot do, and without men God will not do! We are his tools, we are His to be used in this world. God has called us, me and you to be His extended hands and feet in going to places and reaching the unreached. It might mean you are called to your hometown to the ones who have heard about God, but have never met Jesus. To reach the students, elders, homeless, jobless etc in your own city or your neighbour cities. I am not sure what my calling is exactly, but I know I have a calling. There is something in me that breaks every time I hear stories about kids in different countries, girls in human trafficking, so I believe I have jet to discover my calling, but I already know my destiny, it is God, right here, right now!
Hearing this I hope you have a bit clearer picture of what God has been teaching me!
Now it is time for me to serve his people, put everything I have learned into actions and reach the fatherless in Nepal and India. Now it is time for me to go!
Don't you think that this is it, no more posts, I still have 2months in Nepal and India, to tell you all the great things God is doing in these nations, in me, through me! There is more to come!! This is not the end, not yet! So bare with me !
And thank you all who have been with me throughout the DTS time, praying for me, thinking about me, helping me with finances. I hope this will speak to your hearts!
This is from my heart to yours,
Love you all,
Liis
