"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight." (Prov 3:5-6)
Right now I'm writing a lesson plan on Thermodynamics. Earlier today I was reading about philosophy and Christian apologetics. Last week I was studying Keynesian and Demand/Supply-Side Economics and making a silly video on Economics in One Lesson.
I think I've spent 85% of my time in the last 3 weeks inside our house. I forget that I live in India during these times. It's really sad.
But on Sunday night, I get to speak at a local Bible School's chapel service (funny, the school is called "ANTS" - i forgot what it stands for...so all I can think of is the Ben Stiller movie Zoolander..."what is this? a reading center for ants?!" haha!). ANYWAY. Honestly, I feel incredibly inadequate and intimidated. Who am I to speak about youth ministry (Young Life), when I'm locked up in a room all day, feeling incredibly "ineffective?"
Maybe because God wants me to understand pre-calculus so I can help a high school girl who I met recently named Priya with her math homework. Maybe God is teaching me about true discipleship through Victoria (during his ministry, Jesus spent most of his time with 12 guys, not 12,000). Maybe God is growing my patience and trust in His plan and not my own. Maybe it's because God wants to be strong in my weakness.
I think He gets a lot more glory that way...when our lives are dependent on His power and faithfulness, not our own plans/glory.
Please pray for me on Sunday (I'll be speaking on incarnational ministry - Jesus being the example of meeting us where we are b/c of our inability to get to Him), and pray that God would send workers to the youth of Siliguri, India (Matthew 9:37). They are desperately searching for something bigger to live for, an answer to life's questions.

You will do well. I am (as are so many) proud of you and the tasks that you have undertaken. God will lead you.
