What scares me the most sometimes when I come back from India is the moment where my heart aches a little less or when my eyes stop tearing up every time I see a picture or re-play a moment. I just want to stay in that place. I want to lay in bed and pretend to walk in places again. I still want the air to smell like a blend of tea, trash and spices. I want to marvel at the contrast of the broken buildings, and the beautiful people. I want to stay in a spot where my heart becomes so overwhelmed with a joy that I can tangibly feel it move throughout my body. I love this place - where the schedule and agenda are gone and I can quiet my plan enough to hear God’s and I become in tune enough with God that I learn to listen. It’s beautiful. In the loudest and busiest country my heart finds the greatest joy and I don’t want to become content with anything less than that.
What a sweet post to remind us how treasured are the moments we feel God's life-giving presence!
