well, after wondering through the twilight zone of airports and delayed/missed/canceled flights for three days...i'm back in kolkata. its good and hard to be back. with the memories of my beloved friends and family fresh on my mind.
but i'm also excited for all that awaits me here. with my team coming in 10 days i have quite a lot to do before their big welcome.
there is also a painful amount of things going on at sari bari, most of what i will wait to expand on. but i will say this, please pray for our ladies. we are seeing some of our friends reacting out of their fear and brokenness and as a result they have left. please pray for God's softening in their hearts and minds, and for their brokenness to be mended, and that freedom can still be realized in their lives. this news has still not fully sunk in, it is quite sad. what can we do. we must pray.
more reflection to come.
for now, i'm going to finish tackling the unpacking burden that's spread across my room!
peace.

Praying.
dear beth,
i am praying for you and for the ladies. i have been reading a book today called caring enough to confront. it talks about how often when we feel anxious we quickly become angry because for some reason that feels easier and more comfortable. i pray for the ladies that they will be able to work through the anger and hurt that would cause them to walk away from freedom.
i pray for you too- that you would know that god loves you as you are.
with love,
amanda
thanks so much amanda. my prayer is that God's love will be highlighted through all of this.
love,
beth
