A good friend of mine suggested I create a blog to document and share God's activity during my journey in Nepal this summer. I don't know that I'm the blogging type, but I'll give it a whirl.
I leave this afternoon for a new adventure in Nepal. I have few expectations other than to meet God. This trip to Nepal will be unlike any other I've taken. I've trekked through parts of this beautiful country twice before. Those are stories worth sharing at a later date! Perhaps many will enjoy those spiritual and physical adventures when I finish my book!! This trip, however, is based in Kathmandu. I wonder if the vast immensity of the Himalayas will call my name. I think I can already hear the whisper. Words cannot describe the beauty of God in these mountains.
While in Kathmandu, it is necessary to exercise a bit of discretion. It is illegal to proselytize in Nepal so identities and locations will not be mentioned. The intent and purpose of this blog is simply to share eye witness testimonies of God's work so that He might be glorified. I should have semi-regular access to internet to keep all updated.
I invite all to pray with me during the month of July. Pray that God would use me to be a light in Kathmandu. I believe hearts and minds have already been prepared. I do not know in what capacity I will serve, but I am ready to empty myself in order to be filled by Him, the One I serve. He has opened every door for this trip so I walk and pray in bold confidence knowing His glory will be revealed. It is my personal prayer to walk in deeper intimacy with my Lord so that I might be of use to Him. It is by the strength and grace of our vertical relationship that we are enabled to reach out to the horizontal.
I am departing with all that I think I need to include the Word, my journal, and some of Thomas Merton's contemplative works. It will be a long ride (2 days) before landing in Nepal! God speak, I pray and prepare me for this chapter of the book You are writing!
