Yesterday i was talking about my now impending move to k-town. the question was asked, "what do you feel confident in as you prepare to move?" (great question!). 2 things came to mind immediately. first, i'm incredibly confident in this move....that Kolkata is where i WANT to be, and where God has moved my heart (this is an act of joy and obedience). second, i'm incredibly confident in my WMF community. india is hard. life weighs heavy on my heart. lots of questions about suffering, scripture, what is right, loving, good, how to respond. as i've said before, sometimes i feel like my brain is a little hamster on a wheel going round and round. so in the midst of all the uncertainty that living in kolkata is for me - i am confident of my community...that i won't be doing it alone. that the men and women there are waiting, hearts open for me to join them. what joy!
Sarah has been living working in Kolkata for a long time, and i deeply appreciate her perspective and voice (in my life personally, and in the community/work). sometimes i feel like what i'm able to share with you is just different during this year of preparation. different from my perspective when i'm in india...and i love how sarah is able to communicate "from the ground" so here's a recent blog post of her's.
