no go for Jordan
Just a quick little update...
I'm not going to Jordan anymore because I found out that the flight was going to be mucho too costly (to go from Jordan back to Vancouver). But that's okay that it didn't work out. I trust that God has a bigger and better plan for me--not necessarily a different country to go to, but there is definitely some reason why it didn't work out. It will be nice to fly back home with the rest of the team and it's also nice not having to dish out the extra money for the trip, so it's all good. And maybe I'll get to go to Jordan another time in my life!
It's strange having only 12 days left here. We went to our church for the last time yesterday which was sad. The hardest part was saying goodbye to the girls to whom I've been teaching English. One of them in particular, one of the girls who has a terminal illness, just wouldn't let go of me. She'd say, "No Beth didi, you stay here in India. You not go...... Okay, you come back? Jesus, I pray that Beth didi will come back. I like Beth didi." So sweet, but wow, that one was hard. I really will miss the people here. I'll keep them up in prayer, although that's not always as easily done as it is to say it. A new challenge for myself--yes!!
Other than that, I'm still running my mind about what to do when I get home. I've been challenged recently to dream big dreams...even bigger than what we think is big. I really want to pick up the dreams that I've laid down in my life--I mean, if I really believe that nothing is impossible for God, then I need to live my life that way, even if it hurts sometimes. So I've been praying more about the stunt business and how/if God wants me to pursue that. It makes me excited! So we'll see....
Well I'd better be going. Tomorrow's Jen's birthday so we're planning a nice day for her.
Many blessings friends and fam,
Beth

stunts, eh? I happen to work right next to Lion's Gate Studios, where half my customers are in the film business, some of whom do stunts (for example, the movie "300" that recently came out). I'm sure I could help find connections for you if you needed some!
