Mumbai Project Day Nine (April 1st)

Did not get much sleep last night. Tossed and turned. The neighbors were very loud until 2am. It is hot and humid today. Today is the only chance we have to do a little shopping, to buy some thank you gifts for our supporters and to take the Wankhede family to lunch. So I bit my upper lip and did my best. I am as sick as I can remember being.

We walked around the stalls in a resident’s market area. I picked up a few little things for my wife, mother, sister and friend Stefanie. We picked up the Wankhede family and headed to a “hotel” for lunch. It was very nice. Very Fancy and Very Expensive. Don’t think that is what Ken, Sean and I had in mind, but the family seemed to really enjoy it. The only thing that reinforced for me was how they perceive all Westerners as being ridiculously wealthy. And by comparison, we are. A nasty fleshy part of me wondered if they new how each of the team members had sacrificed to be here? But the noble part of my spirit reminded me it did not matter, be grateful, be thankful, be joyful…but the sinus infection and continuing joint problems were becoming a wonderful negative attitude adjuster…I need a fresh dose of God’s power and Love ASAP!!!

They dropped me off at the hotel and excused me from tonight services. By now they are realizing I am really sick and not just tiered from the heat…I will close this post with a prayer before starting on my sermon for tomorrow.

Father, you are so wonderful! You are sovereign! You are so Kind to me! Father, I need you now. I need you to fill my heart with supernatural love. I need your wisdom and words for the groups you have planed to gather. Please empty me completely and fill me with your Spirit so you can use me. Father, help me get out of the way. Conform my heart to yours Lord. Give me the desires of your heart.

I ask this in Jesus name. – Amen.
