Got Jesus?

I have had a couple of Christian friends express concern over my "finding Jesus" because "He is the ONLY one" that will help me find what I am looking for. I tried to explain that in NO WAY am I "doing this alone". I could NEVER take this journey to India tomorrow without Him. I am SO grateful for my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that it is true. I was really struggling a couple of weeks ago. So much so that I started doubting--EVERYTHING. I was in a BAD way! Ben gave me a Priesthood blessing, and I kept praying, attending the temple and reading my scriptures. I asked friends and family members to keep me in their prayers.

And it took awhile, BUT it turns out that what they say is true:

#1: AFTER the trial of your faith, come the blessings.

#2: There is OPPOSITION in all things.

#3: He DOES care.

For the past week and 1/2, I have been feeling strengthened and sustained in a way that I never thought possible. And I am SO grateful! This trip is NOT going to be easy, but hopefully it will be worth it, right?! And what a comfort to know that He will be there with me! I'm really looking forward to shutting out all outside distractions and really being with Him. What a comfort to know that my children will be taken care of, and that I will as well, and in 2 1/2 weeks, I'll be back, hopefully changed for the better! I don't profess to have found a "magical cure" to transform MYSELF... HE is recreating ME!

Have a great couple of weeks blogger friends! I doubt I will have access to technology, but I'll do my best! We fly into Delhi, stay there for 2 nights, take a 10 hour bus ride to Ranikhet, stay the night there, take a jeep into the foothills of the Himalaya's, and spend about 7-8 days there-I will not have ANY contact with the outside world, so no emergencies here in the States...okay?! Then we'll hike back out, take a jeep to Ranikhet, stay the night, and take a train back to Delhi, shower and HEAD HOME! I can't wait to tell you all about it! And I promise to take LOTS of pictures.

Please keep me in your prayers...it makes a BIG difference!

Oh yeah...and if you happen to see my children riding their bikes in the road with no helmets, playing at the park alone, or walking home from the bus stop alone, stop by the house and BEAT my husband! :)
