don't tell anyone but i skipped out of church today to sit with a couple of friends in the sun. we were talking about our siblings and when it came to puja's turn she seemed hesitant...
she said, didn't i tell you my story?
no, i replied.
she began to share about when her mother was pregnant with her, she was given an ultimatum - if this baby is a girl you have no place in my house unless you get rid of it. if it is a boy you may stay. well, puja was born and her mother left her as a newborn in an orphanage. she said, i have no mother, no father, no brother, no sister and no husband - just my 2 children. and i have you, elisa and my family here at church who are brothers and sisters to me.
you see, one month ago i was walking with her and 3 other ladies. i was so caught up with being with friends...sisters exploring the forgotten streets of kathmandu...laughing and holding hands. i looked at each one of them and told them i had always wanted sisters and here i have found it.
she never forgot my claim. neither will i.

I thought after reading 'women - part 1' that I had finished crying,....God had other plans!
So beautiful!!!
Hey Elisa...can you post pictures of your place? We'd love to see where you live...what kind of home you have there!
Oh Elisa, how beautiful. What wondrous beautiful stories you & Rod are sharing. Don't stop sharing, don't stop serving, and most importantly, don't stop the visions of God/Christ in these amazing people.
