What a Twisted Web We Weave / 09.26.08, 12:38 PM
let me tell ya’ little story bout a man named chris, and all the people he met and how he already knew some of em.
so, ohio is really representing strong this mission year. one of my team members is from akron, his name is joe. a guy in camden knows the other Composition major at my school, and ive seen him around, he lives in troy i think. and one of the guys in i think chicago went to my school this past year. then the ultimate.
i went to india just before i came here to mission year, something i am still sifting through, and will probably write on later. but while there i met a girl named amy. thanks to the magic of facebook, i had already met amy online, she was going to be in philly for mission year. WHAT!? oh yeah, i met amy at orientation at Shishu Bhavan for the Missionaries of Charity, half way around the world.
we have city wide meets where we get together with the other three teams from the tri-state area. yesterday we were assigned prayer partners and i way be wrong, but i think i am the only guy paired with a girl, but as amy is the only girl paired with a guy. weird. i think it will be a good time. we are concerned about moving deeper into the struggle of life, and i need someone to keep me accountable on that.
its just interesting how small your world gets when your areas of focus become greater, when you move farther down the line in whatever you choose to invest your life in. im choosing to invest my life in Jesus and people that happens to take the shape of self-imposed poverty, simplicity, and self sacrifice. odd how familiar that sounds, i think i may have read it in a Book somewhere, oh well. today we will move one more click down that road.
