Funny how you can recall a verse but not where its found... I don't like when that happens.<br /><br />Found your blog via Holt's website.

Listen, this is h...Ah, don't make me rethink going. Listen, this is how I think about it...<br /><br />I went to India on a trip for 6 weeks on a Rotary program nearly 10 years ago. My entire exchange program fell through and it could've ended up being a waste. I wound up hanging out with one of of the professors on the trip and he visited orphanages. That one trip changed the course of my life forever. Yes, Rotary spent a ton of money on me for a business trip that didn't get realized... but soooo much came from that one trip.. and you can't put a monetary value on it. <br /><br />Because of that trip... we adopted Noah. Which then led us to Eli and to Nandini. Noah's story has helped so many children with autism. If it weren't for him, I would've never found out about Sarah. Now, we're going to help Sarah. I mean, every encounter has the possibility to lead to a life changing event - for you and for someone else.<br /><br />What if one of the teens going decides to grow up and be a missionary? Or adopt a child? Or run a children's home in a third world country? What if she decides to go into medicine or occupational therapy or social work.. just from going on this trip. And then she'll have the opportunity to change hundreds, if not thousands, of lives.<br /><br />But a lot of times it takes going there and being there and breathing the air and seeing the kids and experiencing it firsthand in order for it to really sink in.<br /><br />I know you've been to India before - me, too - but not in this capacity. This is huge.<br /><br />In other words, I understand your thoughts - and I know you'll do what's best for you and Rosebud.. but, shoot, let's just say I hope you come on the trip. ;-)Recovering Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959669295237521029noreply@blogger.com
