You know how people say be careful for what you wish for...
late last night, John calls me into the computer room and says, "T, come here, you aren't going to believe this!" In his "In box" is an email from a man we met while in Kolkata, India from an organization we felt very passionate about. While in Kolkata, John helped the man with some wiring and computer issues. The man, in passing, mentioned that he needed an I-T guy to do an internship. We spoke with Don (the man) breifly, me mentioning I was a teacher but that was all. We left...we left Kolkata and dusted its dirty dust from our feet. Good ridence! Never would we return to this place!
Now, we get an email from Don, telling John that he would be perfect for the IT internship and that I would be perfect for working in the after care facility. He implores us to pray about it, telling us since we already have been to Kolkata, we even know the city!
Now, this is the ironic thing that immediatly came to my head after reading this email....I am constantly complaining about how I wish God would just send me an email telling me what he wanted me to do. Now is this email really God ordained? I don't know what to think. All I know is that John says he needs to stop saying he's done with a place for good (like he said about Michigan when he graduated and then found himself following me back there...) Isn't this how God works though...he does have a sense of humor I'm sure. Doesn't he put you in places where you are least comfortable...places you couldn't handle alone? I don't know what to think. We told God...I Told God...that I am willing to go and do whatever for Him...but Kolkata! Does he want us to pick up and leave everything...what about our house, and cats, and schooling, and jobs, and family...it is scary yet if this is what he truly desires, I will go. All I can do is pray that somehow doors open that lead to this if this is truly what he wants...
