It has been really funny. Since being here in Dubai with my family (all but my sister) it has happened more than once that I go to talk about something and the person I am talking to by some miracle has in depth knowledge into my life and story. For a split second my mind goes "wow how can they know that? Brilliant!!" then they mention reading about it in a blog post. hahaha
Oh silly Heena!!!
It was neat though, the first day I was here I found my self in a very familiar setting in a not so familiar place. I wondered around my parents villa and found my dad in the garage tinkering. I sit down on that familiar stool surrounded by wood projects and tools laid about. My dad then starts telling me about his plans and different projects and the outrageous prices he has to pay for wood here.
He then stops his project and starts asking me about what my next steps are in Boise, and about my life. It was really intersting how all of my conversations about where I am these days end about the same. The person I am talking to (who I really respect) always has the same encouraging advice and words to give me. recently I have getting a affirming response from people. They tell me that I am doing the right thing for my time in life. I have been terribly torn recently between the pressure to go to University and get a degree and what not all the while my heart longs for something else. My heart longs to be loving people and be in broken places bringing healing. The people I have been talking to, the ones who know my heart and know me, all seem to support my hearts longing.
My biggest concern is funding and support to so these things, and people I am talking to (at soaking prayer and my friends and dad) all are giving me the same assurance that I don't need to worry about it because God will be taking care of it.
So once again, a ridiculous amount of encouragement and affirmation.
I'm not even sure why I am typing this. Possibly because it is 5:33am here and the house is very quiet.
