Salaam!  Greetings from the Middle East!

Today I saw the pyramids and rode a camel named M.O.S.E.S.  He is the best camel ever, and I will debate you on that!

My time in Egypt has been challenging, encouraging, refreshing, and emotional. 

January was packed with…

-Reading the “Bible”, “Simple Spirituality”, and “Making Poverty Personal - Taking the Poor as Serious as the Bible Does.”

-Answering the question, “What truths does God give us [through the Bible] to combat poverty and how do we NOW apply those principles to make poverty history? [A photo video is in the making.]

-Interviewing the founder of Art For Community [an arts program with street children]

-Meeting and encouraging the photography branch of Art for Community

-Visiting the pyramids!

-Continuing to learn how to live in community

-Eating falafels and then eating more falafels - Y.U.M. [Maybe too many and need to start a “falafel-free diet”? hmmm…]

-Discussing how art can combat poverty and what my role is [Art Center of sorts?]

-Catching up with my leader, Paul, who visited from Kona.

I travel north Sunday and will be moving non-stop through the end of February.  “On the road again…”

Ways to pray:

-Sore back and neck

-Peaceful, deep, and lovely dream filled sleep

-Money [Currently receiving $275/mnth out of $1,800/mnth - still needing $1,525]

-Opportunities to pick the brains of more people in the art/injustice field

-Peace when the future seems unknown, scary, and a big black hole

-Insight as to what my extended time in Central Asia will look like [Brainstorming ideas to stay in India a bit longer - talking ideas over with Paul]

-Constant community living = learning to LOVE in word and deed

-Insight/wisdom as I communicate/speak into lives of my friends

Thank you for believing that what I do is impacting lives.  My heart always knows the truth but moments filled with lies to try to tell me otherwise.  The road “feels” lonely at times…

Until I think YOU and realize, I am not crazy…Well, crazy, maybe but following HIS leading - yes.

Go to MY BLOG for more stories and photos of my journey!

Going because He told me to and not looking back or too far into the future, but taking one day at a time because otherwise I would have a panic attack.

Yes, that’s me - Lindsay.
