…this phrase normally ends up on my WhatsApp, and most of the time it would be one of my friends that’s in India to play in the IPL. (Well these days, you just need a Smartphone and Wi-Fi and you can keep your number.)
Going to India has always been high up on my bucket-list. It makes sense since my dream life consists of traveling, writing books and watching cricket!!
India is so much more than cricket though. I watched the movie “Water” about six years ago when I still lived in Huis Mc Donald (A senior residence at Stellenbosch University). End of last year I had the honour to watch the movie "Water" again with my friends and share some of my heart for the country and its people with them. You can find the
movie at De Boord in Stellenbosch if you want to watch it. I will refrain from saying anything more about the movie but trust me, It’s a must watch…
Back in 2012 when Ilana and I contemplated on going oversees it was a toss-up between Peru and India. Then the Lord spoke
and sent me off to Peru. In obedience I thus went to Peru which will always be one of the most unforgettable experiences of my
life.
I tried many ways to get to India; unsuccessfully.
Last year without trying or contemplating on going to India for that year, the Lord opened a door for me to see and experience this amazing country!! My hearts desire were once more met!! The Lord has funny ways of meeting our desires, mostly it happened when we just rest in Him.
During one of my data collection sessions for my PhD I met a few people that were on their way to India. I asked to join them, in good old Bianca style; ready to grab an opportunity, and they said yes!!
So on Tuesday, 17 December 2013, I was off to India for three weeks. At that time I was not really sure what I was going to do in India or what to expect from this journey!! Bring on the adventure, and indeed it was an adventure.
I was excited to say "Here is my India number" !! But thanks to my Samsung S4, It was not necessary :)
Watch this space for stories from India!! It was challenging in more than one way, but it was fun and a real adventure!!
I cannot wait to go back and watch the IPL and learn more about the people and their culture.
Psalm 37: 4
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Whatever is in your heart, it is not impossible for the Lord to make it happen!!
Dream big; surrender those dreams and actively wait for it to come to pass.
It’s an incomprehensible formula...
