INDIA THE JOURNEY PART IV

Entrusting My Words to the Holy Spirit

Linda Mary Liotino

It is now 46 more days until my departure for India and it is a time of great anticipation and a time of good byes.  My heart is in a tug and pull state.  I have in place to those near and dear to my heart especially a network for phone calls and daily emails.

Ever since I made this decision to go to India I knew who was calling me there my Lord.  My life in all that it is and all I have gone through has prepared me for the life altering journey.  Our Lord calling me to the plight of the Unborn in devoting completely all that I have at Easter 2008 started me on this journey to not only the Unborn but he has broaden my vision to all suffering children.  He then narrow the vision to India and then to Chennai.  I am assured of this calling for he continues to strengthen me physically and preparing me spiritually and mentally.   The valued gift and lesson He teaches me is to trust Him completely, rely on Him for all things, and entrust everything to Him.  It is in this I move and breath and I am.

I move to India as a novice to everything or anything about India.  Everything I do will be a first down to Indian cuisine.   I do not leave here in a fantasy world of excitement for there is allot for me to learn about India.  There will be many adjustments I will be making and living life in a culture very foreign to me.   However, with that being said I am not daunted or concerned for I truly believe because God has called me to India that He will provide all the needed graces and blessings so that His mission in me will be realized.

My thoughts and prayers centers around the calling and the children whatever God’s plan is in its totality He is assured of my YES.  I am given snippets in visions of what is to be in a broad sense.  I know in my heart the children I will devote my life to are already waiting for me…God has picked them out already.  My vision at one one time was seeing only one home I now find myself praying for home [s] for the children not by my decision but God’s way of letting me see His vision.

The month of August will be devoted to good byes, packing and last minute instructions.  My last doctor appointment is on the 29th of this month and my grandson’s adoption will be finalized on September 3rd three days before I leave.   My final decision on what I am taking besides clothing is fixed and it looks like I will be in the weight limit allotted me.

May the Hearts of Jesus and Mary Bless You!
