Status Updates From Gold Cord

Probablemente de los libros que más me están cambiando la vida. No es leer, es escuchar la experiencia de vida de una mujer que, habiéndose entregado al cuidado de niños abusados física, emocional y sexualmente, agradece y alaba al Dios tierno y justo que ha estado en cada una de esas habitaciones. Sería más agradable un camino de rosas, pero para verlas de cerca hay que sujetar sus espinas.

I read A Chance to Die as a teen and it was so spiritually formative for me, so it was sweet to spend time in this setting again. Prayer is a huge theme in this book--I noticed how often the Dohnavur Fellowship was led to pray for specific things. I don't tend to think of prayer in this way, as listening for God's guidance on what to ask Him for, and it's caused me to reflect more on how He uses prayer in our lives.
