Love of People

June 7: Posted by Feelup (as they say in Europe or in NYC),

Talking, eating, talking, tea, walking and walking, talking. This has been my last week. I have had the amazing opportunities to talk and meet some amazing Indian Muslims. As I have sat and listened to their stories of coming here to America, or growing up here in America I have really been challenged. The people we have been talking to are some of the most dynamic and caring people I have met. I have been seeing such amazing traits in the different Indians I have been talking to. As I have been interacting with different Muslims and going to different mosques my heart has been growing for those I have been interacting with. Seriously, if you ever meet an Indian Muslim.. sit and talk, you are in for a treat, they will most likely feed you, give you tea or coffee and bless you with stories of their lives and thoughts about God and life. I regret having to leave so soon... there are many friendships that have begun that I wish I could continue; sometimes it is through loving friendships that Christ can be seen the clearest.

Who knew that New York City was such a mix of people? I never realized that I would hear other languages more often than I heard English, or would meet more people from other countries than I do from the United States. It is quite the place to be I must say. Sure it is hard having noise all the time, but at the same time it is great to be having diversity all the time. O how the Lord loves diversity, as I have been thinking about this truth more and more it has taken a new meaning for me here in New York City. The Love of God is here. Praise Jesus.

O, and the New York Public Library is a good place to write; I tell you, your IQ goes up at least 100 points by just sitting in this aparatus of knowedge. I think Indian Jones was filmed here.
