You are allowing God to use you powerfully, and I thank you for your example of selflessness and your devotion to Christ. Also I've been reading through the other posts on weservelivelife and LIGHT and love that you guys are trying to be so diligent in getting the work out there so we can be aware and praying. I know all the documenting can be a lot to do and that spelling and grammar and such is the last thing you want to spend time on. I'd like to offer my help as an editor, if you'd like it. The stories you are writing are powerful, and I'd hate for any of that power to be lost over people having to read a sentence twice or something...Please let me know. It would be a joy for me to stay connected with the work there and to help in some capacity. Praying for you all- Rocky,

It's so ridiculously clear the passion that God has placed in your heart to serve these children. They are truly blessed to have someone who cares so greatly for them, and I know you feel blessed to be with them as well. Your letter to Buvana was so touching and I'm sure such a torment to witness her (and so many other girls) go through those types of unimaginable injustices. You are absolutely in my prayers brother! I truly envy your life, pray for my heart ;) Rocky,

I found a link to your blog on my FB page from my friend Ellyn Hodge. Its very moving to hear about all the work there in India.

Thanks to all of you who sacrifice and give so much. Will be praying for all the projects in India. Hello. I found a link to your blog on my FB page from my friend Ellyn Hodge.

Because my own life has been blessed — I struggle with why can't everyone's be. I want there to be no pain, no suffering. But if there were none— would we ever need to search for the face of God? Would there ever be a day we would need to know his grace? Your work draws you closer to him. See what he doing in you. Thank you for sharing sure struggles, prayers and questions. You remind me even though we are to try to become more Christ like...we are human...and we can only long to love the way he loves, live the way he lives, and die the way he died. We can't fix the world but we can share how God has loved us through. We can appreciate who he puts in our lives, better then we do. No matter how awful, bad we may think it is. God asks each of us this one question— Will you love me through this life I gave you? Will you love me unconditionally as I do you. I fail daily as a mother,wife, sister and friend — it echos in my daily life. I long to want to live my life better. And days I wish it were shorter so we could all be on the other side with God. But in the mean time. I will try to love when I don't think I can. I will try to forgive when I can not. I will love God faithfully. Sharing your faith journey with others is how you are showing your love for him. Enjoy, and be in love! Rocky,
