Plans for the New Year...2010, ready or not, here I come!

I had an amazing Christmas....Sheeba is doing really really well. She is a wonderful hostess and I love spending time with her. Here are my plans: my friend Carol is coming on Jan 1 and we will go to Dharamsala for 2 days and then maybe Amritsar if we have time. Then I want to go up to Himachal Pradesh where I met this guy Pradeep Paul through Facebook and he said there is a guest house there I could stay. I will stay for a few days and if it is really nice, a week, and then come see you guys in Dhera Dune. I want to stay there for a week, see you guys, meet Shobith's mom, and roam around for a bit, and then I want to come with you to Orissa! Please tell me when your parents will come to pick you up! Ideally, it would be best if they were coming around Jan 21st....

Jan 1-3: Dharamsala with Carol Scott
Jan 4-5: Amritsar with Carol Scott (she returns to Delhi and then flies to Mumbai)
Jan 6-13: Manali, Himachal Pradesh with Pradeep Paul
Jan 14-21: Dhera Dune, with Shanu, Rani and meet Sho's mom & family
Jan 22-28: Orissa with Rani & her parents
Feb 1-Feb 15: Kerala-meet Aneesh and Dany?
Feb 17-28: Bangalore, then ????


So, as Sheeba and Sho have been advising me, I finally....made my tenative plans. Let me know what you all think, and if you have contacts in any of these places, I am up for staying with friends and YWAM bases.

Please pray for my safety, with people, transportation, doing God's will and being an awesome witness to strangers and friends.... pray that 2010 has even bigger breakthroughs than 2009!

My phone number in Punjab and good books to read

Christmas continues to be very nice here in Pathankot, Punjab. You can call me at Sheeba's (91) 018622 31910. (91) is India's national code. I am in total awe that it will soon be the year 2010. God bless you all!

I also finished several amazing books. The Cross and The Switchblade by David Wilkerson, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell, Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin and The Heavenly Man by Brother Yun and Greg Hattaway. All are SUPER amazing. Read ALL of them!
