a large gap

I didn't know whether you knew this but for a plant to grow, a seed has to die (says so in the bible John 12:24 http://bible.cc/john/12-24.htm ) and did you know that if you break a bone in your body, when it heals, it is stronger than it was before. It just goes to show that to get something good, sometimes we have to go something painful or confusing... I mean if you ever thought that to grow a plant, a seed would have to actually die, that just doesn't make any sense, surely if you wanted to grow something it would have to begin life being alive?!
This is just how God created nature to work, so why do we find it difficult to understand that God is so much greater than nature and therefore so much more confusing!

' For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.' Isaiah 55:8&9

Right, not wanting to sound heretical or anything, but we have just put a rocket up into space that is going to travel to Pluto to find out whether it can be classed as an actual planet or not http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4629486.stm
well, in January it went, but if we can go that far, which will take us about 10 years to reach going at a great speed, then surely the heavens are further above than that distance (this is a guess, because as we all know we cannot see the heavens just yet) but it is every possibility that it is so much further (humour me on this!) So, if God's ways are so much higher than our own, how are we ever going to understand Him?

I never thought in a million years that I would actually be going to India this september! If anything I would have bet a lot of money that I would probably have never gone to India (although I really wanted to when I was younger) But now I'm going, and I'm excited to see what God is going to do through me over there. We go to these places to try and help others in their poverty or whatever, but more often than not, the people who change are ourselves.

I really feel that God wants me to go, because when praying about it, I asked that it would go smoothly, and that I would be able to get the money together etc, and so far it's looking good.

I just need to ask for prayer about my health and safety when me and Craig are over there.
