It has been three years and four months (returned on 26 June 2013) since I returned from community service work in Delhi. I 'commemorated' today reminiscing God's protection over me in the very rough and harsh environment, weather and culture - a culture especially disturbing for women.
The more difficult my situation was, the more assured I was of His presence, care and love upon me. These days, I miss those days which I felt God's familiarity and communion constantly and intensely. I could never forget that one whole month which I cried every morning. Yet I had to appear at the community centre as if everything was as usual, and, thanks to God, no one noticed my puffy eyes under my glasses. And, that's too, by God's grace.
Like all sane people who go overseas, I was insurance covered, and, very grateful to God I did not have to claim a cent from my insurance. Likewise while I was in Cambodia doing community service work, God protected me and provided for me, the insurance providers of both gained from all the profits of my premium paid. Since The Lord watches over me and protects me, even in a difficult place like India, can I not trust Him for all my travels? Thus, I was very determined and convinced to rely on God for protection from any possible hiccups whenever and wherever I travelled and not on any insurance coverage. If God protected me from any harm in tough places like Cambodia and New Delhi, the same God protects me wherever I go. HALLELUJAH!
All my travels from then: Mauritius, Seoul and Jeju, Guangzhou, Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, Australia and USA, The Lord protected me.
The Lord's preeminent presence is the most lasting memory engraved in my long term memory of my stints in Cambodia and India. It has changed my life and my life is never the same. Psalm 136.
