Losing Interest in the power of this World

Since my last post I have lost a great deal of interest in the government. The loss of interest in due to multiple events and thoughts over the past few months (books and mission trips tend to change your perspectives).
Just before I went to Nepal in October of 2009, I had almost become consumed with the political schemes of America. Admittingly I was obsessed over ideas and concepts that at the time made me angry and worrisome. Much has changed since Nepal.
I got to spend time with an amazing man who loves his congregation, orphans, and the lost. His name is Babu. He trains pastors and runs an orphanage. He adopted a street baby, named Sweetie. I got to play tea with Sweetie while visiting. Being in Babu's house/orphanage brought joy to my heart. I was apart of something God is doing on the other side of this world. God blessed me with that trip to begin to open my eyes to something more grand than I would have ever imagined. (I will be writing about what God is doing now in my life.)
Nepal in a since changed me, only for the better though. God reminded me of my passion for him and what he is doing in the world. He is the sovereign God of the universe. He is not worried with governments. He establishes kings and takes down kings. My King is the one who put little kings and presidents into power. So to say the least: what is going on in America does not consume my thoughts as it once did. I still think of the political schemes of this world because they are unavoidably posted on the web and things like that. But they are no longer an all consuming endeavor for myself.
I am glad that I went to Nepal and hope to go back some day. I have been out of touch with Babu and will email him soon. Pray for his orphanage and the boys and girls there. The militant Hindus and Buddhists do not like the work of God. When the Kingdom of God is being established in this world the principalities of this world make significant attempts to stop it. Nepal challenged me to live in such a way that I am apart of establishing the Kingdom of God not making rants about my political angel in order to be continually focused on the things of this world.
While in Nepal I got to speak at a Christian conference. Amazingly almost two thousand people packed a hall to hear the Word of God preached. There was now air conditioning, not cold water, and no chairs. There was a deep desire to hear God's word proclaimed. There was a deep desire to worship the One True God of the Universe. I also got to encourage pastors while I was there. I could not believe this because I am hardly qualified, if qualified at all, to be encouraging pastors. It was amazing though.
God is good, gracious and kind to my family. The Nepal trip only affirmed that and affirmed God's work in my life. May He keep it up as the days pass. Stay tuned for updates on what God does with this willing and obedient (most of the time) servant.
