Why?

"Why did you move to Ontario, anyway?", A friend asked me yesterday.

So many answers flooded into my mind. Varun got a job here. It's closer to my parents and Varun's sister. The west coast was too rainy. God called us here. We missed good pizza and bagels.

On July 23, when Varun got his job in Ontario, we were moving because that's where he found employment. And yet, even then, before we knew where we would live, what I would do or who are friends would be, we sensed God's hand moving. In fact, the week before Varun got a job we both began to have a sense of peace, and a surety that things were soon to change.

And change they did.

In Ontario, we have tons of friends from South Asia. We prayed before we moved that God would give us the opportunity to share our faith and discern if He's calling us to India. Since moving here, we have met more and more Indians and have had really exciting opportunities with them.

Why did God bring us here? I'm still not totally sure, and I imagine that over the next years the answer will become more and more clear. I do know that God DID lead us here, and prepared friendships, opportunities to share our faith and many joys for us to experience in Ontario.

Please pray for boldness and discernment!
