Tomorrow
evening I will depart for a two-week adventure in India. The documentary project I'm
associated with, Friendly Captivity,
will follow six other women and me from Texas
to Mumbai, Igatpuri, Chennai, and Trivandrum,
as we take in the color, culture, and challenges of our Indian sisters.
Important to the film makers is not the impact we have on those we meet but how
these women, so different from us, make an impact on our lives and the way we
see our world.
Would you
like to share my experiences with me?
Providing
that the technology works, you can follow me via Twitter on this wonderful
adventure. Along with a photo, I will send three to four very short messages
(the program limits me to 140 characters per entry), every day. These messages
are sent and received almost immediately.
If you
currently Twitter or would like to receive my "tweets" automatically, my ID is www.twitter.com/ellen_miller .
If you're like me and last thing you need is more email, you can simply visit
my website and click on the Twitter logo at the top of my home page at www.ellenmiller.comEither way, the service is free.
To live intentionally
we must sometimes take a step out of our comfort zone and for this camera-shy
blogger - I'm taking one giant step outside mine. . . and into another
world.I am most fortunate to have been
chosen to share this experience with six total strangers (who will soon become
my newest girlfriends) but I won't leave you if you'd like to come, too!
So, if
you'd like to journey with me (without the fear of malaria, food poisoning, or
sunburn), follow my "tweets". Otherwise,
I will be back blogging to you on Tuesday, October 28, 2008.
Stepping
out,
Ellen

Ellen, I'm so excited for you to have this experience in India. It will change your life! I'll be praying that God does all that he wants to through your life on this trip. Can't wait to get your comments every day.

What an adventure; I'll be looking for your "tweets" and will pray for protection for you all. I work for a mission's office at our church in Denton and have friends in India. You'll be changed by this experience!
