Some Thoughts...

Crystal's comment on my post about Amy Carmichael made me think a moment. Well, many moments actually. Amy Charmichael may have had some odd quirks and things outright wrong, yes, but as Crystal said, she was a woman 100% sold out to do her Master's work.
- She was the first "white" missionary woman to wear the Indian "Sari" so her odd western clothing wouldn't distract from her ministry
- She never took "furlough" from her mission work. Believing the people she was ministering to needed her much more than friends or family back home she only went back once or twice in all her years of ministry.
- She led the way in saving hundreds, perhaps thousands of young girls from being temple prostitutes in India.

And the Lord did use her to do much good. Thanks, Crystal, for the reminder of her sacrifice to serve the King.
