Happy mmmmm!

I tell my friend I am in my own world,deliriously happy.
The first thing he asks me is are you in love?
Strange!
I have been doing my own little things being sinfully selfish indulging myself in small things that give me immense happiness.
I bought myself some lamp-shades,one in particular was after my own heart.I was all over Birganj,Ranchi and DTO on the lookout and as it always happens I come across this small shop in the by-lanes of Kolkotta that says 'Lamp-shades' and sells only lamp-shades.It was there in all hues, colours and materials.Paper,silk and satin.
Amazing ,and I thought shops like that had stopped existing.
The other thing that has happened is I have re-discovered my love for music and writing.My home theatre system which was a gift from my cousin is being used to the maximum and I discovered this collection of MP3 which took me back to my growing up years..some favourites from dire-straits,cat stevens,Eric clapton,Smokie....remembered my older siblings playing them at home and us the impressionable youngsters soaking it into the sub-concious...I guess that is why I find myself smiling to myself even as I humm along .
I have also been spending more time with my guitar...dreaming of playing the way the guys do-this is a little far-fetched but it is a dream nevertheless.
Connected and caught up with some old friends..exchanging recipes ..latest being one on wine-making-my fridge is conked off so I guess I'll use it as a make-shift cellar.
You take grapes,crush it in a mixer-add sugar ,a spoon of wheat flake and another spoon of rice flake-keep it in an air-tight container for a week-stir it and seive it through a muslin cloth-and there bingo is your wine.Although I remember my mom making it a little differently.
I am off off to the AGM next week-its in Ramgarh,Jim Corbett Park.Need to get a 'save the tiger'tee for my little neice and my brother who is a total environmental freak.The other day my mom was after some insects with an insecticide spray and was lectured as to how the dead insects could be eaten by the birds and the birds die...mom being a die-hard fan has chucked everthing that could even remotely tilt the nature's balance.
The light's gone.
more next time..

Image of Christ.

 There is nothing more scarier than a heart that has hardened .I was talking to Mary the other day,infact weeping with her There is a deep restlessnessness inside.Thank God for it becuase it shows that I have not resigned myself to the way things are.I was telling her I miss the deep experience of seeing the image of Christ and the compassion of the Holy spirit which just used to overwhelm  my heart when I saw the image of Christ in people ,situation and the creation. What is the image of Christ?It is a body marred and maimed to bear the sin of the world.it is a voice that did not speak in protest against God the father,who actually planned it all before the creation of the world,not against the people who maimed Him ,flogged Him,drove the nails into His hands and feet to satisfy their sinful nature.The image of Christ is a body broken  to the utmost yet given to feed the very same people .It is a love that did not count the cost. I am a person who does not put too much v...

Feet in the water.

  Fifteen days of earned leave after working for two years,I was praying in a house group prayer and worship and pleading with the Lord to show me something ,when it was not forthcoming I surrendered to the Lord and prayed let your will be done and then I saw the Lord walking up a winding road and deep in my spirit I knew He was calling me to follow Him .I did not know where to but I thanked the Lord and said yes. I have been living more in the unseen world than the seen world. Suddenly out of the blue I received a message from Dr Arpit asking me to replace them in Madhipura  for a  fortnight. I needed to go because things were getting a little intense and I needed sometime to step back and mull some things over. I had no idea why the Lord was taking me back to the old world of EHA , mission hospitals and friends from the yore. Travelling to Madhipura , I  continnued to ask the Lord, 'Why this road? I had no idea why I was going  where I was going.I am glad I ca...

Thankyou Lord for the year that was.

 It has been sometime since I have blogged. I don't even remember how the whole of last year passed. While sitting for the prayer meeting with the ladies I suddenly realised that the last year I had broken so many barriers. Things I had cried to the Lord in prayer had come to pass quietly but surely. It has not been without drama but it was through sheer resolve and daily consecratiom  I walked the steps I never thought I could. I learnt to drive for one and then towards the last week had the distinction of breaking the panes of the car while backing. It hit the wall. Thank-fully no one was hurt. My wonderful family just said ,'It Happens'. This year I adopted a male pig and a female pig .I sold the last year's pig for fourteen grands and five hundred.I  brought some brick to try and build an apartment but since the leading from the Lord was not to invest I invested the money in my eternal home I thank God for that. Towards the year end I got the privellage to help Kanc...
