In Christ alone...

Shanti Burman (name changed) had been advised hysterectomy by a gynaeclogist in the city for DUB but wanted it done in our hospital.She was an obese lady ,I was a little reluctant but anyways went ahead with it.
Needless to say it was a difficult hysterectomy.It felt like working in a well.
Halfway through there was a bladder injury but we repaired it and kept a catheter on .
I had to go for my annual leave.My junior for some reason removed the catheter.The senior sister ,when she came for rounds found her leaking urine so she immediately catheterised her.I was away for a fortnight so when I reached back she gave me the ominous news that the patient had developed VVF.I was greatly disturbed to hear this.However when I went for my prayer,a peace that passeth all understanding came over me.I continued to carry that peace with me even as we saw Shanti Burman through the dressing for her abdominal wound which was taking it's time healing each time we used to find her pad partially wet.
She was to keep the catheter for six weeks.
We all were praying for a supernatural healing for her .
One day I sent in this email.
Please pray victory and perfect healing for two patients I did an abdominal hysterectomy on.One of them has developed a vvf and we are waiting in faith for the Lord to heal her in the next three weeks.
Thanks.
Dr Chering.
I plain forgot about it.
On the evening of 5th April I happened to saunter into the hospital at around 11.30 PM and I saw a car standing outside the emergency.When I asked the chowkidaar if there was a patient he said it is just a patient  come for a catheter change.When I asked who ?,he said Shanti Burman.My antennae was up and I immediately went to the casualty.She was lying on the bed and she insisted we remove the catheter because she had no need for it.She had suddenly had a severe urge to micturate and the bladder had felt full.She had screamed in pain at home and had sat on the floor and had emptied her bladder inspite of the catheter.I checked her catheter,it was draining urine.I counselled her for bit,puzzled.Changed her catheter but she refused to put a pad.
Next morning I opened my mail I had received this mail.

From that day onwards we continued to thank the Lord for the miraculous healing.The lady seemed very firm in the fact that she did not need the pad or the catheter but we humbly requested her to keep the catheter on for six weeks.In the meantime staffs in different ways ministered to her and her son.
The day before yesterday we removed her catheter.There has been no complaint.We continue to thank the Lord for the victory ,restoration and healing that is there in Christ alone.

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...
