The twins,KBC......and the spirit of God.



I spent the weekend with my favourite twins Niya and Joana,my friends from Herbertpur days when they were seven month old wonders who used to brighten up my mornings,waiting for me through the netted door even as I crashed down unto the groundfloor of my quarter in Herbertpur.One of them ,with a naughty smile used to tease me and the other used to stare at the beautiful butterflies in the garden with wonder.They always used to carry such peace on their little shoulders.They are still the same ,beautiful little ladies ,engaging ,made a lot of conversation with me.As I listened to them intelligently describe what was happening to their lives in the UK now,I just felt like I saw a walking and talking miracle.The faces of the little toddlers actually grown up by five years or so.
I had a blessed time with Sushil and Anju,sharing ,talking and just revelling in the goodness of God.

I attended the Basildon church at KBC after almost four years.There was that hard-hitting message that reduced me to tears ...spirit of God will never let us be..it gets us when people pray.
The message in the church was Mathew 25 vs 31 eloquently expressed by the pastor.
''When the son of man comes in glory.......''

When you are one in the crowd,there are noises and more noises,there are jostling,stepping on each others toes, life happens,as life should and the dust it throws up becomes the platinum dust at the back of your throat and even as life chokes ,you thirst and the thirst that it brings you ,can be satisfied only by the living water.
Mathew 25 vs 31 is a vivid picture of all that the creation is moving towards one can palpate the awe,hope and the mood of the crowd even as ''Every knee bends and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord.''
The moods in the room are-
1)Deep regret.

2)Confusion-when Christ says,'Get away from me I never knew you..'

3)Surprise-When Christ says,'Good and faithfulservant.....'

The pastor mentioned Martin of tours.
One winter morning Martin of tours saw an ill-clad beggar at the gate of the city of Amiens.Martin had no money to give the beggar ,so he cut his cloak into half and gave it to him.
That night he saw Jesus wearing that dirty cloak around him in his dream.
He had been considering christianity, he gave his life to Jesus.
'Then the righteous will answer him saying ,'Lord,when did we....?
When we look beyond people's faults and see the potential...what you have done for the very least,you did for me...'
The Lord's sheep have a healthy hump.
We need to abide in prayer,in His word and in worship.
We will see the fruit.

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 came because I could r

night-hunting.

 Monda suggested  we go  hunting. Dressed up to beat the rains and the unpredictable weather we ventured out at night with the two Dawas. Annie had baked a cake for Rumpanol.It started  pouring in spurts but nothing could beat the enthusiasm.The junior Dawa was to drive us to a place around fifteen kilometres up the north Sikkim highway.We would come across three rivulets of sort where we could possibly find the edible frog.The senior Dawa was already at the spot making a pathway in the jungle for us to proceed. We reached the spot at around eight at night.in the pitch dark one could hear the sound of frogs of all variety and we started seeing quite a few but none of edible variety.We shuffled around in the rain with an umbrella,raincoat and torches like Nancy drew exploring the grasses and having eye contacts with stunned frogs which seemed to have lost the ability to run .The two boys did a Tarzen and was lost in the jungle with a sling bag ,a torch sans any cover from the rain.While

Thank you.

 After almost five months of struggling with the nitty gritties the dialysis unit opened last week. We were able to dialyse our set of first three patients over the last few days. So much of effort,dissapointments ,struggles,joys and most importantly prayers have gone into the venture.Many who will never see the fruit of their prayers have invested their prayers into it. The day it started with many apprehension I was praying at the early morning hour and put my head on the pillow to rest and then just as I was about to sleep I saw a vision of Jesus on His knees interceding.That is how much my Lord cares for us and this morning while listening to Alistair I realised that He deals with us like a father does a five year old .That is how He sees us. Lord Jesus ,you are the crown on my head and the only thing I can take pride in.
