Daffodils and cross.

Church today was at ashford baptist church.it is amazing how the church speaks into our lives.I have been struggling with issues about patience the whole of last week and the preaching was a reminder.The last few preachings have been practically very relevent.
It was the mother's day celebration at the church and there were two full jars of daffodils in the rampart .The little children were asked to come forward and give away a daffodil to every lady in the room .The little ones bounced around with the daffodils all over the place.They kept coming and giving us daffodils.I was a little embarassed because I had one too many and I kept saying I already have them and they kept saying,' you can have some more'.Last but not the least,a cute little black girl ran across the rampart ,stood in the sidewalk for sometime ,eyed me,walked to me and said,'Here you can have two of mine'and plonked two bits of daffodils on my lap.I could not help smiling.It was so very cute ,the way it was done.
The pastor stressed on the fact that when we face tiring situations ,it helps to take time between work to remember who you are and whose you are?Not that i have not heard this before but it helps to be reminded .
This week I also go through my yearly appraisell which is interesting.A very kindly senior has agreed to take me through it.
My panflute lies a little neglected this week but I like the fact it brings out a beautiful music regardless of how I play it.
The preaching today was on sanctification.
Mostly from Romans chapter 7 and 8.
The door we looked at it was through Graham Tomlin ,the bishop of Kensington's work,'Looking through the Cross.'
which ends with 'one day we will no longer feel the pull of the old self....'

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...
