Rolling down the river....






It has been a thoughtful month.I had the privellage to visit the Asha Kiran Hospital I had heard much about all my formative years.It is a paradise wilfully built with a clear vision and a commitment to serve the people in the area.I can only imagine what it must have been like in the beginning.Just obedient people casting nets in faith to the way beyond.It stands as a testimony ofGod’s faithfulness .
Dr Varghese Philip one of the founders was there to speak into our lives.A man of few words ,listened much,spoke little but powerful and apt lesson into our lives.The words he has spoken in the past has served me personally as guiding stones in the better part of the three decades of my life in missions.I am much thankful to God for that.
I also had the privellage to interact with DrSantosh after a gap of almost five years.
Another big bonus of making that journey was to catchup with old friends like Sheba and Andy,Victor and Sarah.Victor with his extensive experience of administration had some pertinant tips to give us.
In my return journey Victor kindly arranged for my stay at Dr Sukumar and Veena’s  house.I was much taken aback by what he had to share about the EMF I group meeting at his house.They kindly took me for a drive through Vishakapatnam after dinner which was overwhelming to say the least
I come back with the realisation that  I need to  organise myself better.
Once back in the campus my tummy went for a spin and  Iwalked  around for three days with a feeling of someone punching my epigastric region.
A days casual leave,a Sunday at hand peppered with a light call seems to have served as medicine of sorts.My tummy seems to be on the mend.Ifeelmore ready to face the world tomorrow.
My youngest but one niece delivered a beautiful girl child in faraway Sydney.River Lawrence Rose.With that I have taken a leap into another generation.Life seems to be rolling on ....a full circle...circle of life.

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...
