Orange juice and lemon..

These are strange times.People seem to be crumbling like a pack of cards.Everyday we open the television to hear the news with some trepidation.

We do it just once a day.I have sort of got into the routine of doing my chores in the kitchen.I am getting a taste of the farm life but can also slowly feel myself getting fitter by Gods grace.

I baked a lemon curd cake today for Marty’s birthday.Martin is my nephew in faraway Australia..I am trying to perfect the art of baking a cake and I seem to be getting there after so many hits and misses.

We are also hit by onslaught of memes which keep us laughing...

The architecture of the trees have always fascinated me and today I was introduced to Chinese teak by my mother.There are beautiful butterflies dancing all over the place.

I am so grateful to God for this time at home.I realise that the whole thing has been timed in such a way that it could only be by God’s immense grace in my life.

Had I not been home,my parents would have been worried sick.I would have been worried sick about the family also .I would have missed my dad’s 90th birthday on the 9th of April and I would have missed celebrating Easter at home.

With another dozen days to go I am ready mentally to get back to work.My hunch is we are just about to hit the high as far as covid cases are concerned.

Everyone seems frightened about covid but the fact remains that ‘.....our time is in His hands..’

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...
