These days...

After several decades we all are home at a time, sans dad.Mom had her iron infusion without any allergic reaction and also her first Epo.Solan has been teaching me driving.I,with my learner's license drive almost every evening.At times I cover a distance of around twenty five miles along the treacherous hilly terrain .I have gone through quite a bit of challenges and less than a month after getting a learner's license I am ready to go solo but my family is insistant that I take an experienced driver with me till I get my full license..On one such occasion ,while driving on my own I nearly went down the hill while backing my car.The engine had gone off  midway, so with my feet on the clutch it was functioning on  a neutral gear and the brakes refused to budge.I did not have the experience to get my feet off the gear or pull up the hand gear.By providence, there was a plank lying by the side of the road where the car gently hit and stopped.It was  nerve racking  but I learnt several hacks about driving that day.I could not tell my mother so when I mentioned it to my sister she gently said,'It happens'.I had decided to stall for a few days but Solan being the persistant and a good teacher put me to it .God bless him.

Christmas is here with all it's joys and anticipation but also with a distant ache of siblings returning back to their respective units and a world away from us.The last two years have been a crash course in growing up.We are working towards putting up the headstone in my dad's grave,after some deliberation we have decided to put up a verse from Acts where Paul and Silas after the miraculous rescue from the prison tells the jailor,'If you only believe ,you and your household will be saved'.One of my sisters who was given the responsibility has decided to write it in three languages.

In the meanwhile,I have baked the cake for the Carols on the 24th.Even managed to do an edible icing on top of it with my sisters' help.I was telling my siblings I could almost dare to draw up a bucket list now but ofcourse I am not the driver in my life boat.The last fortnight during my prayer time in the mornings one hindi song kept coming to my mind.I realised I did not know the lyrics and so could not find it on you tube.I had pushed it at the back of my mind but after almost a week when I was singing in the spirit again I was lead to the same song .It suddenly dawnwd on me that I could ask Bethsheba help me find the song and that she did.

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...
