Just walking through life...!

Walking through the tea-estate behind HCH one sees the beauty of the creation against the canvas of the sky.Eskewed trees in all shapes and sizes ,each one unique,breathtakingly beautiful.All of God's creation is faultless but over the last few years trees have fascinated me to aesthetic heights.
The seasonal change of colours,the way the light falls through it at different times of the day and the different seasons of the year.
I often find myself just standing put at whatever I am doing to stare at it.
It does however provoke a few looks.Not everyone understands what I am at.
That is closest one can get to raw nature around here.Thank God,my soul would have died in a bigger city,I guess.
Even when I am home,I have this habit of taking long walks and there are lovely open spaces where one can do that.I walk a lot with my father but those are catching up times which he does with all of us siblings.Especially his grand children love to accompany him for walks early in the morning.
Walking is also a time of catching up with oneself.Often ,I think it is the rythmn of the walk that relaxes one and helps us get back to where we rightfully belong-amongst God's creation,back to the Creator.
I could live with nature if I could but I invariably find myself hurrying back to the safety of the compound as the night falls -I have heard a few strange sounds around there ,I am not really sure what I would do if I came across wild animals...atleast heard some stories about a leapord which had been sighted there.

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.
