'Learning theology from the Theos.'

I remember vividly my senior texting me to prepare a short talk on 'calling 'to be shared with some medical students.
I had no idea what I was to share and I was praying on my couch in Herbertpur asking the Lord.I asked specifically,' Lord what is your calling in my life'?
Suddenly out of the blue came the response,'You are called to participate in ''the intimacy of Trinity'''.
I felt such a release as one often does when the Holy spirit breaks through to us.
That was the one line message ,as abstract as it sounds I had from the Lord.
The more I dwell on it ,the more I understand what a profound and a crux message it was.
I always cringe in the retrospect whenever the Holy spirit prompts because the more I dwell in it ,the more I realise my inadequacy to carry the revelations He gives us when we wait on Him.
The relationship with the trinity was the heart of Creation, reason for Redemtion....and the initiation and the destination for any ministry,relationship and life as it is meant to be.
It is also our identity and the solid rock (Christ)on which we stand and our ministry flows .
Unless our ministry is an out-flow from the fellowship,how will we understand it's heartbeat and it's agenda?
We hardly hear much preached or talked about this.
The last I heard a ranting on trinity was from a man of another faith trying to justify that christians worship three Gods instead of one.
Now I have my hands on an introduction to theology with the help of church fathers which I picked up from Inverness and the book is all about it.
I remember praying and crying before the Lord-'I have noone to help me understand your Word,you be my teacher and my instructer'.
The Lord heard my prayer and continues to instruct ,revealing first and then explaining as I go along.
I say I am inadequate and He says I am your adequacy,
I say I am poor and he says I am your wealth,
I say I am a woman and He says you are my child,
I say I am retricted,He says I gave my life to set you free,
I say I am no theologian,I have no degree,He says remember it is about 'ME'.
Praise Him whose grace is all there is to it.

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.
