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.

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.
