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 replace them while they take their break partially and I could sort of get back to what I used to do. 

I am here. now with a host of youngsters to guide them to the best of my capabilities. Mafdhipura is unbelievable .The host of patients who come is unbeleivable. It almost feels like a government hospital in central India with patients pouring in from everywhere. The doctors hardly seem to sleep with emergencies and surgeries happening all the time. Two days into the routine a thought came to my mind.it was a picture of bread being broken to feed the twelve thousand.. Lives  were  on the line being broken to feed the multitude.

Psalm 114  is one of the psalms I have been praying over .I have had an amazing one month of walk with the Lord.The Lord lead me to it.

When Israel came out of Egypt,
    Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
Judah became God’s sanctuary,
    Israel his dominion.

The sea looked and fled,
    the Jordan turned back;
the mountains leaped like rams,
    the hills like lambs.

Why was it, sea, that you fled?
    Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,
    you hills, like lambs?

Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,
    at the presence of the God of Jacob,
who turned the rock into a pool,
    the hard rock into springs of water.

Fourth day into the life in Madhipura ,during my early morning prayer, I saw a pair of feet dipped in  water ,standing .Spiritually I sensed it was the feet of our Lord Jesus and I had no idea what I had seen or what the Holy Spirit was trying to communicate.

The verses I was lead to was Joshua Chapter 3 where the lord commands Joshua 'Tell the priests who carry the arc of the covenant ,"when you reach the edge of the Jordan's water, go and stand in the water".......When the feet of the priests touch the river, the Jordan parts and the arc of the Lord passes through Jordan and behind the arc the people follow.

It says ,'he Lord himself will dwell over the water and the  Lord will pass through Jordan.

Our high priest in the order of melchizedek is Lord Jesus .It is His feet which will stand on the Jordan as the waters part and it is the Lord Himself who will lead His people out of slavery and bondage of Egypt to the promised land.

What an amazing assurance.

In the past ten days or so I have revised  and got my ICU skills updated, I have done an abdominal hysterectomy for a lady who delivered outside and came in pouring out blood and would have died I am told otherwise., I have removed a coin from the oesophagus of a child ,

The walk with the Lord is anything but boring.I would not exchange this camaderie with my savior for anything in the world by His grace alone.

May all the glory go to my Living Savior and Lord Jesus who guides me every step of the way always.

I thought I had come to help but I gained more.

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.
