a day to remember =)

Todayz been a great day!

To start off with, Dr Sam invited Uncle, Aunty and me over to pray for a family leaving to Bihar as Missionary doctors. We prayed for Dr.Stanley and Preena, a newly married couple who were leaving this afternoon to work in a hospital in Bihar.

Somethings that crossed my mind while meeting these people were...

a. Herez a young couple. A doctor with an MS, leaving Chennai to serve on missions. His wife a Phd in Physical Disabilities joins him with a heart to support his work at Bihar.

b. The parents of the couple. They say that they have nothing to give them except their prayers and blessing.

c. Lunch. Simple yet a great way to honor a couple leaving to Bihar on missions with prayers and fellowship and of course God's blessing.

After the meeting.

Dr Sam says he is going to Vellore and needs to be dropped at Koyambedu. I agree to give him a lift to the bus depot. On the way, he says he is going to bring 14 kids to Chennai to stay with him and aunty over the weekend. I agree to join him. We drive down to Vellore in the Ikon and reach Balanilayam, Vellore.

Balanilayam is a hostel which is home to 15 kids whose parents are missionaries in various parts of India. Wow!!

I get to meet the kids and Chandrshekar Uncle and Beulah aunty who take care of them.

Dr. Sam brings 9 of the kids in a Xylo, while 5 of them join me in the Ikon. We have a great drive to Chennai... trying to race each other on the road =)

We stopped for dinner. Itz so heart warming to see their smiles. Man... I havnt felt such happiness in a while. Thank you Lord!

The kids, after having their dinner at the restaurant, ran to the play area and had loads of fun. was nice to see their laughter and smiles.

We drove back and reached Dr.Samz house. Four of the young chaps were fast asleep in the car. Twas nice seeing them sleep. Wow!! One day these young men and women are going to change this world! I am so happy to have met them...

cant wait for 2mrw.... i am taking them to the park at 6am. =)

Lord, I just want to thank you for these small but beautiful moments you give my life. I am blessed to have met these kids today. Thanks for Dr. Sam and Sarah aunty and their heart for people. God bless these kids and their parents. Let these kids have bright futures ahead of them. Let them enjoy your favor all the days of their lives. In Jesus name, Amen.

Today was gr8 Lord!

Character!

Mike shared yesterday about God's Character.

Powerful, Loving and Holy - three traits that define God's character.

The Holiness of God envelopes His love for mankind, His love envelopes His Omnipotence.

God being all powerful choses to work out of His love for mankind. A God so loving choses to correct the sin in our lives with His holiness and finds none except His own Son Jesus who bears the wrath of God and perfects us to be Holy and acceptable and friends of God.

What Character my God! thumbs up!

My Hope

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus blood and righteousness

I dare not trust the sweetest frame

But only lean on Jesus name

When the mountains are falling

And the waters are rising

I shall be safe in You

Though the nations are quaking

Every kingdom be shaken

Still I will rest in You

When darkness seems to hide Your face

I rest on Your unchanging grace

In every high and stormy gale

My anchor holds within the veil

When the mountains are falling

And the waters are rising

I shall be safe in You

Though the nations are quaking

Every kingdom be shaken

Still I will rest in You

And the Lord was with him...

"The chief jailer did not supervise anything under Joseph's charge because the Lord was with him; and whatever he did, the Lord made to prosper."

(Genesis 39:23, Bible)

Wow! Ever wondered what it means when you say - 'the Lord is with me'??

This chapter has about 5 places that show what it means when you say 'the Lord is with me'.

1. The Lord was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. (vs 2)

2. Now the master saw that the Lord was with him(Joseph) and how the Lord caused all he did to prosper in his hand. (vs 3) Master appoints Joseph as overseer of his house and all that he owned (vs 4)

3. Lord blessed the Egyptian's house on account of Joseph (vs 5)

4. But the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer. (vs 21)

5. Whatever Joseph did, the Lord made to prosper. (vs 23)

Check it out folks. Get the Lord on your side! =)

Kinda obvious that HE is all you need. =)

Eureka!! (lol!)

As I am typing this I remember the man who actually said "Eureka"!! I had a similar experience. (PS. I didnt run out of my bathroom!)

Herez the deal... Wanna hear a nice dts rain sound?? Have some balloons lying on your bathroom floor the next time you're having a shower... (oh and make sure some water falls on it. lol!)

I heard this superbly nice sound =)

Seeking...??

Are you seeking something today?

Take heart. Here is a whisper from above to feed your thoughts...

" Can you hunt the prey for the lion,

Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions" (Job 38:39, Bible)

"The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;

But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing." (Psalm 34:10, Bible)

Wow!! (no more words needed)

Tomorrow!

There are times when days, hours and minutes seem endless... this waiting has hope when accompanied with promises of an eternal God.

And though tomorrow seems to take longer than it should... I believe in the glorious tomorrow.

The tomorrow which compensates for every lost & wasted second, the tomorrow which embraces new beginnings and the tomorrow which brings the promises of God to life.

I cant wait for tomorrow!
