Hi everyone...I didn't realize how long it has been since I have last posted. I have a post that I think I have mentioned many times here - I still haven't written it yet. Nor do I think I will be writing it today. I just wanted to say, I haven't forgotten everyone, I'm still around. I have been so swamped with the new term at university. But I can say that I have been challenged in a different way and my heart has been growing for Him. I think I got a little side-tracked over the summer. More like...before the summer. This summer Jesus gave me a time of rest. I have to confess that I was a wreck by the time April came around and exams ended. I was so consumed with school and work and family issues and I had quite a few emotional breakdowns. I am blessed to have awesome roommates who have truly been my blessings. This is our last year together before graduation so it's a bittersweet year. Please pray for us. Three of the girls don't know Jesus, and that is hard. ...

Hi Everyone! I have been meaning to post for a while now, but I haven't had the chance and when I have I haven't been in the mood. However, I think it's more that it isn't time yet for me to make the post that is brewing in my heart - and there is one! I've been praying and trying to make sense of it befor I make a full post. TO everyone who I haven't visited in a while...I will soon! I just wanted to leave this message and this chapter of the wonderful book of Psalms that I love and hope will bless you! Psalm 139 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. 1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. 3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether. 5 You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your ...

I don't normally tackle other faiths...but a recent and not so recent situation made it so I had to really make a decision. Now I pray and write this because I feel it is time. Brief Background I have known of Buddhism for as long as I can remember. I knew the history of it – the Prince Siddhartha gave up everything (his royalty) to live life as a renunciant because he saw life as all suffering. There’s a story of how he snuck out of the palace (he was kept in so he wouldn’t see the realities of life) and saw a beggar, a sick man, a farmer and a funeral – this made him believe that there was only suffering in life so there was no point. He came across a renunciant (someone who gave up everything – clothes, food, home shelter – to wander around looking for the truth or ultimate reality. Siddhartha in time acquired disciples and eventually became the one who is called the Buddha or more appropriately Gautama Buddha. He is a Buddha because he achieved nirvana – ...

Well...it's been a long time since I last posted here. Honestly, in the month and a bit I have been through many many storms - but it's such a joy to say that I have never been alone. God has always been there and still is. I've had something that has been brewing in my heart for a while, I've been waiting for the right time for God to get me to it. It hasn't happened yet, but today when I was reading my Bible something else settled in me. I say settled, because it wasn't a 'jumping out-shock'kind of revelation but one that just fit. Isn't it funny how today I am the most tired and yet it is now that He moved me to writing this. Most of the time I have long posts *sorry to the people who have a hard time reading it all*, I'm not sure how long this is going to be. I let God give me the words to say what he has impressed on me to share. I was reading 2 Samuel 6 and verses 11 - 22 got to me. (I'm only showing the parts that I am focusing on) ...So David went and ...

I have become more and more convinced about one thing, no make that three. 1) God is real. 2) The world tries to both believe it and find different ways of getting to God or god or spends immense amounts of time trying to disprove God’s existence or the need for Him. 3) It doesn’t matter who we are, living will bring us trial after trial and in the brokenness God changes and works in us – if we are willing. I got to watch a movie with my brother last week. It’s a Hindi movie , Rang De Basanti – literally translated, Color of Sacrifice. [If anyone is planning to watch this movie, there are spoilers, sorry] It had to do with some of recapturing what a group of men did when they fought for freedom, when India was still under British colonial - rule. And it had a parallel to present day where a group of college students – men – took on the roles of the aforementioned men and mimicked (almost) their actions to fight the corruption in the Indian government and ...
