Faith

                                        

It’s been a while since I penned something here. Uncertainty and hopelessness are some of the emotions  I'm seeing and experiencing around me now a days. But past week God have been teaching me what is faith and its proper understanding through some eye opening experiences, some testimonies and above all speaking to me through HIS words. Most of the time we use Faith to console ourselves and hope that something is going to change according to our plan because we are praying and we have faith. Faith can be defined as 'complete trust or confidence in someone or something'. So even if something goes wrong, or happens against our plans, when we say we have FAITH in God , we should be able to accept it and be content with the situation since we have confidence and trust that God is in control. But I feel like most of the time, I do complain or start griping about the situation to others. Then where is my Faith? Recently I heard a testimony from one of my friends, which shook me very hard. It helped me to question myself, where am I standing in Faith? A couple was married for 8 years and was told by Medical Science that there is not even one percent chance that she would get pregnant by natural means. They were given the option for artificial insemination; but being born and brought up in strong catholic beliefs, the girl didn't want to follow the artificial method. Two days ago I got the message from her mother in law ,who is my friend,saying "Julia is pregnant, Science and technology doesn't realize how magnificent is our GOD is".This text gave me goosebumps and I was speechless for sometime. I was thinking about that family since then, I knew them for past few years. I have never heard a word of complaining or hopelessness from them; they never even asked anyone to pray for them to have a baby. They just accepted the fact that it’s GOD's will to not to give them generations and was always happy. Now God blessed them with their reward. God talked to me through this testimony saying this is Faith. Accepting his Will with no complains and happy with every situations that he puts you in. Apostle Paul says in the book of James "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for   when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him". As we read that passage it says, we are not even supposed to say that I am going through a trial, because when you Love Jesus and has real Faith in him, you don’t even feel the situation as trial, Because our Lord will never put us in a situation that will destroy us . Today my prayer is "God help me to obey you and be happy with every situation I go through in my life, because I know you are with me and will walk with me hand in hand always. When I say I have Faith in you, God help me to live according to its meaning, and not just say it simply".

A recap of 2025

A Year of Uncertainty, Unexpected, Unlearning, but Unending Grace As we wrap up 2025 and are ready to welcome 2026, I want to reflect on how this year was to me.  This year was a season of unlearning. I unlearned reliance on my own strength, the need for constant approval, and the illusions I once held about what support and friendship should look like. It was a year that challenged my mind, stretched my heart, and tested my endurance. Yet, through it all, I experienced the grace and faithfulness of God in ways I had never known before. There were seasons of confusion, loss, and disappointment. Circumstances shifted suddenly, familiar patterns broke apart, and the structures I relied on seemed to dissolve. It felt as though the ground beneath me was being rearranged, and I had no control over the timing or direction of the changes. In moments like these, it was easy to feel discouraged or question the purpose of the struggle. But looking back, I see that what felt like coll...

A letter to My First Born

💗💗Life  has always something new to teach us. Every day is a new lesson for us. This is the time of  celebration, a season to rejoice and  a proud moment in life. We are about to enter into a new chapter of    our lives. I can't believe my first born is graduating from high school. Your  12 years of hard work and  sleepless nights has  helped you  to graduate successfully from high school with good grades, top 3%   in the class of 2021. As I always say I am so proud of you, what you have achieved, and how you have   grown into a beautiful young lady both inside and out.  When I say I am proud of your victories, I  am also humbled  to see God's grace upon us.  I don't have any words to express my gratitude to my  lord and Savior. As we see, thousands of kids graduate from high school every year. From your  school    too, 900 plus students graduated this year. But for me it is not just a ...

Death

When Death Came Close Death, I saw you standing near, I felt your touch, cold and clear. You took me from the ones I knew, From those I loved, from all that’s true. You showed me things I couldn’t see, How much someone can mean to me. We often don’t appreciate Until it’s gone, it’s just too late. For some, the loss can’t be replaced, A missing piece forever faced. For others, it’s a kind of gain, A break from ties that once felt chained. A freedom, a control they find, A different life, a clearer mind. For some, it’s work, a daily grind, For others, it’s new life designed. But me—I lost all I held dear,  all that’s near. I lost my home and became an orphan  You were the thread that kept us close, Now everything I loved feels lost. Time moves on, but I still grieve, No words can show the pain I weave. No one can truly understand The weight I carry in my hands. They say, “He’s old, he’s free of pain, In a better place, don’t  feel the strain....
