One Of My Best

WE began our friendship very roughly during school days from 6th grade. Later WE identified with each other and so our friendship was very intensive after few days in school. Question papers leaked out a day before and securing good marks, became the pet students for QUEEN mam, the scaring Thilaga and bala mam  , fun making social mam , escaping from classes in the name of song practice , long study hours and finally a fight for scratching your composition notebook ( sorry for it dint do it intentionally ) which i can never forget in life !!! ;-) She was a very small girl that time with no idea of what this world is all about and  haven't changed yet !! :-( ;-) We loved each other and each others family as well . During this stage her friendship was more important than my own family. My world revolved around her and few of my family friends . I was excited, happy and free. We shared almost everything, such as details about our family , friends , stupid homework's :) and that created a bond with us !!! ;-)

 We were always seen together at school and we were inseparable as well.Our family background was similar; we were from christian families but we haven't shared any testimonies of Lord. She was not interested in normal things that girls of our age were curious about. We seldom spoke about boys and who we would  marry !!; -(

Currently we live in different parts of the world but Our values remain primarily the same , putting God first.

 DEARIE !!

It was my fault for not keeping in touch and failed to share things happened . I dint know which thing made me to be silent for a year. But wherever I am I ll be your friend and you will be mine . You are an innocent friend of mine AYNESH VIJAYA RATHNA !!! No worries !! :-)

I am not sure if this proves that friendship formed in early years survive longer that ones formed later in life . I have formed many friendships over the years but you are the one who gave the meaning for what FRIENDSHIP is all about in my life at the early age!!! Thank u so much for your love , care and trust. 

 

lots of love

My prayer

First...

I want to thank You Lord for being who You are
For coming to the rescue of a man who's drifted far
For calling me to be Your daughter and calling me to serve
Lord the way You've blessed my life is more than I deserve
Keep the ones I love so dearly
Fill their emptiness while I am gone
And fill the loneliness in me
Let me be the evidence of what Your grace can do
To a generations struggling to find themselves in You
May they come to know the love of God
May their eyes be made to see
Give me the opportunity to share the truth that sets them free
And may unity in all things
Be the banner of Your church
And let revival's fire begin to burn.
As we face the last and final hours
Turn a wayward country back to You
And keep us from the evil that devours
Keep us on the path and lead us through
Keep us in Your light until Your kingdom comes
And our work is done 

 This is my prayer
Lifted to You
Knowing You care even more than I do
This is my prayer
Lifted in Your name
Your will be done I humbly pray. 

AMEN

love u more than words and more than life

You Are A Part Of Me

I know that you are unhappy right now and I know that it's something that nobody can take away from you, it's something that you'll have to figure out on your own. That won't be easy, but maybe this will help.

I don't know from where should I start to pen down my thoughts about you and our friendship. I never thought a girl whom i met in tuition center will become my best friend . In fact now my elder sister too ! :-) Its God's an other miracle i would say.I'm not emotional but you have brought tears in my eyes , happy tears :) I don't have so many friends to hang out. My friends are few and that fact also not worrying me cos I HAVE U. Having you makes me feel blessed , content and more importantly our friendship is a strength that enables us to go on with this road of life knowing things will be just fine cos v knew we each have one who cares about us no matter what happens ;-) ;-)

I'm thankful for your friendship , for your sisterhood , for your patience when I stupidly behave with other friends and I have never managed to treat other friends the way I treat you! Bunking college , tornado , bed room noodles , fun phone calls , texting in the midnight , secret talkings in the phone when everybody sleeps , shopping are the few things in life which i always wanna rewind !! Every time when i look back those days , my throat is stuck and eyes filled with tears. I remember how bad i felt and how lonely when u left home on may 8th !! :-( Days are not really so good now but I hope we will have good times together soon . WAITING WAITNG !! :) " Need my guy and akilah 4ever lovingly " is the plead i always keep in prayers. Hope God grants it also . I cannot go on without you !!

You have never failed to hold my hands when i was confused about life , family , friends and love as well. I'm very strong in relationships cos of u .Wherever I go and Whatever heights I reach in life its all because of God's Grace and your support . You are my bestest and dearest !!! :) Thank you akilah for u have done so much to me.

I'm not good in expressing things in words!!:)  Love you and miss you are the few words I have for u! I'm with you and my prayers too :)

love u

Its my first love letter to one person on earth and am happy dat its for u :)

ummmmah ;-)
forever in love

National level conference , Kottayam

Topic: Mission in the first decades of the 21st century

Place: Sophia centre, kottayam 14-17 October 2010

It was a very pleasant experience with its pleasantness hard to pen. When I was informed about the conference I was very hesitant because I knew I was going to get into a diverse environment. But then I decided to do it and now I believe it was worth it. The experience right from packing from home to coming back home was indeed a very memorable moment. In fact it was not just a memorable one, it was life transforming one. When I left from home, I had so many questions on my mind but I was determined to do God’s work. In the past few months life had undergone a major change. My plan for higher studies was shattered and it was hard for me to understand what God is doing with my life. I just blindly trusted Him. When I reach there I dint even know whether I was worth all the attention I was being given. The people I met, the things we spoke and almost all the speakers I listened to inspired me to just walk ahead in this direction God has shown. I presented our group discussion ideas for 15 minutes representing our team. It was one of the bravest things I have ever done in my life and I was happy that it is for God. And God also granted His grace to praise him through songs specifying in such a crowd. The place was very serene and it was a perfect place for timely reflection over our lives. I had wonderful room mates to share my room with.

The director of Vicharya prof.Mammen Varkey began his welcome address by talking about Edinburgh conference. He took us through the fallacies of Edinburgh and the context of mission. And he also provoked our thoughts to make our contribution to the Christian mission in India.

In the morning session, Bishop Thirumeni addressed us. He substantiated his message with the verse” I do not ask you to take them out of the world, but I do ask you to keep them safe from the evil one: Mathew 17:15 “. And he concluded by encouraging us to prepare the way for the Lord’s second coming. It was a proud moment when we humbly committed to God’s call to build His kingdom. 

And personally, my favorite of the whole episode was Rev.Dr.M.C.Thomas’ words on book of Jonah were heart piercing .It was life enriching for the younger generation to meet people like Adv.P.A Cyrus who has set tremendous example in humility. Prof. M.M Thomas’ view of mission keeps ringing in my ears. “Mission is to introduce people who can help those poor people”.

I can just go on and on with no end. Instead I choose to stop here. These memories will remain strong testimonies at this juncture of my life. I’m thankful to SCMI for making this opportunity a possibility to me.

Trip to Bangalore

I had been to Student Christian Movement Bangalore for an interview . The train journey was not very comfortable . Two kids in my enclosure were totally screaming through out the night , I hated them . I climbed up to my berth , heaved my bag and got ready for lying . My mom's berth was the middle one . I was happy cos I can use mob freely being up from her . After some fifteen mins , The person who got the berth exact opposite to me exchanged his berth with my mom ;-( ;-( even thou she ll fall asleep soon , i was lil sad thinking i ll be noticed :-(

I started to read a story book and felt sleepy half way . Sep 30 Early morning by 6.30 we reached Bangalore and got the token in auto ticket counter for Mission Road and reached SCM safely . Inba anna recieved us and gave the guest room key for refreshing and asked to get ready by 10 to meet the General Secretary . I came down and saw an other guy who is also waiting for the very same interview for the same post . We both had an written test at 10.20 and we were asked to stay till 12 to meet the GS . We two were waiting in the reception . My stomach was churning like milk in a blender . 12'o clock crossed didn't get any call from the office ;-( By 1 Pm he was called by them and not me . My heart was beating fast as if i had just run a marathon . The guy who went inside dint come out for about 20 mins . My mom was advising me that " if its only God's plan you will get this job and if not no worries , we will go for shopping and will leave home . After few mins I was called and questioned by the General secretary and one of the board members .They both nodded and told me " we are happy with you and are you willing to stay in Bangalore and work with us?? " . I was confused . Dint know how to react and asked them to gimme few mins to get permission from my mom and came back to them with a positive result and now am back home . And I am very very happy that am gonna be a part of SCM soon if my dad and my dear ones permits me whole heartedly !!!

Hope I will join . And I must thank my Lord who is very promising and I strongly believe " LORD'S delays are not His denials "  . I always wanna do something for you in this world and am sure I will make it through SCM .
