Director's Workshop

It happened in one of the coolest places in TamilNadu on March 25, 26, 27 .When I got the letter for attending this meet, I was all excited. Guess why??? Cos this year I'm gonna be an official Director with proper training. Whole night was thinking how the training session would be. I called up my mom who is working in an other place to inform about the call letter. "Mom, Naan vbs directors training ku poreyn ". With a low tone she replied, "OH ok Poitu va "!! I understood that she was not really interested in sending me. I wanted to tell her that only ministry is adding colors at this juncture of my life. But I dint. I was determined to go anyways .I doesn’t know what she exactly thinks in her mind. She is not very open hearted. There is always a long gap between me and my mom. May be I'm grown up or she thinks I wont hear her. No idea. [Well, Get idea] :P.

So finally packed things, left home in the morning of Friday. Reached by 2 PM. Walked towards the Church. Ahh I was so hungry. How long to walk again for lunch with bags behind?? Suddenly a thought crossed my mind. Why not ask the Reverend here for keeping my bags safe in his control?? Met him, kept the bags and got introduced and said, Uncle I ll go for lunch and will be back in a while. Now the super part comes. He said , Here in our church today We are providing Lunch from Haggai ministries so u can have here :) :) :) with no further delay I nodded YES , washed my hands , took the plates had my lunch :):) ha ha ha. It was a complete vegetarian but still a satisfying food in that hunger. 

Holiday home van came to pick at 4. Reached the place. My eyes were in search of Edwin anna who is a strong believer, married, has kids. I feel always feel that he is concerned about me. I’m not sure. Anyways couldn’t find him when I stepped in in the holiday home. After refreshing when I headed to the conference hall saw him. I always love to sit in corners or in the first place of the row. This time I took my place in the 3^rd row, first seat. 

Rev.David Jebaraj uncle started the session with a prayer as always. VBS ministries national coordinator, Mr.Prabhu , Mr.Samuel thambusamy , Mr.Rajesh , Mr.Ravi came over to the dias and was welcomed by Rev.David Jeberaj uncle and he handed over the rest of the three days in their hands. National Coordinator spoke a few words and asked Rajesh to sing “ thannai thandhe yesuvukaahe, unnai kodupaya. “ an awesome song to start the session with a commitment. And I did it really. The session started by introducing the VBS theme 2011 “Walk in my ways” from I kings 3:14. Then according to their schedule they did. Mr.Samuel gave us the detail of each day’s theme and the theme objectives. He spoke about time management but he spent a lot of time explaning it. He did it in english which I personally liked. In the feedback session when people pulled his leg asking, “when you are Chennaiite , why can’t you do it in Tamil “?? He replied very beautifully, “I knew Tamil well but my thinking is in English”

I completely admire this person for his voice, talent, attitude, actions, expressions, body language, dressings, humility, involvement and more importantly his commitment to Christ. I loved the way he carried himself. “Cha ivlo commitment oda pasange irupaangala “?? This question kept running in my mind. Hats off to you Maen for your humility. God has really blessed you, I would say. I thought X is the only person who is so good in all the aspects of life. But there are people like Rajesh to oppose it :) . And when he handshaked saying “Have a happy Vbs, Akka, I was cloud nine “ :)

It was already super good cool climate in Kodaikanal but Sandhya session took place in the open ground. My teeth were typing :) :)  It was good but not up to the mark with the theme “un ejamaanan kail bayanulle paathiramaai irukiraaya??” I wish to but then I couldn’t. 

 Now the fun part comes. I played a naughty girl role in the skit and it was thoroughly enjoyed by the people in the floor I guess. Their compliment seemed like that. So with super fun three days went on but still that emptiness in heart dominated me all the time. I tried overcoming but most of the times I couldn’t. I managed not to cry. Alright now am stopping here. Else it would be a sad ending  :) :)
