I have been meaning to write and now i finally get the inspiration to write. It sure has been one of the most exciting yet challenging year for both Jono and me. Big decisions to be made with gears shift in our life and surrounding. There are times we wonder if our season in KL is coming to an end but every breath crying out its not over! Often think of moving back to India . . . surreal . . . and part of us say it will come to pass if it is His will. Listening to the whisper of the Spirit and learning to take a leap of faith.

Jono and I both teach at an International school to support ourselves. There are many opportunities where we can speak kingdom values into the lives of the kids we teach. Some are very open, the other can be very skeptical. Most Students here have working parents where family relationship is not the frontline in their homes. Love shown in the numbers of gadgets parents buy for their kids rather than time spent together. It is rather heartbreaking, nevertheless it give us all the more passion and reason to be where we are for the here and now. First prize will be our work visa coming through coz we both love and enjoy working where we are. If our work visa is not done by June end / July beginning we may have to pack our bag , say good bye to KL and begin a new journey, a new life and a new season all together in India. We will appreciate your continued prayer especially for wisdom and discernment. We trust God for MIRACLE and nothing less.

Thank God with us for bringing us together. Marriage, besides God has been the best chapter in our life. We’ve been married for a year and three months now, we love and enjoy discovering each other, our differences, our strengths and weaknesses, things we love and enjoy. We are also learning to team and seek God together for the future He has for us. Like every new beginning we have had hiccups and disagreements but those only drew us closer and stronger.

I SEEK YOUR FACE

Oh Lord ! I seek your face
In this life battle
Prepare me to ensure
Your love and anointing
Is upon me in abundance

Oh Lord ! I seek your face
Amidst the turbulences
Shoot me to a new level
Be my anchor and my light
To touch and heal peoples heart

Oh Lord ! I seek your face
In life constant challenges
Help me to stand firm
Never to compromise
With your truth and values

Daddy is the BEST!!

So feel the love of Daddy this week. His favour pouring out all over me . . . leading me and quietening my soul. I was feeling a little under the weather the past week. I did not write in details but i was standing at a cross roads not knowing where I was headed too. SO many thoughts streaming out of my little box head. I was reminded of what Tony preached once about being at a cross roads – That we are in good hands when we are there . . . oh! i just long for more of Him, more of His glory and living in total surrender, allowing Daddy to have His way in my life. In the quietness of my heart and the stillness of my soul I felt Daddy leading me to his heart. I knew deep in my heart that if i draw near to Him, He will draw near to me. I want more of Him and be known as the Kings daughter who is after His heart.

As my quest for more of Him continued i found myself in Him. Amazing love indeed is His love and i need no other place than being in His presence and wrapped under the arms of His love.

It does not matter what the world sees in me, how i feel and the circumstances where i stand in . . . all i know is I am the high King’s daughter and He loves me, cares for me and rejoices over me. I will continue to love Him because He first loved me.

I was smitten by the scripture from Song of Songs this morning -
All beautiful you are, my darling;
There is no flaw in you.

Soooo deep n wide n high n great is Daddy’s love that He finds no flaw in me. Just want to encourage all my friends there reading this – that the Same King, the same Father loves you, cares for you and longs to take you deeper in love with Him. Come enjoy swimming in to the river of Daddy’s love with me!!!

Singapore

The week begin with preparations for the joyous adventure Daddy is taking me to. My visa for Malaysia runs out on 14th of July and needs to be renewed. Renewing my permit from here seems a distant dream, despite all the travel agents’ promises . . . it is soooooo not happening from here. This means, i have to leave the children and the nation that melt my heart and have fallen so in love with... Making memories together with the kids here has been amazing experience and the thought of leaving my precious kids just for a week to renew my visa is now a battle. Yet, this is a journey that i cannot disown so i set out with much heavy heart.

Markus drop me off at the Immigration in JB right after lunch at school. I had a rather disturbing time at the border with the guys there interrogating me for almost 35 minutes. They suddenly seem to be very interested in me and my life in Malaysia. I will not feed in details here . . . As they start questioning me i said a quick prayer in my heart and it ended with an amazing note.

Reached Singapore around 4 pm and head off straight to the Agent who represent the Malaysian Embassy. Give in all documents required the same day and tow off to Tacman to collect books i ordered for my grade 7 students. Met Lay Kian ( a friend who is an angel) and got a ride from her to the Pngs home.

It always is refreshing and rejuvenating to stay with the Pngs. I enjoy spending time with Eugene and Jenny, they are full of His wisdom and overflow with deep joy. Beautiful Ruthieeeeee, I just love everything about her. Experiencing His compassion, kindness and love in ways i have not experience and making memories together with them was such fun. Another person that mesmerize me is Debs,(Deborah McKeller)her creativity and just the way she flow gracefully is awesome.

Some of the fun thing i did - Dinner with the Pngs, Movies and Lunch with Ruth and making memories together – ha we have so many stories to tell our little ones one day . . . Reading, Lunch with Debs and chill out with her in her studio, Cooked Indian curry and dinner with Dichen, her fren and the Pngs. Time with Daddy and Endless favour of Him. Roiboos with dark chocolate @ McKellers overseeing the panoramic view of the China sea.

My visa came through for 1 more month . . . I was a little disappointed but did thank Daddy . . .He continue to open the door and Dad sure does have a better plan so i will follow as He lead.

Journey Continues . . .

My journey here has been amazing. I feel God's grace every single day and learning to trust and rest in Him. When i look back the past four months i am amazed at how God has been so faithful and feeling all the gaps that may have other wise been brokeness.

Cornerstone is not very big (approx around 20 to 25 peeps) in regular basis on sundays.It is amzing to see some of the kids from school come through and growing in their faith. I do believe God is using this small community to impact this nation who is so in need of the Savior.

The highlight of my experience here is the morning devotion i have with my class. We have joint devotions on Mondays and Fridays and other days are class devotion led by class teachers. I feel so privileged that i can share Daddy's love and my walk with the Father to my student. Some of them are Buddhist so please do keep me in prayers that God will continue to work in their heart and draw them towards him. There is so much potentials in the life of the kids and i enjoy seeing them Grow as God unfolds their life.My prayer and hearts cry is that the children will have a life changing experience, their life impacted and not just remember me as the teacher who comes from India to teach them but help them to walk though their faith journey.

I do really miss the lovely people - the church family, friends and the craziness of the streets in Delhi. However, i am also enjoying what the Father is unfolding in my life for this season. The future is exciting - amidst all uncertainties He still continues to lead and guide me in ways thats pleasing and perfect.Thanks to you all for walking together with me in this journey and your prayers. I just want to say that i truly appreciate all the love, and words of encouragement and covet your continued prayer support.

I will try and feed you in on a weekly basis if not more . . . :)

LOVE NOTE TO DADDY

A new day, A new beginning
Deeply refreshed I am
In the arms of His love
Nothing can keep me away from His love

I love Him , I will follow Him
Wherever He may go
He will always be my true love
Nothing can separate me from His love

My love is mine and I am His
I belong to my love,
I will sing for the one I love
Nothing will arrest me from singing His praise

I long to hear the voice
The voice of my Love
Sweetly calling out my name
Nothing will stop me to heed my love

Father, I declare that you are my love. Help me never to forget, that you are beyond compare. Work within me that other may see your grace moulding me day after day. Thank you for your deep deep love. Give me grace to enjoy your love in a fresh way, every day.

Briefs - Live in Malaysia

Time and over again, i think of writing on my Journey with Daddy here in Malaysia. This is for all you lovely souls there so we can be in the same page with what is happening in my life here.

A wonderful future does awaits when we put our hope and trust in Him. Experienced Gods' favor right at the Airport when the flight landed in Kuala Lumpur. I asked for direction to the attendant at Malaysian Airlines, not only did she gave me directions but also arranged for an assistant to take me to the Domestic Airport as i am heading to Johor Bahru. The assistant takes care of all the formalities with immigrations, no haggling or waiting and led me straight to the business class waiting hall  though i had an economy tickets. When we are on business with the King of Kings, He pampered us. good coffee and brunch at the waiting lounge and manage to catch some sleep before my flight takes of for Johor Bahru.

Thomas and Evelyn came to recieve me at the Senai airport in JB. We drove to their house first and than they drop me off at the Teachers Digs. Oh, I am sharing a flat with five other warm and loving people from four different Nations.Hannah - Australian, Frank -South African( Frank left and now Kgosi also from SA), Donna and her daughter little Sarah - Fillipino and Rachel -Malaysian. It is such a joy to get to know them and the journey of us building our friendship has been awesome. They make my transision so much easier . Great to be surrounded by wonderful people who loves the Lord and people who share the same visions.

Cornerstone family is not very big in numbers but deeply rooted in the word and very relational. I love it and looking forward to the great inheritance the body of believers has in this Nation. 

Teaching has been a fun experience and totally loving what God is doing in my life. My hearts cry and earnest prayer is to see more salvation in the life of the students.  They are just sooooo adorable and my heart melts when i see them. He is difinitely stirring up something inside of me.

Please do look out for an update as i will try to keep an update of all the happenings and not so happenings in my life.

Johor Bahru reminds me of shillong sometimes. If you are interested and want to know more about it do feel free to write to me. I will try and write more details as well.
