He is the same, yesterday, today and forever! - Sharailang D.

 He is the same, yesterday, today and forever! Praise His Holy Name!

  

My mother has a case of type II diabetes and for the last 18 years has had hypertension.  March 5th she was not well but had to travel the distance of 60 kms to her work place in Shillong.  Work commitment kept us miles apart but the lockdown brought us together.  My mother was then getting sickness after sickness.  She had a severe allergic reaction followed by severe UTI, then decrease in electrolytes level followed by severe case of diarrhea and finally she ended up with anemia in the month of October.  Her Hb was only 6.5 mg/dl and added to this, she is Rh negative.   Being a nurse, I wanted her to go to the hospital, but she was refusing to do so.  My cousin brother who is an MD then prescribed her some medication. 

I am an only child and it was just my mother and me, but I knew without a doubt that my heavenly Father was with us.  In her weakened state, my mother would look at me and whisper, “you are my lion”.  I was encouraged and realized I needed to be strong for her.  She would remind me to read and memorize Bible verses like Psalm 118: 8-9 and Psalm 23.  These verses truly increased my faith and helped me to hold on to the Lord.  I trusted Him completely and as I gave my mother her medicines, I submitted each tablet to Him. That is something I practice even today.  My mother is getting better.  My Jesus whom I trust completely knows our pains and feels our struggles.  He releases us at the right time and I want to proclaim His Name, that He is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever!

He makes all things beautiful in His time- Mary M

 He makes all things beautiful in His time     As I listened to the sermon on Hannah about barrenness and hopelessness, it brought to memory my own personal journey.   We’ve gone through so many difficulties in our life and sometimes I even wondered if God really exists.   Everything seemed to be going wrong. About 4-5 years ago in December of 2015, my husband, Rahul, was given a letter of suspension without any intimations.   Our whole life took a turn which none of us were prepared for.   Our children were small and still in Montessori and were hoping to move into a regular school.   My in laws were staying with us and Rahul was the only earning member in the house. Things went from bad to worse and it seemed like life had drawn a curtain on us. We wondered what to do, why did this happen to us? What did we do to deserve this?   In my brokenness and shattered dreams, I turned towards the Lord not sure of our future.   We decided to...

We trust in the name of the Lord! - Mhalo

We trust in the name of the Lord!  2020 has been a year of grief, struggles, pain, loss and uncertainty for everyone around the world.   Yet, as I look back and reflect upon the months gone by, all I see is God’s amazing grace, faithfulness and provision blurring everything else.   There are many things to share, but I would like to share two. The first thing is that when our nation went into lockdown, there were so many inconveniences.   But that’s when our family became the most connected through prayers and Bible studies every morning until the online classes became too many.   For over two months we came together every morning through zoom and studied the Bible and spent time in prayer.   That was an amazing outcome of the lockdown for us as a family.   We became closer to God and to each other. The second thing is that as the classes went online fully, it became so difficult to make things work smoothly for my three sons with just one mobile...

An opportunity to witness for Christ! - Ravi

 An opportunity to witness for Christ! Hello!   I am so thrilled to share an experience I had.   After almost 9 months I was able to share about Jesus face to face with someone!   It happened in my Gym where I invited my trainer to visit our church on December 25 th .   He was happy to accept my invitation and said how much he loved the environment surrounding Christmas with cakes, candles and music.   I had the opportunity to ask him if he knew why we cut the cake at Christmas.   He said he did not know and I was able to share about Christ to him.   Please pray that he would understand more clearly the love of God which is available for him.        Ravi
