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 take each day as it came.  My greatest concern was for our children and their future.  All doors for admissions were closed.  One line kept playing in my mind during those days, ‘Know that I am your God’. This sentence would ring in my head every time I would begin to panic!  This would be followed by a second sentence, ‘God will make a way where there seems to be no way’.

And God did make a way where it seemed impossible.  My children made it to school.  There is not a day that God has not provided in some way.  We did not need to beg or ask help from anyone. There was a roof over our heads and food on the table. 

Things are still not easy.  My dad passed away and it was a big shock for me.  We also got a job offer for both of us at a school in Panthakot.  We were all set to move to this new place, but the lockdown happened and everything is back to the same place.  However, I’m not the same as when my husband was first suspended.  As we heard in the message, perhaps the Lord is training us for better days and tasks ahead of us.

I am aware more than ever that He makes all things beautiful in His time.  His timings are always perfect.

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
