The 4th of April...A birthday medley..

I knit you together in your mother's womb. (Psalm 139:13)….I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live. (Acts 17:26).) .... For you were made in my image. (Genesis 1:27)….. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14)…. )…

<

I chose you when I planned creation. (Ephesians 1:11-12)…I knew you even before you were conceived. (Jeremiah 1:4-5)..You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in my book. (Psalm 139:15-16)… For you are my treasured possession. (Exodus 19:5)… My plan for your future has always been filled with hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)… Because I love you with an everlasting love. (Jeremiah 31:3)



My sister sent me the below;

You were born on Holy Thursday. There was a full moon and Kelvin and I had just discovered Werewolves.

What if she is a werewolf-baby I asked Kelvin as we walked from Church to town with Daddy for dinner ('cos Mummy was in the hospital). The moon (as it is its wont) followed us.

Wow! Kelvin said. Thrilled with the idea of a werewolf- baby sister. Gradually I came to like the idea too - I figured you would be like the puppy I always wanted :-p

Of course you were so much more. From a cute, rambunctious independent baby you grew into a gorgeous, rambunctious, independent young lady. Learning lessons at a young age that took me a decade or so to assimilate.

People seeing us together now always think that you are the older sister - your height, your confidence and your grace under pressure being the deciding factors. And they are right - in so many ways you are the bigger person.

Thank you for coming into our lives that beautiful Maundy Thursday night.
I couldn't have wished for a better Easter gift.




Sunita , Kelvin & Jenny , Belle & Chistan , Mummy & Daddy ,
i love you ever so dearly.




To my most treasured ones..Dave, Marianne, Jimmy, Susan, Sam & Sheilla

The lil angels..Rahul, Priyanka, Christine & Celynn.

Thank You for being my life’s greatest blessings.





And to all who wished and blessed me on that special day, Thank you.
God bless you ever so dearly.

Enough



All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You are my supply
My breath of life
And still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
worth living for
And still more awesome than I know

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You’re my sacrifice
Of greatest price
And still more awesome than I know
You’re the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough for me

In Your Arms..



So I throw my life upon all You are,

Cause I know You gave it all for me,

And when all else fades,

My soul will dance with You,

Where the love lasts forever.....

The first gift of Christmas.



There’s nothing like an empty office greeting you with open arms….especially if its your first day back after a week (I still cant believe a week is over!!) of worklessness.

And nothing bets its ability to inspire or rather induced my creative juices!

Every Christmas is special. This year was no exception.

It started with the dawn of advent and all preparation that came with advent, which included my traditional “spring-clean”. Honestly, its incredible how long it takes me to prefeeect 725sf of space! And by this I mean several dayssss……

This, of course was eagerly followed by the mile long shopping list, mostly presents, ( ok ok there was the occasionally lip liner & shoes – hey , necessities ! ) and the nights spent making my lil space look and exude as much Christmas Spirit as possible...the result , surprised lil me. I was pleased. 

Over breakfast one morning, the Godsister turned to me and asked ,

“What was the first gift of Christmas?”

I looked away from my breakfast and up at her whilst trying very fast to force my head to think......she continued to tell me about a Christmas movie she watched couple of days ago…

While she was re-enacted the story over to me….i found myself trying very very very hard to remember what the first gift of Christmas was. Love ? Family ? etc etc….but none of these rang true.

Finally…she reached the bit where the answer is revealed.

The first gift of Christmas was a Child. The Son of God Himself. God’s gift to us.

John 3:16 For this is how God loved the world: he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.

Of all the advent days, this particular one remained my favorite.

Here’s hoping that all your Christmas’s will always be special – as the greatest gift the world has known was given on that day.

Blessed Christmas.

Psalm 17:8

Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings
from the violence of the wicked.

Who am i?

I got into work this afternoon…like any other afternoon. Anticipating what I always anticipate, preparing for what I always prepare for.

Indeed , it was an afternoon like any other.

But something special happened; a dear friend sent me a song via msn.

Listening to it transformed my usually afternoon mood entire!!!

Why do we ever ever ever think ourselves ordinary ????

Yes , we are ordinary , but by Him – we are nothing short of extraordinary !


Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love, and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

I am Yours
I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
