Sorry I haven't been on for soooooooo long..... but I just wanted to share this picture with you all :)

Sometimes it's very difficult to do just that. We must remember God is with us through EVERYTHING, even the hallway.

SORRY

Sorry I have been having issues with the internet ....... I'm at a cybercafe and I don't have much time so I will return and give an update...sorry again

WOW!!!

Hello everyone! Just got done with 2 days of Faith Reload Youth Camp 12.0 It was at my old church with my cousin Jeremy and Chandigarh's youth involved. They had been praying for a year for a youth camp like this one, and had been preparing for it from two months earlier. 
    There was a lot to do on Wednesday and Thursday: getting to church on time, setting up the equipment, making sure the instruments and the singers were being blended correctly, then practicing, making sure the sets of songs were correct... etc ... it went on and on and on and on .. why all these details you ask? It's because I had gone with Jerry to the practices and not just that I got reeled into helping sing backup for a song, playing the guitar, and MC ing... :P (how do I get myself into these things ....hahhahahaahaa)
     So on the two days of camp, all the crew members were running around trying to finish up last minute things.. It was so hectic, but when the camp started everything went as the Lord had wanted. :) 


With all the songs, activities, message, and prayer it was such a blessing :) The youth did not expect such a turn out, so they were blessed and in awe with how AWESOME our God is!  <3

My Homeland ♥

After flying for 24 hours, lifting my carry-on everywhere (the handle had broke :P), being in contact with a very rude customs person, and being a little lost in the Delhi airport, there was a possibility that we would have to ride a bus for 5 1/2 to 6 hours.  But as soon as we exited the airport I saw my dad and my cousin, Jonu, who I haven't seen in 12 WHOLE years.
     It was great!! He looked so different, but still the same Jonu. It only took us 4 hours to reach Chandigarh with Jonu's driving :P When we arrived we were greeted by Joanna, Mamma, Joy, Choti Bua (my dad's younger sister) and my cousin Jerry. Julianna, my other cousin was also there but she was asleep.
     We talked about our trip and how we weren't tired. Joanna, my sister, had arrived here earlier with Daddy, Mamma, and our little sister Joy, so she was telling me about her stay at Mumbai, Chennai, and here in Chandigarh. I found out Chennai is very HOT and HUMID! and there is a type of ice cream that tastes   just like   MANGO!! I LOVE MANGO!! Well I just wanted to make sure I updated you all on my arrival :D
 

    ~ नमस्ते ~      <Namaste>

God wants to show Himself to you. His awesome presence, His unending love, His gracious 

mercy, His powerful strength, His beautiful righteousness. ---- But if you don't stop to smell the ROSES, you'll miss Him!

Trusting in God...

... gives us  the upper hand in our lives. Proverbs 3:5-6 says: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Our circumstances can always get the best of us, but if we trust in Jesus, they can't. Of course, trying to get out of those circumstances, or overcoming them by ourselves can cause a bit of a mess. We try to get out but it just makes things messier and  messier. God's knowledge is far beyond our understanding like it says in Isaiah 55:9. He will take care of us, all we have to do is trust in Him and walk by faith.

"Nothing will ever compare to HIS love."

You say this, but God says differently

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. -Hebrews 11:1

The Perfect Life with Jesus

     My life is perfect... hahahhaa... Ok, let's be real. My life is not perfect. I have hardships, problems, issues, all of the above, and your life probably isn't perfect either. But the thing is we want it to be. We want our lives to be carefree, ideal, and we're looking for that solution. Jesus, sometimes becomes that solution. When we are so down, and at our lowest, but we find out that Jesus saves us out of that, we are glad. Finally we get the carefree, perfect life... WRONG!!!!

     Jesus never promised us a life without problems, He actually gave us a heads-up in Mathew 16 verse 33:

... In the world you will have tribulation; ...

     He said that we WILL have problems. Just because we accepted Christ doesn't mean we get a carefree life, but there is more to that verse.

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace... I have overcome the world.

      He has overcome this world, with all its problems, issues, trials, tribulations, hardships, all the above. That means that in this life of ours, when we accept Christ, we have the ultimate Guide. He has overcome this world and everything that comes with it. Our lives' problems are easy peasy for someone like Him. He knows every step, every turn, every nook and cranny to bring us through this life. Don't be afraid to hand your life to Him because God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). If I may, I want to say that our lives are perfect with Jesus because when we lay our problems down at His feet, He takes care of them. Our problems may be BIG, but our God is BIGGER.
