2017- God given Project

praise God for all your  encouraging testimonies.  I was in bench during Jan 2017 for more than 30 days. I got many calls from various accounts. But as my aspiration is to get PM role, I didn‘t accept all those projects. Though I dont have exper. and not elligible for that role, I asked our father atleast I try to play that role. Finally there was one position where God kept that opportunity for me only and I got selected and now playing that role with around 50 team members.  In Microsoft account where I worked for around 8yrs, though they said its very challenging to get new opportunity, I got in the same account, but with different unit in same location Shols. This is a wonderful miracle and grace I got it from our father in this year.

Praising our GOD. 🙂 I’m praying for the next  miracle to receive in 2018 to relieve my husband from bad spirit and God to open his heart to beleive our father, his miracles and his word. Glorifying our God.

2017 faithfulness of God in all things

Praise God, God has been so faithful last year as well although I'm not worthy for it.

1. Jan 3rd I was blessed with second baby which I have been praying for long not knowing who is going to take care of her. 2. He did an awesome miracle to prepare an aunty from nowhere who is taking so much good care of the little one till now. She sings Christian songs while putting to sleep like how I used to do. I was surprised if God had already prepared her years before for me when I stood this year with no one for support. She met with an accident bcoz of which she discontinued studying in Bible college and now after an year she is in my home taking​ care of my kids 😌

3. When little one was out, elder was hospitalized and completely down with swine flu. God saved his life miraculously. Purely His grace.

4. My husband was identified with kidney stone pain when I was in my last month in mom's place. Again God saved his life. Purely his grace.

5. I was blessed with 6 months maternity leave which was just a very very edge case that I was eligible for it. It was truly yet another miracle from God.

6. I joined back office on July 28th which I wasn't sure of till the date I joined. Unexpectedly I was put into a new account where again from strangers I had favor.

I cried a lot due to immense pressure to stay late beyond 5:20.

Again God encouraged me through our Fshp friends said " if God's plan is for you to to be in this project then he will have a way out. If not don't worry even if they throw you out of Infosys , God has plan outside Infosys😜👍"

I prayed and sent a mail clearly that I cannot stay beyond 5:20 but will ensure 100% when I am at office for me and team

Amazingly after a week the manager whom I have not seen till today pinged and said he has no issues with me working that way.

Till date I found favor from peers whom I have not seen

2017 -Mourning into Joy

Hello All. Sharing my testimony for this year. This year has been a blessed one for me and my family.  I thank the Lord for guarding us and providing all our needs. Even though I have been unfaithful HE has always been faithful. In the beginning of the year I had conceived my second baby. I was a bit surprised as I wasn't ready for it. But the Lord helped me through it when I was alone here. On September 8 I delivered a beautiful healthy girl baby . And both my babies are happy and healthy by God's grace. My eldest daughter started daycare and adjusted well to it. My younger brother got married this year. I thank the Lord for all the good things he has given me. I can't thank the Lord enough as you all know. Thanks to all of you for encouraging and praying for each other.

In continuation me and my husband came to Australia in 2013 depressed about not having a kid. Four years down the line we have two kids a good job and permanent residency in Aus. A doctor had said that I will not be able to conceive naturally at all. But nothing is impossible for our Lord. So gals take heart and keep praying. He will do a miracle.

FGB Testimony on marriage. Faith.

Hi girls, I was reflecting on Abraham offering Issac on mount Moriah. I always thought about this as a test to prove the faith of Abraham. Today, reflecting on this passage, I was thinking, well God knows everyone's heart and He already knows Abraham's level of faith. So why? I then remembered something that happened in my life. I would like to share that with you all..

I am a FGB. Both me and my elder sister. (My eldest sis is yet to come to know the Lord). My believing sister was married to a Hindu. When my parents were looking for a match for her I asked her to take a stand for marrying only a believer. But since I was the one who was pushing her to do so and she was not convinced that way herself (she is a soft person and feared to do so against my own parents) she got married.

When I finished college and went back to live with my parents (working in infy) they asked me what type of person I want to get married to. I struggled to tell them. So first I said I don't want to get married. Bought some time that way. I was in turmoil inside but on the outside didn't show anything to them. They thought I am just being stubborn.

My mom and eldest sis kept pressuring me and my second sis was behind the scenes telling me what the rest of the family is planning/ talking. I was an alien in my own family.

Lots of people were praying for me and one day I just plainly told them that I want to marry a believer in Christ.

They were shaken to the core. Mom upset. Crying all the time. Dad angry with me for making mom upset. Dad scolding me to my face in front of strangers who come to visit them. Mom serving dinner and while I am eating standing nearby and crying. I didn't have any appetite. I was also so emotional and upset. But I had to put up a strong front. I cried myself to sleep every night. I worked late nights and weekends to be away as much as possible. My aunts came home and said that my stand is affecting my mom and so I must not do this as I owe them the upbringing and must not harm the family's good name. Further they made me feel even more guilty citing my mom's health and is this how you repay her for her kindness.

My cousin's only daughter was admitted in the hospital and she died or dengue. That was a tragedy that hit my family and forced me to move back to live with my parents. Then the emotional drama became full blown after that.. since I was seeing them face to face everyday...

Meanwhile my friends were getting married and I was getting wedding invitations home. Every single thing resulted in some kind of emotional drama. My dad made some extreme steps to get rid of the problem I was causing.

My eldest sister for the first time in my life said "choose between family and Jesus" - when I chose Jesus she said "I won't speak to you hereafter" and then our relationship got cut off. She stopped speaking to me.

All these things happened over a period of approx 3,5 to 4 years

Now that I described all that happened, here is the main thing I want to share: a believer friend's husband said that one of his classmates who is working abroad is a believer from a similar Hindu Brahmin background. This man was supposed to come to India on vacations. So Annan suggested that I talk to my parents and see if this will be ok with them. I didn't know anything about this man except that his name was Balaji and he is a believer. Annan made me talk to Balaji on the phone briefly and we shared our testimonies. I felt at peace. Then I directly linked my mom to Annan. He made my mom to talk to Balaji's dad. Finally there was a ray of light in my otherwise dark tunnel.

They lived in Hyderabad and they sent balaji's aunt (who is a believer) to check me out. She went back and gave a good report. So things seemed to be on track

Balaji's father was a very horoscope believing person. He requested it and my mom sent it. I clearly told my mom not to contact them any more until they have something to say and they call her. She could not wait. She called balaji's aunt and asked what is happening and she replied that they matched the horoscope and it did not match. My mom and sisters were heart broken. I didn't know all this as I was in office.

My believing sister called me (I was standing in front of the icici branch in office - mahindra city, on the way to the bus to go home) and she was crying on the phone. I didn't know why. She said that after all this time finally we got hope that this is the guy and now since the horoscope does not match it's a dead end. She said that everyone was upset at home.

At that moment all the 3,5 years flashed in front of my eyes and I braced myself for another long wait and emotional torture. I praying saying, Lord You have brought me this far. This seemed to be the one. But I won't marry anyone if it's not Your will for me. Just promise that You will continue to be with me in the long road ahead. You brought this match and You have taken it away. I am going to hold on to You even more now and keep going. Then I went and got on the bus to go home.

I got a call- it was from an unknown number and a male voice. So I assumed it was Annan. I said " hello anna! Whatsup" - the voice said " I am not him. I am Balaji" then I thought - what a decent person, he is calling to tell me that the match is off by himself. So I said "thanks for calling, I heard already that the match is off" to spare him the difficulty. He replied "no it's not" and I could not believe my ears. One moment earlier I was mentally prepared for another waiting period and here is this man saying my wait is over.

I realized that God already knew my faith and reaction to the situation - and He knew Abraham's reaction and depth of faith as well. But this test is to prove to me how strong my faith is: probably to Abraham as well. After this happened to me, I know that I have the faith to depend on God in dark situations. I know I can cling to Him. This faith then becomes the foundation of my relationship with God. I was tested and I came out stronger and brighter. I look back to that moment in my life and draw courage to trust the Living God for my future. I will take the right stand even if the situation is much harder than the one I have crossed by the grace of God.
This I think is the reason Abraham's faith was tested.

*******
After Balaji called me as said that (he was going to leave back to Finland in 4 days as his vacation was almost over) - I told him that he needs to come officially with his family to visit me. Till this moment I had not seen him at all. Not even a pic. He said ok. He arranged flight tickets for himself and his dad and they were to come down. His aunt in the mean time sent me 2 pics of him. That's when I saw him for the first time.

They came home and saw me and parents were talking and my dad gave his dad a "tamboolam" to finalize the agreement.

The next day he was going back to Hyderabad to fly back to Finland. So that night I got to go out with him and actually talk. The next day he was gone. After that phone calls and skype. Then marriage 6 months later. 5th day after marriage - flew to Sweden to start our life together.

I never knew satisfaction and peace like what I felt when I came to Sweden to live with him. It was so much peace that it felt like a soothing balm on all my past struggles.

I was just filled with gratitude for God's provision for me.
The reason I started typing my story to make the point that when God tests our faith, He is not testing us to prove to Him how strong your faith is. He is testing us to prove to us how strong our faith is. So that, once we realize that we can be empowered to trust God even more.

Drowning - miracle

Praise God. This reminds me of a very old incident as a child.. i was learning to swim in a farmers' well in a village in the traditional way.. they jus let me down.. i was drowning.

I had the practice of closing my eyes tight once inside the water😜 suddenly there was so much silence i slightly opened eyes n saw nothing but green water. Nearby there was a hand frm top. I jus lifted my hand towards it n the hand pulled me up...

I thought it was of my uncle who was teaching me to swim... he said no.. u came up by urself😳 my cousin who was learning to swim with me confirmed that none frm outside helped

Fallen -held miraculously

A small testimony: I was at lalgudi which is near Trichy for few days for a function.

The function was at a mini hall in 2nd floor. I was busy running here and there and helping and once the function was over, I took Dorit and started moving down through stairs. While taking my first step i got a call from my brother, so I left Dorit with mom and a talking to my bro,i climbed down. I didn't realize it was slippery as someone had dropped the ice cream by mistake there.

I was walking in the middle rather than holding the grip.i got slipped And fell down in stairs in a position such that my head and back would have hit hard in the tiles. It happened in a second but I felt like someone was trying to catch me up.

First i thought it was mom but after the fall And while trying to get up, no one was there near me. I didn't get hurt much. And Dorit was not there with me too.

Praise God for His protection!!!

God of small things

I like to share a small testimony.. In my home Hall.. Tubelight got fused and we dnt had proper light inspite I replaced with bulb.. . 

And exams are going around for my son...I cried inside my heart for this small problem  along with some other feelings.. Of my life..and mostly I expect neighbours to help on this  'God how long I need to expect or please others for all these types of works' As i dnt have any male in family right now to help on this ... No proper stool to climb as it is too high for me.. And also I need to buy a tubelight and carry safely to home.. Calling electrician for small things also not possible in our area..

I kept in prayer simply  to change my mindset. ..and give a try for it.. Went shop and bought tubelight holded and tried hard to remove old and  fit..New as it was on height. Standing in sofa tip.. But in vein....again I tried ..managed to fit new...

Now to test.... But it doesn't work..!!!!! I decided to call electrician and was just thinking how many things I'm going to face like this.. How many person I'm going to expect for these kind of works.. Just climbed and rotated with switch on itslf and praise Lord it worked  at the moment it was touched....

Eventhough problems are simple at others eye.. a stool if I had in my home easily wld have managed or if I waited for few days my father would come to my home.....

But God intention was to tell me be brave and dnt feel for situation.. U are not alone I'm with you... 😊

Transformed wife and husband

Girls, there is one long pending testimony from my side. When we were married, I was on the air as I thought I was married to the most wonderful guy in the world. It had been like that until I found some shocking truth about him in just few days.

I started having hurt deep inside of my heart, and I continued to live that way as I didn't want to offend my parent and in-laws. I continuously questioned God asking Him why He allowed the situations I underwent. All whys with no answers. To be frank I didn't want to continue living like this and was always thinking to go back to the life I enjoyed before marriage. Without even writing things in my diary I could easily remember the tough moments with date and time, and the history prevailed for about a year or two. And my hubby was always pinned strongly with my arrogant questions to which he was never prepared to answer at all.

After the initial years, the names and dates and times which I thought I would never forget, God helped erasing those from my strong memory and I no longer feel hurt thinking of those. Instead all I do now is, to think how God led us together through those crucial times and how God transformed both of us through it all.

It was during my second Birthday in my marital life, I got a surprise email from my hubby (with lot of spelling mistakes of course 😜 ) asking for my forgiveness. He was very honest in what he wrote and how he wanted to change. And he indeed changed in many unbelievable ways. I am damn sure it was all because of God. He erased all the hurt, guilt and pain we were going through. Now each passing day, I wonder how much the hurt I had toward my husband turning into love and each passing day I can feel that it only grows. Yes, we are not finished yet; still lot of imperfections, but we are growing together.

Today since I had free time in my hands, and he was not with me during the evening, I read the same long email which he has sent it to me as Birthday gift. My eyes were filled with tears and my heart with thanksgiving. Have you ever told your husband that you love him? I am also not such an extrovert to say all that face to face; but I am good at conveying things in writings.

After 3 years I have responded to his email for the first time telling him how thankful I am to God for giving him as my husband and how I can't be happy with any other guy other than him. Not sure when he would read my reply (I am sure he would have never imagined he would get a response from me), but I am now burden free.

I told him how much the love I have for him grows everyday. If you are one like me, who always puts on a strict face and never likes to tell nice things, try out something new. Tell him how he changes your world. Who knows! Maybe he is waiting to hear it from you. Life is too short to leave this important thing behind. A very late realisation though, yet worth realising it at least now than never.

Second delivery miracle

Praise the Lord for all His mercies. Its time I share my testimony regarding my second pregnancy. I had my first son 7years back and I had a very tough time during pregnancy, delivery(though it was normal) and also he suffers from atomic erythroderma. Due to this he can't sleep continuously right from his birth. Till now he has trouble falling asleep. He can stay up even till 1am. So I was always afraid of going for a second baby though I wanted.

I kept all my fears as prayer points. My prayer points were 
1) baby should sleep well
2) baby should be very healthy 
3) I shouldn't have vomiting as I was vomiting till 8th month for 1st pregnancy 
4) I had gestational diabetes in first pregnancy, so everyone said that I'll get it even for my second one, so I prayed that I shouldn't get it
5) I was already overweight so prayed that my weight gain should be manageable during pregnancy.

When I first visited the doctor after a positive HPT , the doctor first asked me to be strict on diet and completely stop all sweets except for coffee/tea and told me that I'll definitely get gestational diabetes this time also. So I was continuously monitored and the doctor was surprised as my sugar levels were completely normal throughout.

I had minimal vomiting only during the first trimester,  that too was very manageable. I was able to travel to kandanchavadi from east Tambaram for work everyday. I used to take share auto. God protected me even in those travels. 
My weight gain was not much throughout pregnancy but my baby weighed 3.5kgs at birth.

The verse that I claimed throughout pregnancy was James 1:17 , Every good and perfect gift is from above. I prayed saying this verse everyday. At 37th week I started getting fear about the delivery as I started remembering the problems I faced during my first. My parents and brother prayed over me especially to overcome the fear and I was filled with peace. I did not get tensed after that prayer.

My due date was given as 31st Aug but there was no signs of pain at all and the baby's head was mobile and very high. All at home were starting to get tensed but I was cool. My last scan was on 27th Aug. The scan report said that there were 2loops of cord around the baby's neck.

The doctor was not happy with it and she said that she'll wait till 3rd September for pain to start if not she'll induce me on the 4th. I wanted a normal delivery but prayed that Whatever the delivery my recovery period should be very less. Also due to cord around baby's neck was praying for God's guidance and wisdom to the doctor. On 4th afternoon I was given injection for pain but still no signs of pain and head was still mobile and not getting fixed. Then the doctor scheduled for csec on 5th morning. But I started getting pains by 2am. And the water broke by 3am. I was high on labor but the baby was not descending. So I was taken to the operation Theatre for the csec. On operating the doctor was saying that the baby could not descend as there were more than 2loops around the baby's neck.

The time I was operated was the perfect time any delay could have risked my baby's life. Praising God for His wisdom to the doctor to take the right decision on time. 

Once out of the OT, I was shown my son and he was perfect just as we prayed.  He is able to sleep calm and all the pain(emotional) we had for my first son are getting cured seeing this miracle baby God has blessed us with. 
As I prayed for a quick recovery, God is helping me to take care of my newborn alone from the third week though I had a C-section.  Thanking God for all the prayer support from my family in Christ. All Praise and Glory be to our wonderful prayer answering God.

Healing from above

Testimony Time. 
Praise the Lord for all His mercies!! 

Last month my son got an infection in his thigh. His allergy levels are high in blood which always shows in the skin. He has atopic erythroderma. We generally keep him in a very strict diet as he s allergic to nuts, eggs,  banana,  chocolate.

Due to this the infection got very bad and it was bleeding. Me and my husband used to apply medicine and ensure he doesn't scratch himself throughout the day as it used to be very itchy for him. If he scratches it will bleed. But at night he scratch and make the wound very bad.

Every morning for a week I used to wake up to see his shorts full of blood and stained bedsheet. We even tried to sit all night taking turns to keep him from scratching but even that dint work as we were too exhausted seeing him suffer that in the early morning we fell asleep unknowingly.

We both were just crying to God for his healing. Then it started to dry little by little. Also the itchy feeling also reduced for him.

We were happy about it but then we saw that the scar itself was soo bad.  Again we are praying,  now even the scars have almost gone.  All praise and glory be to God for the healing.

Answered prayers

I have one too. .my husband constantly complains that it became a habit. Everything was bad. Even Curtain, Windows, tiles, doors, food, dress. I had named him as pulambal when we were newlyweds. It was horrible during the tough times we went through. But since a year I've been praying specifically for each of his habits. Anger, criticism and forgiving forgetting.

Yesterday he commented the house was too small. I smiled as I do now, but then he added himself, that we should be grateful as there are so many without a house. I smiled again

At night we had a rift thanks to ants on our bed. He was bad and shouted and made it a big thing. It was 11.45 I was too tired to even respond. He was just mad that I tried to dust away that ant and not look under the mattress or change sheets. I zipped my mouth and joined him changing sheets, pillow covers. Girls were stunned seeing dad shout but continued playing. 12.30 we were in bed with a bed time story. He came in suddenly and said sorry for all that I said, what you did was wrong. I was surprised and beamed.

This morning as I prayed my 10 points for him, these two things came to my mind. God had indeed transformed him. And of course me too. What a wonderful God we serve. I can't help but thank God for his mercies.

Miracle baby - vasa previa

Vasa previa - a rare condition , can't be detected in the scans, in which the baby's blood vessels are at risk of getting ruptured and 50% chance of the baby to survive if an emergency delivery could be done.

God allowed me to go through this condition but He didn't leave us alone. He carried us through this devastating condition when on Aug 1st night my water bag broke in my 34th week... by next day morning water became inadequate and the doctors thought to induce labor.

In the process suddenly I started to bleed heavily and the doctors arranged for an emergency c section. I lost considerable amount of blood and so did my baby. I was on the wheel chair being rushed to the operation theatre and I was screaming to God at my heart to save my child.

Doctors told me tat I was lucky that day since all the doctors, specialists were readily available to handle the situation.

My son was born and he suffered a serious respiratory distress and blood loss and they took him immediately to NICU. The doctor was not able to give any assurance but just said let's see. He was given blood twice and platelets transfusion was done once. He suffered a serious infection for which he was under antibiotics for 10 days. His kidney was functioning a little slower and we were completely broken.

The Lord will not fail those who look at Him. And He didn't fail us. The day we were discharged from the hospital the doctor looked at me and said , "It's God's grace that your baby is fine now. We were able to save him at the right time".

We give all praise and glory to God. We as a family would stand as a testimony all through our life for the great and mighty hand of God has given our son alive to us. I am grateful to all who had prayed for me.

Untitled

Dear ladies... Here is my understanding which I learnt from my mom who was a strong Hindu , later became a great testimony for Jesus...

There were sons of God walking on this earth(Genesis 5) before Jesus, but none of them led a holy life...they are fallen angels with powers to do good or bad to the people who pray to them, but they don't have the power to forgive our sins, cloth us with righteousness and make us holy to stand before God, the one n only ultimate power according to all religions...

Every word we speak has some power and every action we do had some power.. it can bring good or bad.. it's the way God has created us when He blew his spirit in Adam n eve...we all have his spirit in us irrespective of our religions, caste or race...this spirit in us longs to be reunited with the one where it came from.. that's the reason all of our spirit has the same longing to seek God and His peace in many ways..

When we trust in Jesus and in His spirit, He comes and lives in us, making us one in Him as explained in John 14..and we do what he wants us to do and we pray what he wants us to pray and we get all we pray for, since we ask according to His will...
About praying to saints, it is as good as talking to yourself...you can just talk and can't receive anything back...and the other spirits can use those prayers to manipulate your situation and understanding...

Work Goliath -handled with ease.

Testimony:
Praise the Lord for making me glorify his name.
Last 2 weeks I had an execution, in which I need to work on a new application and to support business team.

I was so worried and my client manager was also so upset on me, which make me so worried and I was feared even to go to office and face her.

Every day going to office was like so horrible for me. I was requesting so many ppls to pray for me and my execution.

God helped me to complete the execution successfully and my manager was so kind to me during the execution. I will say God shut her mouth to make me work peacefully.
Thank God for all His mighty works
Amen

Transformation -self,spouse and others

Another testimony.
In my first testimony in this group I have mentioned that my husband and I had some issues between us because of which we didn't dare to take Sunday's classes, but God helped us overcome and enabled us to take classes for the past one year or so.

Last year we both took the same class as we were given hostel boys and they learn only in Tamil and my husband is very poor at it. He can't even write his name  without three to four mistakes. LOL. However this year the Sunday's school superintendent has allocated us both different classes.

For me it was inter boys and for him it was senior hostel boys, with Tamil syllabus to be followed. He was very scared and in fact he even went and spoke to her that his class to be changed as he can't handle senior guys, but that akka told him that it was God who put burden in her heart for senior guys and it would be my husband, who can handle them much better as these guys need one-to-one counsel.

Today in the morning I had to correct his class boys' answer sheets as they have written in Tamil. The last question was, "How can one live a life close to God?". One of the class boys has written such a long testimony and I was thrilled to see my husband's name in it. He has mentioned that he was struggling with one particular sin (not sure what it is) and he wanted to come out of it, but he couldn't.

Then one day he has shared Jeba about it and they both prayed earnestly after the classes are over. (My husband spends lot of time alone with the boys after the class usually which made me angry many days.) And after that prayers and Counseling, he was able to overcome it and that is how He now lives a life close to God nu.

My eyes are filled with tears when I had to correct his answers. The one calling which we both had been so rigid to obey, God has turned it upside down. Now I cannot feel angry on him spending one-to-one time with these young lads. :)

And I thank God for really bringing transformation first in us. Have a blessed week! Thanks again, for reading this testimony. 😀

Saved from fatal accident

Have a testimony. My husband fell down the bike as the brake failed. he was thrown off the bike and landed separately. He had the helmet on, but not strapped. Praise God there was no vehicles on the road. Neither any sharp stones where he fell. Neither had the helmet given away.

The people on the road came running thinking it would be a very fatal fall, but God our protector has sent his angels to guard him. Not a single scratch or a broken bone or teeth! 

He always prays before leaving the house and that day he felt he should carry the Bible and so he put it in the bike box.  Praising God for his mercy and love.

KG admission

*TESTIMONY TIME*
Yesterday morning me hubby n son got ready for my son's KG admission next year (Jan 2018). Both went ahead in bicycle to a school close to home n before I could step out Hubby called n said all seats full so going to another branch. I went there but before I reach they're out with same msg. I was furious n asked why did they  put adv board like this ???  took my son in bicycle back home n hubby left to work.

The branches which I planned are already full(WL >5) n I was shattered. Sitting down at the park the moment I submitted to God asking not my convenience but The Lord's will as He knows the BEST, He filled me with His peace n joy.  

Meanwhile before taking train, husband went to a school n registered that was not in my list at all. That too I never thot will be able to get morning batch. Never ever.

As foreigners we register at the last phase(literally micham meethi) all morn sessions wud b taken by locals. That too with mother tongue Tamil(which was not in my list at all) Praise God. All glory to Him alone.. I made my mind settled for something possible n least expected. But God rejected it. Honestly it was painful. When I realised His might n purpose n submitted my failure He gave His victory( the impossible that I never even thot of/dreamt abt) Glory to Him alone..

Healing from leg pain

One small testimony- today I couldn't even get up from bed at 4am due to severe pain in between bones from hip to my knee of right leg.

I shouted for help but husband hasn't woken up. I prayed for a moment and managed to got up and walked with the support of walls.

I prayed and applied oil and went to bed. With God's help I could wake up at 6am without any pain and like normal day I went to office. Praise God for all his blessings.

Salvation love fgb

Will share my testimony soon. But same question my hubby asked "why did you accept Jesus as only God" all my answers couldn't convince him he said. Cos no miracle/healing/vision.

I know God works in that way too but not for me. It's His love, forgiveness of my sins n victory over death. I believe in Him for that illogical/baseless reason as my hubby says.

But I thank God for never giving up on me when I argued/questioned/doubted/was arrogant/reasoned. Only He filled the vacuum in my heart which nothing else could n His word answered all my questions n Jesus is d answer.
Still when my hubby watches documentary/videos on YouTube n asks me questions that I couldn't answer I just trust in Him n say a prayer in my heart that He will soon replace d stone heart with a fleshy one just like He did to me. N also I pray for my faith too.

Praying for baby

When I was praying for getting pregnant at the middle of the night.  Every time I used to flood him with my prayer requests. And then cry. This was my routine. One day my hubby woke up and found out what I was doing.

He corrected me saying. Allow God to do his will. Instead of ur wish. And listen to him. I followed it and got a great peace in my heart. Only then I left all my medicines which I hv been taking for 6 years.

Now I am 5 months pregnant

Prayer for baby. Gifts

My parents' was a love marriage- dad CSI and mom Hindu Brahmin. Dad was not strong in the LORD. Mom, been to convent for schooling, had the habit of going to Catholic Church and praying to Mary as well after marriage. But they regularly go to CSI church on sundays.

She had 2 abortions and then I was formed in her womb. She had prayed to Mary that if this child is born healthy, she would come every year with the child to Veilankanni church. It happened and we all used to go every year.

Though I had been saying that JESUS is the LORD, I didn't have the personal relationship with GOD until I came to college. I gave my life to GOD during college days wherein I also came to know about the idol worship. That year, I was called to come to veilankanni for that vow.

It was a great challenge for me and I stood strongly saying that I wouldn't. I explained my mom all that I understood about idol worship. She was scared that something might happen to me if the vow she made was not fulfilled. I told her that the idol is nothing, it can neither speak nor hear nor see nor do anything and above all GOD is almighty and HE would protect me. We stopped going there from that year.

But my mom didn't experience the gift of salvation until few years back. But GOD has HIS own plans and time for each. Though the seed was sown earlier, she didn't accept it then. It took many years for her to come out of the idol worship.

If Mary helped me to be sustained in my mom's womb, why didn't it happen in the first two abortions she had as she was praying to her even then? So, obviously it is the LORD's plan.

Once I got saved during college days, I had spent hours and hours in prayer, fasted (no water and food) the whole day just to receive spiritual gifts especially speaking in tongues.. I was mad for it. I used to question like why to them and not me. Waited for many years but it didn't happen. After few years, the LORD taught me that HE gives gifts as per HIS will. Not only tongues is a gift..

I suggest that you sit in HIS presence with all your heart and talk to HIM believing with no doubt. HE definitely talks. It differs with each and not the same with everyone. HE might talk to you directly or through HIS word or through the songs.

Prayer - we talk to GOD
Bible - GOD talks to us

Marriage fgb- to a believer

I hv a friend from Hindu background. She got saved in her school & got strengthened in Christ thru her college fellowship.

She was praying for her parents' salvation. Her dad was saved when he got cancer, thru her friend who shared gospel in his death bed. He used to scold Christians for sharing gospel.

After he got saved, he told, "how can v keep this joy with ourselves? V hv to tell others." After a few months he died of cancer, but as a believer! He arranged marriage for his daughter to a believer. They got engaged. Within a few days after their engagement he passed away.

My friend earlier used to pray for her parents salvation & wanted to marry a believer & to hv Christian wedding. God answered her prayers!

Questions with no answers

I was in unrest state a few years back...I was raging ..I was pouncing on all Christians...I asked why what...no one could answer me...

As u said it was cos of an unanswered prayer...
I prayered for 1 ..2...3...years with strong faith...
True...cos God answered all my prayers prior I was feeling He was real...
After 4 years I felt is He there ...

But I am happy He dint answer me...cos I understood my faith and my love ...

I was imagining that I was the best lover of Jesus ...and best bakathai...and I loved Him for Him...

But this unanswered prayer made me question my faith...
Was it on Him or His gifts that I was passionate about ..
Losing one blessing made me bewildered...

I was angry with myself now...what a hypocrite I was...I called people to Jesus saying they will get healed or this n that...
But that wasn't real either...

I was running here n there for peace ...cos something I held on from my kid days I had no more...

I stopped praying reading bible going to church ...

I had no peace ...I had no life ...no light ...

But our Lord is loving God...I fought Him bad...I was confident not to talk back to Him...

He dint leave me to die in my madness...
He reassured that it was not cos of his gifts I need Him...but cos of Him alone
That's wen I got calmed down

Ectopic pregnancy

I had an early miscarriage in 2009 n prayed that there should not be any DNC as doc mentioned if not expelled completely.

From then I was sub consciously boasting on a non-op (kaththi padatha) body after 2 normal delivery n no family planning, when it stuck me that I need to be operated on emergency to remove tubal (ectopic) pregnancy without any other option left.

God helped me realise n repent . "Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord." 1 cor 1:31 n comforted me thru His word.

God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.2 Cor 1:3-4

It was not easy, really tough but God helped me through

3 testimonies - praying for husband

I had one such incident on last Easter Sunday. We fought like mad, before starting to church..And I was crying all the way...So irritated. Wondering why we should go to church fighting😒 oxymoron but anyway we did. I dint listen to the message...

Was asking God ,how to handle things..And what to do.. he gave me such peace and I bounced back... And my guy also was ok after church.

When we returned home, everything was normal. Earlier the fight has ripple effect throughout the day/week. But not that day! God helped me see where I go wrong. The attitude, the words, the anger... At the peak of the moment. Is not worth it. Praising God for his mercies.

Pray for your husband daily. That's what am following regularly. Even when I say a prayer with my kids I pray for him. Not seeing any change but still am sure God will touch Him soon in His time.

* started following regularly.. very recently

True. I had a ten pray point, when we were separated. I used my fingers to count. And I still do that. But not that frequent. But must do daily.

Btw,  one of our fellowship friend, shared her story of her dad (unbeliever),mom Christian. Till she was 10 years, her mom secretly did family prayer. Dad wasn't opposed to them going to church. In fact droped/picked them up.

One new year service, it was too long, and her dad had to wait outside.while waiting God had spoken to him. And the next new yeat service he came inside church.

Now he's an elder in the church and very active in telling the gospel.

I hope this story encourages, all those with  husband's who are yet to be saved.

Here's a  custom prayer for my husband.😋
Make yours something like
1.  For him to taste the Lord's love -height. width,breadth
2 . Renewing of his mind by the holy spirit daily.
3. His health
4. His job - to love his job
5. His friends. - to have a Christian mentor at workplace.
6. His anger
7. His forgiveness and forgetfulness.
8. His joy. No lamentations or critical spirit.
9. His ministry what God has called him to.
10. To bring out his talent

Lifetime investment.  😏  praying for him daily itself will renew our thinking and help us put things in the right perspective . Instead of fuming and getting upset. 😑

Miracle baby - after 3.5 years

My testimony. Got married in Aug 2013, but never got to see positive Urine pregnancy test. NEVER! I won't say I was greatly disappointed as I was also waiting for few things between me and husband to settle down slowly and it took a while.

Once things became alright everyone started expecting and wherever we went we got plenty of advices and tips, which only made us feel bad. We were hesitant to take Sunday's classes due to the initial issues with in us, but somehow for the past one year we have been teaching little children every Sunday. In the meantime tried multiple doctors (not big treatments), but with some repetitive scans and tests, with no issues reported. Later during these last scans this year beginning said I had little harmless cysts and they would take time to resolve and the doctor would stop even the few tablets I had for 5 days at the start of my cycle. I would have to be honest here. My cycle - can vary from 26 days to 60 days too. You can hardly guess what my fertile days are, including doctors. And there were many times when I had trouble with egg rupturing, but would just grow and the doctor would again say she has to skip that particular cycle or two to start all over again from the scratch. And you can easily guess how my mood was all through every pelvic scan. And most of you would remember the time I went for tube test, sincerely speaking, because of all your prayers I got enough strength to undergo the test and yes it was painful but I expected the worst when I went, and it didn't seem so worse as I thought before the test.

Then my doctor said she would start with IUI (artificial insemination) process from the next cycle as there were no blocks detected in the tube test. Well, As always, I asked few more months to avoid IUI, but my husband was very rigid that we would start IUI as per the doctor's suggestion. Though I didn't like his idea, I also didn't like my idea of prolonging the wait as I did for more than 3.5 years. So I was very relaxed after the tube test as anyways we were going to face all the harsh treatments.

I had extended stays at work both on the weekdays and also on weekends supporting my team through their weekend support and that includes night support as well. (I am a TL with 30+ members in my team), who is always early to work and late to bed. I hardly remember the days we were together. HARDLY means real HARDLY. We even went for long drives assuming we would have to stay home once the treatment starts. Triples at times! Lot of jerks and bumps crossed!

On June 26th we went for scripture union campsite with the fellow Sundays school teachers for a retreat program, and I went there along with my heavy laptop bag as usual to assist my team during their holiday support. I got to work when the church friends had games to play. After returning Home after a long tiring day, I realised it was more than 50 days and I was not too much surprised with it as my cycle, as told earlier, can go up to 60+ days as well. But then I thought of doing Urine pregnancy test just for formality. I am sure I have done only close to 10 UPT all through the past 3.5 years. I have never seen two pink lines which many weds long to see. This time unusually I saw two pink lines for the very first time in my kit. I could hardly realise how I could take that test result.

Though I have forwarded you all my friend's testimony and the long list of pregnancy promises I never told them at least once. I know many are praying for me, but I was not serious to pray about a baby. I showed my UPT kit to my husband and we were not able to believe that we were expecting. We thought of getting it confirmed with the doctor the next day.

Since my doctor was busy on that day with emergency deliveries, we had to wait. I underwent some pelvic scan again (sheesh) and I was laying down there thinking what the technician would tell me after seeing the result. I have to be honest that I expected her to yell at me "Hey you said you had a positive result, but there is nothing in here." But I heard her saying, "Can you see here?" I was so scared to see what she was about to show me, then, she showed me the baby's heartbeat, only by that time I could believe that I was pregnant for the very first time in my life. A wait close to 4 years! (my 4th wedding anniversary is on August 22 and I didn't want to celebrate it without the bundle of joy we usually expect every passing month) with that heartbeat readings I was waiting for the doctor to return. Once they called out my name, the attender asked me to stand on the weighing machine, the doctor said, "no maa she is not pregnant, she has come here for the regular checkup" assuming I have gone there for IUI preparation.

When the attender handed her the reading my doctor could not react for a while until she said, "this is excellent!"
She even confirmed with me saying, "this is a Normal pregnancy la maa, with no treatment this month" and I said "Yes" to her, but deep inside my heart, I was crying out, that this is not a Normal pregnancy as the medical world would say, but 100% miraculous pregnancy which only our God made it possible.

He is the one who calls out everything out of nothing. I even fell into temptation one Saturday, and so I can't claim
Even a single credit for why He has blessed us. He has blessed us because of who He is! And not because of who we are! I thought of telling you all once 3 months are complete, but can't resist sharing it now.

My prayer buddies prayed for me. Thanks a lot guys for all your prayers! They mean a lot to me. Even now many people give advices not to work so much, don't do this and that. But deep inside my heart I have this newly begun faith that my Lord would never raise my hope and let it sink. Pls keep us and this little one I carry. I am on my 65th day today.

The doctor has suggested that the due date would be post Feb 12th. It was such a good month for us, because in 2002 on Feb 22nd my in-laws lost their daughter when she was 22. I truly believe God is restoring the loss and is conveying us that He has not forgotten us. The month which was so far so bitter for us, is going to the month of miracle. I thank Him for making me write a testimony. He is a miracle working God. All glory to Him!

Sorry for taking so much of your time making you guys read this lengthy one. :)

Baby- after miscarriage

I wanted to share my testimony long back. Got married on Jan 2014. Pregnancy positive on 11th March 2014 . Faced a miscarriage on 23rd March 2014. Me and my family where broken.

Everyone was so happy but it didn't lasted long. I was so depressed and frustrated.  Expecting a missed period every month but my periods where on time.

In building prayer and women fasting prayer everyone upheld us in prayers for pregnancy. Days passed by and we started facing lots of questions from people around us. Pressure from our parents too... Each day back from office I used to cry and pray for a baby.

My hubby left to US in 2015 May and after he came back we went to a small trip to ooty 😍 And the happy news is here by August 2015 I missed my periods. Doctor confirmed my pregnancy by September first week... no words to express our Joy... All praise to God.

March 2016 I delivered a beautiful baby girl - God s gracious 🙂 I thank each and everyone who prayed for us... and God makes everything beautiful in His time. ..

I was staying in urapakam during my pregnancy and God saved us from the floods miraculously in 2015. I praise God for His mercy on us. By God's grace my manager approved sabbatical and I'm still enjoying with my little one. PRAISE God 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Lost slipper - found

Testimony : today afternoon we went out for lunch. As it was so hot outside, we booked a cab to reach the hotel.

On the way my daughter showed us one of her leg, the one with slipper. We couldn't understand what she is trying to convey. After reaching the hotel we noticed one of her slipper is missing.

We went inside and I made a small prayer "Lord please help us find her slipper back". As soon as I prayed I got a call from the cab driver and he told me that he was waiting outside the hotel with the Slipper of my daughter.

Praise God. I couldn't control my Joy. God s mindful of us.. 🙂✌🏼🙌🏼 He cares for even such a silly thing

Higher education

Testimony!! On dec 2016 I wrote my final year MCA semester, that time I was pregnant, eigth month and was eagerly expecting the results.

By May results came and got failed in project and viva. Highly disappointed and applied for re exam. Today got one post and it was statement of marks, along with that I got another paper it was provisional certificate stated that i got passed with first class. Immediately I turned to my statement of marks and got shocked by the mark, I scored 150 marks..
Praise god!!! I have cleared all my papers and completed my MCA. He can do any wonders.. really I am not regular in prayers but yes my God still loves me.. 😊

Miracle baby - after 6 years

I got married in 2011, I had pcod problem and irregular periods before my marriage itself. So after marriage I did laparoscopic operation twice,  I tried IVI twice but nothing worked out,  during the course of 6 years I hv changed 5 doctors,  coz none of them worked out. I had a miscarriage at 2014 (when I was in U.S. ). I even did air test and water test (when I was in denmark) to check for the fallopian tube. Finally last November I did a test and the result was low fertility. The doctor told me that it is difficult for me to conceive normally so she told me to go with IVF.
My husband was against me going to the doctor from the beginning.  He is a prayerful man. He told me to stop believing in medicines and start believing in God
Though I had fail in God,  I was not ready to leave the medicines.

But since the doctor told me to proceed with IVF.  I know that moment itself my husband definitely will not accept it. So I got fed up of all the medicines and the treatment. I threw away all my medicines and stopped taking treatment.

From last November I focussed on my church activities  like Sunday school,  flash mob,  ladies prayer,  prayer walk and vbs
But I always prayed to God that I should get pregnant even though I am not taking any medicines and I have low fertile level. And during the months of vbs march-April I became so obsessed with the preparations of the vbs I totally forgot abt my usual prayer of getting pregnant
And I forgot my periods date. In the month of May when I got my Upt positive answer I went to the doctor she asked my lmp which I can't even remember.
I am the living testimony that " nothing is impossible with God"

Tips to flee temptation

Girls, send some practical tips to flee from temptation

If we try to flee from temptation it will never happen. We should try to overcome temptation with God's word.

Word of GOD - discerner of thoughts.. I start reading Bible, revising Bible verses when I get tempted to use my phone or watch TV...

For example.. One small silly one... I was always tempted to eat one sugary biscuit which I  sudn eat.. But I was not able to overcome it.. First I kept it in unreasonable place.. Even then I will try hard to get it.. Next I had a sticky note in it.. Do not eat...even then I ate though the no of times reduced.. Later I had to think abt consequence as doc told not to eat sugar.. I didn touch after dat..  ... So even sinning... We have to know the deep consequence n pray abt it first..

I learnt even one sin, one day without prayer takes us away from God.. Practical tips won't help... Practical tips are all our efforts.. Real help is from God.. Rely on him n don't try to do with ur strength.. U ll fail

JESUS overcame temptations with the word of GOD.. nothing greater than that.. so pray and the LORD shall help u

Salvation story from orthodox background

Praise be to god alone.

Am basically from Hindu background and very orthodox in all religious activity... one day I went to my native place where my cousin told me about the Christ the lord..that was the FIRST time I heard about the words CHRIST ,SAVIOUR , SIN,HEAVEN,HELL SECOND COMING etc.

Initially I didn't agree with her ....I came back from my native ... and the following is the first incident which gave me some hope(not more) in Christ...while am studying 9th, There was a district level speech competition held and I had the interest to participate in that but here comes the twist .. I had a severe throat infection and then I  decided to give up... but my teachers said lets give a try... then I thought ok let me pray and see what will happen(severe throat pain even am struggling to speak,district level competition etc...)i just prayed(2 mins of prayer) i want to win this competition... not in faith but I tried wat will happen if I pray...  There were 2 rounds of competition ..

To my surprise  I cleared first round.... I thought I may fail in the second round bcz those people in that round are so strong but still I prayed(very little faith) but I WON the FIRST PLACE in the district level competition and got the reward of 3000 in addition and the same came in newspaper as well..my faith started blooming ...

I realised something happens if we pray .. The next day we had one more speech  competition in government schools and my teachers said it is very tough bcz u have throat infection and u cant... this time i said i can...and started to pray (few mins) i should win this also.... I didn't thought i would win but i got the FIRST PLACE in that as well.... my faith increased 20%..as the days passed by the circumstances in my family was worst.... 

I started praying bcz I want to get rid of problems in any way (I use to pray only for few seconds keeping the incident of competition in my mind that something will happen but my faith is not so strong).... since my family is so orthodox i didn't find any church in my home town... that time my faith is 40% .

Then wen I entered my college I found a girl who believes in christ in my hostel and to my surprise she was in my room. Later I started to know more about the lord and salvation...(LOVE AT THE CROSS CHANGED ME)... took baptism etc.....am a third child in my family and my family was not happy on my birth because am a girl...(But they are so so loveable)... but lord chosen me as his first fruit....when world rejects god selects..... i think my mom said some christian nurse prayed for me wen I born in the hospital... from the day I born god took care of  me but like everyone I don't know him  on that time .... one day am about to travel from chennai to my home town ... with no reason i didn't get any bus and am getting delayed for more than 2 hours... i then prayed thinking I may get the bus soon but no use....finally after 3 hours I got the bus and seat....

There was one sister ( she also got delayed  1 hour with no reason) who was sitting behind me ... Then I started the conversation  like   'are u a christian' ...she replied yes... and she s a daughter of the pastor in my home town.. that was the first time i saw her....we started sharing things and I got the address of the church to go...(god is so faithful NOW I GOT THE REASON FOR DELAY).. if something is delayed god is preparing for the best .. thank god for not answering my prayer that time..delay is not a denial....all i need to do is to trust him ... if I got the bus soon I may not got the chance to meet her... god used her as a blessing in my life(I explained her role below).. ...people in my college use to criticise me and my friends for not mingling with them in worldly activities...some times later my spiritual friends went to stay outside for project work but I stayed in hostel ... loneliness made me a mad but god was with me ... no one spoke with me properly but god spok spoke to me through his word Isaiah 41:10 ...fear not , for AM WITH YOU... THOSE WHO TRUST IN THE LORD will never be put to shame ...

God honours who trust in him..God blessed me as the anna university rand holder and Jesus helped me to get 27th university rank all over Tamil nadu.. my college honoured by giving a gold medal on convocation day in front of those people...That s jesus.....faithful one... then there was a campus interview in my college ... wipro was the first on campus company from the day my college started... thank god for arranging on campus for our batch while we are studing in final year.bcz there was no on campus for the past 7 years... this is the first time... am very weak in aptitude and I don't want to be put to shame in front of those people ... so i woke up around 3 in the morning and said to god ... m very weak in aptitude but please help to get through this.. out of around 400 people only 79 cleared apps .. praise to god am one among 79... out of 79 only 32 cleared technical and HR... and am one among 32.. so god chose me one among 400...(AM NOT EVEN A RANK HOLDER AT THAT TIME TO SAY THEY SELECTED ME BECAUSE OF RANK HOLDER) ...This proved me if god wants to give something it doesn't matter who are against us and how many are against us...He will prove he is your Iord..

I called unto the lord he heard me ..Hence proved..... I lacked nothing from the day I started my journey with Jesus...Days passed and wen I joined my work in chennai there was a prayer cell and god thought me more about trials,faith,gods love,gods will etc....my parents started seeing me alliance and they asked me about my thoughts.... I started saying about my faith in Christ with  fear.... they scolded and threatened  me and after 3 years they gave 3 months time for me finally to accept wat they say..... Holy  spirit guided and comforted me in all my waiting period ... His word was the only trust in me....

God made me to put fasting and to pray earnestly for those  3months ..later to my surprise god turned my parents heart to fulfill my desire.... Even now I was surprised how they changed their minds..The sister whom I met in the bus called me and told like am seeing an alliance for you all I need is u have to get permission from ur parents...I prayed lord definitely my mom will not allow for this (to allow someone to see alliance for her daughter is difficult)... but god made to put fast and pray for this... I remembered queen Esther got a favour from the king when she spoke... i claimed this verse lord u please speak to my mom and teach me how should i talk...holy spirit guided me and i called my mom to get the permission to see the alliance through that sister....when i told my mom she immediately said YES...bible rocks .. bible is always true...i thanked god for esther chapter....God honours the one who waits on him patiently ..... i asked god i should get the person with 6 specific character.... but i surrendered to the lord 100%... Finally I got married to the god fearing one who had all the 6 specific character...wen i surrender the situation to the lord and rest in him...he took care of the situation and helped me  to reach the beautiful destiny but all i need  to pay is patience and faith..once I got married I came to Delhi and am more concerned on the job because we don't have our office branch here..but I just prayed and surrendered ... I got married in February and the office branch got opened in march....I realised wat a awesome god I serve...for worldly people it may be different... but I considered it is god who opened the office for me ... specially for me.... Many times I saw the battle from the day of my salvation... but I fought nothing ... the battle belongs to the lord and he gave me victory..... wait on the lord for he is faithful to honour.... This is very crisp testimony ... I failed the lord many times but he never failed me and he proved he is same yesterday,today and tomorrow... can anyone love us like Jesus.... I really doubt... none can love us and care for us except him...All praise,glory,honour be to lord the god alone.... 

Miracle baby- delayed pregnancy

Praise God..  our God is an awesome God... Except me rest of my family Hindus didn't accept the Lord yet.

My sil tried iui twice n didn't work.. I was praying for her normal conception. But she went thru a lot of trauma.

So submitted it to God's will n fasted and prayed. My mom asked me to continue praying when I told her I was praying.. the same month her preg confirmed. And my little niece is 7 months old now. It's by God's grace.

Few of her friends who got treated along with her can't get positive results. It's really our Lord's mighty work. Praise God

Surprise tips

I do that regularly with small surprises to make them feel loved.
Make a dish they like and tell that I made it for you. Spend time exclusively with them to say that you are important. Hear them out . Go out with them, go for a long drive, or for a walk. At times instead of being a mom, wife, in-law I try to become a friend and ask to share. Many times we bombard our loved ones with our emotions or problems but don't ask them the problems they go thru'. I also tell them that they are God's gift to me and special, that makes them feel loved. And pray for their problems and give them the assurance that we are praying. When they make mistakes give them room to correct, even if something they have done has failed, encourage. These are few I d

Sometimes even saved money to get a nice gift for them

Doing a pedicure for the tired feet that works for the family, brings so much of joy to them

Miracle baby- clot, bleeding

When I was carrying my son, from the 2nd month to 5th I had a clot and I used to bleed during pregnancy for 3 months.

I did not even know the consequences and used to cry everyday in the bathroom. With the child growing and bleeding. I didn't have any clue of what was happening.

The doctor had told my husband secretly that there was only 50 % chance for survival and l had to be in bed rest, not allowed to even go the loo or take a bath.

He never shared with me what the doctor had said. Both my mom or in laws could not come.

We had only the Lord as our only support in a new land. My hubby used to do everything for me, cook food, sponge bath.. I learnt a lot. It was difficult time but the Lord was making both of us go thru it all alone.

Days passed and the Lord sent help thru a missionary couple and their family who moved close to our house out of the blue. The sister and her kids used to visit me everyday and tell a story from the Bible. That encouraged me a lot.

The Lord sustained us and our son was born. The Lord allowed all this for His purpose. All glory to Him alone

Pleasing husband - a trap

Just wanted to share something that happened in my life.
Note: Each one is different and situation is also different. We need wisdom to discern it.

When I did things to my husband, my hub was always in complaint mode. Nothing made him happy. I took it on myself to keep him happy. Doing things that would please him. What finally happened was it drove me crazy. He was always sad. Much later came to know that he was stuck in self pity.  But reflected as nothing was any good for him. It was a vicious circle. I was deep stuck in despair and depression. I felt far away from the lord, coz I was trying to do all on my own and I was failing.
Praise God, God rescued me out of that pit and after I was out, lot of prayer lot of months passed to where we can say, we are out of that circle.

We now can read our minds. God has changed both of us so much.we are not trying to please each other or keep other happy, but as we please God and come closer to Him, He draws us close to Himself and to each other husband and wife. The triangle.

Misunderstanding

Even now when I find myself upset with my husband, God reminds me to check my relationship with Him.. and when I set that right and rely on Him, the problems with my husband goes away and we start being happy again... It has happened in more than 1000 times in the last 10 yrs

I used to worry in d past few years Dat my hubby doesn't understand me.. He s egoistic nu.. I have asked you al to pray for me too once... Then I started praying to God wid tears... That's wen God made me realize Dat it's my misunderstanding... And my hubby loves me more...i fail to understand his problems at times... But now we r leading a happy n peaceful life..some times few probs.. And we talk n solve Dat too by God's guidance... Praise God for making me realize things...

Missed appointment

Really our God is the one with who all things are possible.
Yesterday missed my son's school appointment for PTM n really felt very bad abt it.

Took it all on myself when his teacher replied there was not any free slot on both days. She gave me two options either feedback over call or wait till next term. Though it's just nursery my son's first PTM for this year. Can't console myself even after my hubby said it's ok just nursery. I worried n started analysing what went wrong and couldn't sleep at peace.

God helped me as I prayed a little prayer to trust fully in Him n help me do all things with His strength. Slept n morning woke up to read this msg from my buddy Jansi.. didn't even relate it to my situation. Praised God. Sent a msg to teacher that I can hear feedback over call​.

Praise God she called me  to come by 9. It's totally my fault but still our God restores n gives second chance. What a mighty God we serve...

God lifts you up

Girls, one praise point,. In office, off-late I have been having too many back to back meetings.. so I become very tired mentally during discussions.

There were 3 different things that happened where someone said something bad about me/ something against me in meetings but I didn't even understand.

It registered as a momentary "hey I am not sure if they are saying something about me" - when I came home and analyzed, I realized that it was so.

So I prayed to our God and King asking for wisdom, understanding and to be able to respond well (to be assertive and not be a door mat/dumb person).

Yesterday, God lifted my head. Wanted to praise Him in the assembly of righteous people.

Childlike faith

I was wondering how to regain the child like faith until I closely observed little twin girls.

They laugh when we laugh. They imitate what we do. In spite of their uncomfortable circumstances, they still look up to their mom. They give their beautiful smile ever even when they cry. They are not afraid when they are in our hands. Simply speaking, all they want is you to be with them! :)

Now I understand what having childlike faith is! God expects us to have the the same kind of faith toward Him. My FB post few years ago.

To feel child like faith all we need to do is just to watch a child for some minutes

Anger vanished

Another praise point: today day care was closed and my husband was home with my daughter.

I took it easy and stayed an hour late at work networking with important people knowing she is at home with him. When I left work and called him he didn't pick up.

He was angry at me. I get reprimanded by him for prioritising work over family. Usually he scolds and I feel very guilty and bad.

Today I prayed on the way that the Lord speak to him and make his anger go away. When I went home he was normal and didn't scold me. Praise God!

Advice for cheated wife

Priya....Prayers for your friend.... My suggestion
1.It will try to help your friend to go close to God n back to her relationship with her husband.

2. How to handle her emotions during this suspicious time is very challenging phase... There she need to cast her care about her husband on Jesus. She Need someone to listen to her n pray with her as a moral or spiritual n emotional support

3. Her motive should be not to catch him by mistake instead help him to come out of this trap

4. My view your friend may be stuck full time with 3 gals rather spend time with her husband which is his strong need for someone there to spend time with.... Pls check with your friend y becos  Sometimes girls after their birth their time schedule always round around with their kids ... Knowingly or unknowingly ignore their relationship with husband.... Which may lead to friction in bonding....

5. Last her husband alone is not done all or every mistake.... Call girls (Big trap).... In proverb 5 th n 7 th chapter explain about them clearly from God perspective... May God will heal her broken heart n help her to come out n live happy life with him.... Thanks...

Spending time with spouse

My testimony regarding this... Being a house wife and having only one child I found it hard to spend quality time with my husband even with my son...Why becos I thought doing my responsibility like cooking, cleaning,  take care of family members n taking care of their dress , food n health n care for their physical need may satisfy them.... Which they felt I cared  for their need but not loved.... After attending some seminars I come to know about 5 love languages which is really helps me to understand my husband n son's love language ( Quality time) n to address it in a way which they feel loved.... Below are 5 love language:
1. Words of appreciation
2. Quality time
3. Acts of service
4. Touch
5. Gifts.

Bad relationship -healing

I know an elderly couple from our Church. Theirs was love marriage. They have 2 daughters - both working and one got married. That uncle started to have relationship with another lady (with 3 kids) in the same Church - it started by telephonic conversations and then they had physical contacts as well often. This illegal relationship was known to few ladies in the Church and was communicated to his wife indirectly. But that aunty trusted him so much that she scolded the ladies who told her about him to her.

Later, she started finding something wrong with her husband - like hiding his cell phone, taking his phone everywhere even to bathroom. If asked, he would give some silly reasons. Then she started having much doubt on him. So she used to fight with him. He gets irritated on being questioned. One day, he left home and stayed somewhere (in another house) in the same area. She used to call him but he never picked up. He even set up something to have the call forwarded whenever she calls. It was like this.

Then her elder daughter suggested about going to a private detective agency to check on him. Initially that aunty accepted but they prayed well and later she was afraid going to them  as that might result in some other trouble as these are ladies. She said to her daughter that they would pray and the LORD would help them. She didn't communicate this to anyone - even to his relatives. That aunty and her daughter started praying earnestly for this - to help him come out of whatever bondage he was in (they didn't know by then, whom he had relationship with). They fasted and prayed. They waited for 3 months. He came back after 1 month of going out but still the couple didn't speak to each other.

That aunty trusted in the LORD and kept praying with tears everyday. The LORD honored their faith especially that Aunty's faith.

That uncle was much troubled by that lady whom he had relationship with and finally he started to hide himself from that lady, ignoring her phone calls, etc. Then that lady got this Aunty's number and started calling her saying that she wanted to talk to this aunty. This aunty didn't talk to her (by this time, she got to know the relationship with this lady) and avoided her.. that lady kept threatening this uncle that she would spoil his name in the Church, family, etc by telling about his illegal relationship.

Finally, that uncle explained that aunty about what all happened. That aunty was so loving and forgiving that she accepted him. Then she picked up that lady's call and scolded her that she knew all about their relationship and also to better avoid calling them. She also told her that she would even convey this to her husband.

Then she stopped calling them. Even when called, they stopped picking up. They moved to a different place now and are living together. Now that uncle has started praying fervently confessing his sins..

That elder daughter is close to me and shared this with me earlier. She accepted to have it shared here anonymously.

Our GOD is so awesome and when we put our trust in HIM, HE does mighty things.

Stranded without purse

Testimony time

Took the kids out to zoo yesterday as it's school holidays and we've annual pass. Booked the cab and took d mobile. Asked my daughter to keep my wallet in the bag. (My mistake and lesson learnt.) Reached zoo and searched my wallet to get the zoo pass.

To my shock it was not in. I didn't chk b4 starting. Furious at my daughter but still God gave me patience n helped me understand my fault and we prayed right in front of the entrance. Didn't pray b4 starting😒 and for days too. But God is still faithful.

Met all our needs. We were in want of nothing as He is our Shepherd Psa 121:1. Reached back home safe after a day loaded with fun n memories. Though I forgot/ignore to seek Him God helped me n never let  a me down. I was too barrassed to seek His hand for my need rather His face..

Praise God... 2 Tim 2:13
if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.

Lost and found 7k

Testimony: When I went to native last week, I had nearly 7000 in a purse and kept inside my travel bag. Before returning I saw the purse.

I did not unpack my luggage. Morning when I was in office my hubby called and said that the purse is missing and that he has searched every place possible. He started shouting. I told him to check thoroughly but he wasn't ready to hear. I was very worried and prayed. My mom too searched the rooms and it wasn't there.As soon as i came back and checked it was inside the same bag inside a zip which my hubby did not check.Praise God

Marriage after father's death

I would also like to share my testimony.. i lost my father all of a sudden 4 yrs back.. I spoke to him the night before and early morning I received a call that he's no more.

I was shattered.. and my sister's marriage was just a month away.. even though we were strong in prayer and born Christian, my family lost all hope and joy. My sisters marriage got over by His grace and I brought my mother to chennai.

Our trial period started after that.. me and my mom were alone ,left in depression, financial crush , loneliness, no hope for my future nd wat not. But God held us close to him ,consoled me and spoke to me and lead me as appa with so much love that I literally felt his fatherly love.

Then came my marriage discussion and I had nothing in hand. I prayed like a child asking yesappa i want this i want that.. I am even now amazed at how he led my wedding. He did all that I asked for.. fr example like I prayed i should not get loan , I should wear only gold and not imitation , I want lehenga for reception, i even told what design and colors I want and he gave me all that..

Now I am married for over 6 months and he has blessed me so abundantly.. his mercies are great.. though am not worthy his love is incomparable..

Travel with kid- long drive

We went for a small trip after 4 years. We were very sceptical whether my hubby could drive all d way coz he is quite sick.

But God guided us beautifully n there was no issue anywhere.We dint even book accommodation but wen we reached there we got a good room .Thank God for all his mercies.

Lost and found- 9 year old laddle

Praise God. It would sound silly if I say I got my stainless steel 9 yrs old ladle(karandi🥄) I took to beach for a get together. Though I thought it's time to let go n didn't pray to get it back.

God is so mindful of our tiniest concern. Got it from my husband's colleague a week later. And joy for the lost n found ladle reminded me of our Father's Love. Though old unworthy still we're precious in His sight

Lost and found- a brand new dress

Hi All. I have a small testimony to share. This happened yesterday. After church we went shopping yesterday. We had to get a dress for my 2.3 year old daughter. We went to the shops we normally go but didn't get anything we liked. Since its autumn here they had only warm clothes.

So we went to Myer which is kinda costly for us. But we got a beautiful white dress which my daughter liked so much. So we purchased it.

On the way back home in the train I somehow missed that bag. We didn't realize it until we got home. I got upset but my husband went immediately to the central station and checked in lost and found.

The dress had been returned and we were able to get it within two hours. I thank the lord for listening even to our small prayers. 😀

Miracle baby- pcod

I got married when I was 30. I have never had my periods regularly since I was 11. It was always once 2 or 3 months. PCOD they said. When I was a teen, I had taken numerous treatment for it to make it regular. But I was always anaemic.had taken iron shots for 10 days. It's regular for  2 months and then back to it schedule.

I had imagined that I would have to adopt a child after marriage and even spoke about it to my fiance before marriage!
After marriage, my husband expected a baby immediately. As usual my periods were delayed and irregular.  Unable to bear the persistency at home, went to doc to regularise my periods. In 3 months I was pregnant. God helped me deliver a healthy baby, normally when I was 32.

I got preggy again and after 3 years​, God gave another baby.

Praise be to God alone.

Rescued from death

It's been more than seven years and I still couldn't forget that day. I was from a normal Christian background family and I had several issues as others during my teen and youth days. I thought my parents especially my mother doesnt love me the way she loves my brother and being an elder son, he always gets everything needed. I didn't realise that it was the trust factor that I could take care of anything made them to stay away from me and concentrate on my brother.

During my teenage i started hanging around with my friends and they started playing a role in my life than my parents. That's when she came in, my cousin whom I loved so much and happen to be my best friend. After finishing my college and after so much struggle I was placed in a good company and added to it, my cousin from another city also came to chennai to pursue her career in a different company. Both the companies are very near to each other and hence we meet often as she stayed in a room. Our hang around have become such a way that she has become everything in my life and I started expecting her to concentrate on me alone which has become a problem for her. Yes, that is called possessiveness. And days rolled by. And she had the same love i had for her.

But, suddenly one day she stopped talking to me, stopped attending my calls…. My world has shattered down and I couldn't concentrate on my work and I started bunking my office.  My parents couldn't understand the struggle which I am undergoing. So, there was no one to share. Christ didn't come into my mind.

That was the day, I attempted suicide by drinking the acid in the bathroom. After a second, I heard a whisper in my ears,'You have to live. So go and inform your mother immediately'. The voice was very high. I couldn't avoid it and I didn't get the guts to tell my mom that i drank the acid. So I went and told my sister what I have done. When my mom heard what I said, she took the broom stick nearby and started beating me.

Then I was taken to a nearby hospital with the help of my brother friends. I was not allowed to get admitted in the hospital as it was a suicide case. They need a complaint to be filed with the police. Time run by and that's when one of my brother's friend who is into politics helped us to get admitted in the hospital without any police complaints.

After the treatment I locked myself in a room and I use to sit with lights off. I would call psychiatrist and go to them for treatment. But nothing helped. I became so mad. I didn't eat well.

That's when my friend from college came to visit me and like all mother's my mom too said everything to him. And he gave me a bible to study saying, 'God alone is a big psychiatrist'. That's when I started reading the bible more and in one of the meeting, I surrendered myself to God. I was soaked in the love of Christ then which made me to realise that I was totally wrong with the thoughts I had about my parents. They equally loved me but they didn't show off.

Now, here am I, a new creation, saved only by Him and for Him alone to bear the witness.

Note:
Don't take all the voice s that comes into your mind. If it is bringing you confusion, destruction, stealing your joy, that is not from God.
It is Satan who comes like a thief to steal our joy and when he comes, rebuke him. Christ has come to give us life and when we surrender to Him, everything around us will change completely and will look beautiful.
And, He is the only One who will show us the true love and No one will love us like Him.

Victory in death

Umakaga thanae ayya naan uyir vazgiraen ayya (It's for you I live alone)
intha udalum ullam ellam anbar umakkaga thanae ayya (My soul, heart and everything belongs to you, my Lord)'
I love this song..... Whenever I feel I am left alone, and in desperate conditions, God always reminds me I live for Him alone. But it is
hard to live on those lines in this world.  Anyone will agree with me. Most often when we are surrounded by trials, we often ask God, "Why did it happen to me, Lord? If God is in control, how could He let it happen to me?" But, often we see the present and forget about our future. We forget that God always has the best for us. When God molds, He is preparing a great treasure for us too.

The below is my testimony, though with pains and fear, I believe that God is in control and He always does what is good to me.

I got married in May 2012, and as everyone expects myself and my husband were longing for the good news in our house. We use to pray, "Lord, let everything be done in your perfect time alone".  I know, God will do everything in His time as some man of God blessed us saying, "God will bless your generation".  But that day, on April 1st, 2013, I was praying to God, "Lord you have promised me to bless me with a child. It's gonna be 1 yr now since my marriage. And nothing happened.  What plans do you have in my life?" Whenever these questions arise in my mind, God asks me to wait. That whole week, God was speaking with me with the verses from I Samuel, where Hannah was praying to God and
as God promised, she is blessed with a child.  I took it as confirmation and was praising God for hearing my prayers. His plans are always different. Also, He was always showing me the verse where Hannah promised God to dedicate her child - "And she made this vow: "O Lord of Heaven's Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you, He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign that he has been dedicated to the Lord, his hair will never be cut" - I Samuel 1:11(NLT)".

This verse got deep-rooted in my mind and I understood what God was expecting from me. I surrendered myself and gave God a promise that my first-born was for your service, and shared the same with my husband.

Meanwhile, one man of God prophesied to my mom that I will get conceived that month. It was May 20, 2013.  I was very tired and there were some changes in my mind and body and when we went to the doctor, she confirmed that I am carrying. I along with my husband was praising God for all He did in our lives. Days were running and I felt the spirit of God lying with my baby.

I was sure that my child was a chosen one for God. And I also had a chance to meet a family with my friend who were about to travel to abroad. When we were in prayer I felt the Spirit of God and the brother who was praying for me said that he saw my womb glowing. What else will make a mother happy? I was happy that my son will become an ambassador for Christ.  I was in clouds writing poems about my son and singing songs for him. To my surprise he was very active. Doctors were surprised seeing him so active in my womb.

October became the busiest month for me because of my brother's marriage. And after my brother's marriage some questions arose in my mind as if someone was asking it to me, "Will you give your son to me as promised now?"  I was totally confused as I thought that voice to be my imagination.  I just prayed, "Lord, I know nothing will stop my Son growing for you. I can feel it. Be with him, guide him and use him as you wish".
The next day was so awful for me. It was October 26. I didn't feel the movement of my baby and went to the doctor. She said she was not able to hear the heartbeat and I was asked to take scan immediately.  I felt like God was doing something and this will be a miracle. I didn't lose my faith but I just couldn't understand what was going on. "The baby will be safe", this was the only thought running in my mind. I just started talking with God in my mind and asked my friend to send a prayer request to everyone.

But things were not as I expected. The scan report said that my baby's heartbeat stopped and the doctor asked me to get admitted in hospital and they were arranging to take my baby out.  I just thought, "What on earth was happening and why was it happening to me?" My eyes flooded with tears. Many were praying for me and were giving hope to me. Till last minute, I believed that nothing would happen to my child and I surrendered totally to God. One of my friends, who prayed for me, said there are angels visiting me and something great will happen.

Doctors were surprised to see me sitting without pain and they tried to take my baby out that night. It was about 1.30 am on Oct 27. My baby was born. He was so cute, fully formed with lots of hair (as God showed me) but he was dead. I was uncontrollable. The doctors were not able to give reasons for my baby's death as they found me and my baby healthy. But everything happened for a purpose and according to His will alone.
One of my friends who prayed for my baby fervently said that she saw a boy angel taken into heaven and a sister sent me a message, "God has taken your first born for the heavenly choir and the rest will be yours".  She doesn't even know about my promise to God and my friend too sent a same message.

Though I am into worldly pain, I was happy that God chose my child to be with Him. As job said, "God gives and takes away", I bless the one who gave me and took away my child. My friend, who came to visit me, said, "Don't ever question God for the things happened?"

Though it made me strong in Faith, sometimes, some thoughts often pondered into my mind disturbing me. But God knows our heart right.
I know a missionary who was working among terrorists in Kashmir. He often came in my dreams for the past one week and was trying to convey something to me. But I couldn't understand anything. I got a call on 14th November from an unknown number. To my surprise, it was the missionary. He lost my number somewhere and was trying to contact me for the past one week. Somehow, he got my number he called me. He said, "God wants me to tell you something". I got shocked and he continued saying, God wants to tell you that you have trained your son well. He sung well and God loves hearing his song in heaven". I said in a surprise," What? "He said, this God was urging me to tell you for the past one week and he also said the song which I usually sing when my baby was in my womb. The missionary, who spoke to me, didn't know anything happened here and he was saying "I don't know why God was pushing me so much to tell you this." I explained him everything happened here and said, "If someone who knows everything have called and said these, I will trust in God but there will be a chance for me to think that they are trying to console me, but now I can't doubt God at all right".

I praise God for choosing my son in His heavenly choir. I know it will be very hard for us to forget when we lose some one. But God has some plans in our life. When we are engulfed with sorrow and despair with the thoughts, "Where is God?" Despite personal stress and painful circumstances, we can be confident that God is sovereign and He is in control of our life-boats.  When we walk through tough situations, and if we focus on the waves of difficult situations around us without faith in Jesus, we may despair and sink.  But remember always, that God has some purpose in our life and His plans are always for our good and trust Him to walk in His faithfulness.

His peace always will be with us and I am sure that I will be meeting my child in heaven someday. Everything He did was for a purpose. It might be a testing time for us or God is preparing us for something greater.

I am thankful to everyone who prayed for my family in tears. It's not that our prayers were unanswered but God has a better plan for us is what I believe. Hoping to see you all soon

Appraisal

Last 2 yrs my hubby got rating 1 highest.

For last year he was more worried that he might get the 4th last rating. I told him to leave it to God. And I asked him to speak to his boss, he spoke to him that lot of challenges, new role after  promotion, many challenges and learnt few lessons this year..etc. It is bad if I would get 4th rating as I have put more effort etc.

His boss listened and said will see.And we left to God. Last week we came to know that he got   rating 3😊. My hubby felt happy. Last night he told that he got bonus 1.8lacs. We praised God.  Today we came to know that for the one who got rating 4 doesn't get the bonus amount. All glory to God. Nothing is impossible with God. 👍 vallamai ullavar😁
