Rollercoaster

*#Testimony2022*

2022 has been an unexpected rollercoaster ride . 

My husband had to have a surgery in Jan. Joyce took care of the kids during those hospital days. What followed were not that great, but God sustained, healed us and delivered us throughout. 

We moved the girls to a new school, and had to move to a new house near school. 

I thank God for the miraculous way he led us in getting the admissions, a house JUST next door to school, an individual house with a Christian owner! Lilybel has got a Christian playschool too. God has answered our prayers by helping the girls get adjusted to the new house,  new school, new teachers and friends, cursive handwriting, cbse board, and helped to excel as well. I can see that God had graciously guided them. 

As many of you knew God had blessed us with a good amazing maid akka for the past 9 years. She was the one who raised my kids and took care of all the household things. But she couldn't come to the new house. We had a temporary maid for 2 months,but it didn't work out.  So since September we have been without a maid. Whatever things I thought I could NEVER do in my life, God has taught and helped me do it every single day. Cooking, cleaning, washing, drying, folding 😋. With wfh and kids returning by 12.30 pm, 2.45 pm , it had been a busy schedule. Joyce has been my inspiration and so have many of you.  

I thank God for holding me throughout all the ups and downs and teaching me every day. This year had been a year of new learnings , lot of 'first time ever' experiences and a year of discipline. Keep our family in your prayers, for wisdom to handle everything at home, especially growing kids and work ; and to follow God's leading in building his kingdom and  also for my husband to get a good job. 

I almost forgot, the n number of times kids and us have fallen sick, God has healed us and sustained me through handling sickness phase of kids. 

Only when you look back and write you learn how beautifully God has fulfilled this 'தாங்குவேன்; ஏந்துவேன்,  சுமப்பேன், தப்புவிப்பேன்.'

Isaiah  46:4 . And I stand humbly at his awesome amazing doings in our lives. Praise and glory be to our King of Kings, Jesus!

Rocking for Christ

Testimony 

One of my Resolution -

I took the New year Resolution 2022 was

"Need to distribute 365 Tracts within 31st Dec 2022"

Few of my genuine friends such as Juice seller amma, Beautician sister and Cobbler anna accepted to give it to their customers, my family and few other helped me to distribute and by God's grace successfully distributed 365 Tracts by 31st Dec 2022.

All glory to God

Alleluia

For your information

------‐-‐‐‐----------‐-----------‐-'

Out of 365 Tracts, 1 or 2 ladies rejected to get it, remaining all happily acknowledged and accepted to get the same.

It motivated me to decide, this year New year Resolution 730 Tracts (double of 365) to be distributed by 31st  Dec 2023.

Will keep Rocking for Christ💐

God who loves and upholds

Prayer Request and praises! 

Dear sisters, please pray for both our boys (4.5) and (1.5), down with severe cough and fever. 

Joshua has wheezing and his congestion got worse and developed into pneumonia. He's admitted in the ICU last night. Pray that he will recover soon and will come out of ICU soon. 

I'm 36 weeks pregnant with our third child. My husband and I are taking turns being with him in the ICU. Pray that the Lord will heal both the kids and give us the strength and grace to go through this.

Thank you all dear sisters for your prayers. Joshua is getting better but is still in the ICU. They have reduced his high flow oxygen support from 23L/h to 15L/h. He's slowly getting his appetite. Pray that he will be moved out of ICU soon and for a miraculous healing..

Thank you so much for all your prayers! Last night around 9pm they moved Joshua out of ICU and into the ward. As of this morning he is off Oxygen support too and seems to be doing okay. God willing if his intake is OK and his Saturation is maintained they will discharge him tomorrow. Praise God! Continue to pray!

This was a song that encouraged me a lot during my son's ICU hospitalization. I know some of you have been through even worse situations. And I realized it is easy to encourage someone to hold on and stay strong, but to actually be held to the fire and say like Daniel's friends, even if You don't Save us from this, we will still trust You, is an experience of knowing God on a whole new level . 

Grateful for the experience God gave us as a family this week. Taught us a lot about how children are a gift from the Lord entrusted into our care for a time and we raise them up in His ways, knowing anytime anything can change. 

This experience helped us to talk to our older son too about salvation, depending on the Lord and trusting Him. 

Thank you once again to all those who prayed, to the many who reached out personally and on the group to encourage and offer help! Praising God for each one of you! 🙏🏽🙌🏽♥️

Tamil trouble miracle

Small Testimony to encourage all mom's: My son Benjamin (10yr old) always had dislikes about leaning and writing Tamil. Already he used to make our life difficult everyday to take him to school and homeworks or studies he did it with a tough exercise for me and him.adding to it Tamil is something he used to run away and I always requested his Tamil teachers to take extra care for him at school as I couldn't deal with him and I remembered he had 30mins extra classes when he was in 2nd std as he didn't know to recognize the letters too.More than.marks or academics I was concerned that somehow he should learn to read and write his mother tongue well.(I have seen few,who can't read or write Tamil properly.who disliked Tamil.in young age)..In the covid ,things became more worse and taking him was a big challenge.Back again to school graciously as i testified earlier he became interested in school and studies but attitude towards Tamil did not change. Making him read two lines everyday and dictation words and other techniques did not work with him as he did not give his heart for it..But I kept praying abt this and kept taking little efforts whenever possible..

*I have to read out lessons for him and explain meaning

*Qp also he doesn't know to read properly and he wrote different answers..

Two days back he took out the Tamil book (5th STD) and read the whole lesson all by himself (3pages) with minimum mistakes. All glory to God alone..If any of u are struggling in any area with ur child..our prayers and small efforts God will honor..

Miracle baby

Short testimony:Priscilla celebrated her 6th birthday on July 21(sorry for the day in writing this).I was reminded about how I concieved her and was pressed in my spirit to write the goodness of God.In 2016, I conceived and had slight bleeding in the first few.weeks and was told I had a clot and I have to be on complete bed rest and we need to wait to know if this baby will grow well.I was feeling very low.

On top of i was facing lot of misunderstanding and strife in my marriage.i Felt lonely, unloved and depressed(couldn't even share things with my non believer parents and siblings) and had intense suicidal thoughts twice during the pregnancy.But our Living Lord graciously sent His word in the Sunday messages and thru our fshp friends and comforted me.When it was fifth month,still doctors did not assure if the baby was fine and they said there could be some growth impacts.My husband was also very upset and he said let's not procede with this pregnancy as it will become fatal for my health if the pregnancy is terminated at a later stage.

But I kept trusting the Lord and by 7th month scan the clot disappeared but still doctors have no assurance on full baby growth.Even during C-section there was difficulty in taking her out and I saw the doctors little tensed snd talking among themselves and out of fear I started praying out loud in the theatre saying..Lord please protect my child...

She is a miracle baby born Hale and healthy amidst all the difficulties we went thru...Even thenon believer doctor later confessed it was only God's hand...Hallelujah..

Thanking God for His goodness for giving us Priscilla who shows so much of love to me and even if my husband raises his voice against me,she will be right there to defend me and the whole situation. Will cool down..I see Gods love and comfort thru her....All glory to God.. Remember her in ur prayers..
