Relationship with In-laws restored.

Basically, I have got very loving parents-in-law. Both are doing some kind of ministries now. I never felt, that am away from my family (after marriage), until I left for delivery to my parent’s place. When I was pregnant, my mother-in-law used to get up early and cook for me before I leave to office at 7.15 AM. I had work pressure at office and I used to be very tired, due to pregnancy. Both my in-laws and my husband, made sure that I have everything that I need. My husband used to peel pomegranate every day and keep it in the box, daily and will make my lunch bag ready. My Father-in-law will make sure that I have my favorite sweets at home. After delivering my baby boy, there started misunderstandings between my parents’ family and my in-laws family. Though, there were mistakes from both sides, it brought misunderstanding between me and my husband too. Whenever he calls up, it would end up in fight. I got frustrated and felt very depressed. And my relationship with my heavenly father also got deteriorated. It showed some physical problems as well. Eight months after delivery, when I came to Chennai (my in-law’s place), the situation become still more worsened. I was not able to tolerate the mistakes they did/do, sometimes I comment in front of them, whenever I get a chance. Though it pricked me sometimes, I could not control my tongue. I couldn’t live a peaceful life. After doing all these, I will cry in my lonely time with God. Slowly, God made me to realize the mistakes that I did and helped me to forgive whatever they did. Praise the Lord!! Though, I may get reminded of, God helped to understand their situations and made me learn how to lead through. Both my in-laws used to tell something good about me to others, atleast when I am around. This also, made me think well about them. Though, I have not told the goodness about them, many a times, but I love to do it now. I believe this is one of the qualities to build up a good relationship. I recommended this to my Mom too, a tip to treat her daughter-in-law. God is helping me, to hear what they say and obey to it. It was quite hard, difficult initially, as it is God who said, there is no turning back. God expects to obey elders, for we are children of God. Even now, God is teaching me, to teach my son, to give respect/obey to what they say and to show his love to them. My father-in-law is so attached to my son and so is my son to both my in-laws. Sometimes, I tried to overrule what they say. But, what they said had only happened. So, I stated leaving it to God. I have noted many times, He wants us to respect elders. If I find something is not acceptable, God is helping me to leave it in prayer. And God takes over. There are some issues still, but I believe that God is at work. He will resolve everything. I Praise God, for he took over my life and brought back the peace. I pray that I should not destroy the peace, but to multiply it in folds that we have now. Thanks for reading!! Praise the Lord!! Amen!

Miracle Baby- Born after a still baby

As we are going to celebrate the second birthday of my daughter next month, I am sharing that testimony too. Many knew that, I lost my first baby when he was 7 months in my womb. After that loss, God brought me out from that incident miraculously. It was a very difficult time for us. Though I kept myself busy with activities and many thought I was happy, that wasn't the case. I use to cry everyday and every night. And also i was pressurised from my in law side that once the baby is lost, the next one will come soon. Days run by and I started hearing so many things from my in law s and as well as from my parents side. Many suggested so many doctors. They asked to go for a check up to find out if there is a problem in me or with my husband. My husband stood firm with me supporting me always. And at last I was forced to go to to a doctor saying she is 'kairasi doctor'. She gave me some medicines and asked me to.come regularly. I started praying already and that day i cried to God, 'Lord, if there is going to be a child in my womb let it be through you and I don't want someone else to get the name'. I didn't take the medicine for a week and my periods also got delayed. On my birthday, God gave me a surprise gift that I was pregnant with my second one. I jumped out of joy and praised him.and we continued to go to the doctor which was suggested by my aunt and about 5 months i went and i couldn't find peace in her treatment. Because she insisted fear on me asking me to be on completed best rest or else i might lose the second one too as the first one. I cried everyday to God. And i told mom, let us go to another doctor. She didn't even give us medicine slips. So I doubted her. And at last we came to know that she is not a gynec at all. We were confused where to go and that's when my regular doctor showed me a hospital at vela Chery. I felt so much peace over there. She encouraged me.alot. though she is not a.Christian, she encouraged me to pray. She asked not to fear and do all the activities. She boosted me up. It was so hard for me to overcome the fear. Even i was under fear when my daughter was born. That's when I started hearing the song 'overcomer' by mandisa and i start3d submitting to God. When I was on 36th week, my doctor said, the baby is full term and let us induce pain and take out the baby. Let us not take any risk as we didn't know the reason for the loss of first one. We went with her advice though I strongly felt it would be a normal delivery. I was admitted in hospital and was monitored. Before inducing itself, my pain started normally. So she said let us wait. I was in hospital with pain for one day and I got tired and slept off. They got so nervous as they couldn't imagine me sleeping with the pain. But God helped me to sleep. Peacefully! The next day my pain was severe and I was taken into labor room. The chief doctor herself attended my case and I even bit her during my pain when trying to push off. I was hearing the song 'Overcomer' in the delivery room. And there she was showing off her little head and came outside to see this wonderful world. The thing is I was so confident it would be a boy when I got pregnant. I was searching for boys name. But before she was born, a week before, the Lord showed me it is a girl, and he showed me the name,' which mean a gift from the Lord. And we got a verse like she would be praising Him always and we named her (which comes from the Hebrew word which is psalms) or it is a form of worship. So we named her so and there she is filling our life with joy. He has turned our sorrows into joys. If anyone is criticizing you for baby and if you are waiting for a baby for a long time, hold on. He who brought you a spouse will bless you with a child soon at His time. Children are a heritage from God which means that they are from God and if they are born when He wished to send them into this world, it would be more blessing. God bless you all.

Mad on Vicks and rice

I was mad on using vicks and eating rice.. I used to carry in a small purse wherever I go.This is for long time guess almost ten years. I used vicks when it was rs. 3.00. Many used to remember me with these two.

My parent and sisters were feeling angry about  it.. But I couldn't leave that habit even I felt that is bad. Atleast smell I need to have and 3rices. I used get these two from days scholar when I'm in hostel and sometimes rice from storehouse.

All on a sudden I was thinking and feeling about this and kept in prayer.for first time. Daily I used to pray.. For this exclusively and for my self control.

God has heard. And wonderfully answered. I slowly changed then I'was not addict to that. Even now in my known circle used to speak about my self control on these.

Really this may be small habit... But whenever I used to think oncontrolling anything I used to think of if it and carryon.. With prayers...

I used to prayer for silly things.. And also whatever I feel for. Lord will answer in his own way... Our temptation may be so different but God will rescue from that.. Unknowingly from us...

TV addiction- shocker

Testimony as we are praying for TV addiction:

I was a TV addict once especially to Hindi movies. I can say the songs and the music. I use to jump and come to hall if I  hear a song that I love.. even I've fall down once in steps while running to watch the song which I love and have got a cut in my chin. I even have that today (it reminds me always).

When I accepted Christ, I had a fight with my flesh that I shouldn't watch movies. I use to shut myself in the room when everyone was watching or use to run out to avoid watching movies. And later when I started myself locking myself with His Word, and started praying about it, i still don't know how I overcame that.

Now i don't have any feelings towards it. Yes, i do watch some movies now a days but not like an addicted one. Overcoming is not easy but when we let Him in, we can.

I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me 😀

TV addiction kid

I have a praise point to share related to tv.

Actually my elder daughter has this craze of watching TV. We bought only some 8 months before. Initially I used to take the tv remote when I go to clinic. Her tv time is 1hour that too when I'm at home. She was ok with this rule.

Then I  trusted her & started leaving remote at home. But when her summer vacation started, she started watching TV both in the morning & evening after I leave for work, that too without my knowledge. Oneday I got to know it. Felt very bad& prayed. Then started hiding the remote when I go.

Oneday I heard her singing some song with Hindu names(comes in some cartoon). I was shocked to hear it. But I told her, this is some Hindu stuff. Jesus doesn't like this. That's y I always  tell u not to watch TV when I'm not there. You r a kid & u doesn't know what to c & what not to. By God's grace she is better now.

Now I leave remote at home & she doesn't watch too. She keeps herself occupied with other stuffs. Praise God for this. But still she  struggles in this. Keep her in ur prayers.
