My mom had a tough pregnancy and had almost nearly lost me . Many were covering us in prayer during that time. The nuns in the convent, I have been told were offering prayers for us ,when mom went into labour .My parents not only prayed for a healthy and normal child but also pleaded with God for a girl child as the older two were boys. 

And then I arrived,frail,feeble,shivering,a tiny baby girl. An answer to their prayers. The  nuns in the convent wished to be the ones to give me a name and they decided to name me - Mini !! Not knowing that the tiny child would grow up to be so very tall that people would call her 'maxi' ! 

Being tall,in my school days caused me so much of embarrassment. People used to look at me as if I came from some other planet. In the northeast of India where I grew up and did my schooling and college most of them typically have an average height which was 5:5 and I exceeded that by 4 inches . 

It really now amuses me when I look back to those years . We are just not happy with what we are blessed with . It always appears that the boy or the girl next door is much happier and perfect in every way . Short people would do anything to be tall . Dark complexioned  people would do anything to be fair . India I think is the only country that sells fairness creams for both men and women, such is the need that we have . Ironically we also have a group of people who would  brave the scorching heat with their sun tan lotions to get a brown or tan complexion . Women with curly hair love straight hair and vice versa. Why is grass always greener on the other side 🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I think each one of us have at some time been through that phase in our lives. I now love myself for who I am after all I have been fashioned and created perfectly and uniquely by our Master and God .  

If you are still in doubt like doubting Thomas from the Bible ( ironically that’s my last name 😀), then I have sufficient evidence that I would like to share . 

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
Psalms 139:13-16 

Each one of us are unique and perfect because we are His masterpiece. 
Praise God for that ! Love yourself for you are perfect just the way you are ♥️

The Watch Repairer

Image
Couple of my watches required battery replacement …. but oufff the price in this region to change the battery can be more expensive than buying a new watch 🫠 However we figured out the place where we could get original batteries at half price and with a guarantee for 2 years .. woooo that was amazing .  The watch repairer was a very unassuming person who took his tools and carefully opened the side of the watch where the battery had to be replaced.  And boy the insides of the watch looked so amazing … intricately done and it needed someone with precision and understanding to get the watch working again . He also cleaned the inside and reset the time, date and in few minutes my watch was working and looked as good as new with a little bit of cleanup too in the inside and outside !! This got me thinking !! We have been made so wonderfully and crafted so intricately in the inside. When we come to the end of our resources or feel depleted within, come to the Maker. He calls us to draw fro

I AM NEW

Image
I was in a bit of a hurry when I went to the local supermarket last week. The lady who was supposed to help me with packing the condiments & dips seemed to be from another planet . She looked lost , confused and irritable. I did not have much time to be able to deal with her mood swings.  However something caught my eye. There was a badge this lady was adorning which said “ I am new here". Well that explained it all !!! She was not able to understand things well and might still been trying to navigate her way through.  Suddenly my perspective changed and there was a paradigm shift.  I became more patient and kind towards her in my approach. I bought the things on the list and left the place wishing her all best in her new role ✨!!  I then thought to myself- wish I had a badge on me which would read  “ a sinner , saved by grace alone”, or “ bear with me as I am not perfect “, or “ extend me grace when I fall ” or “ forgive me, I do make mistakes”  May be if I had them on, thing

What’s your trigger

Image
  When our little dachshund Coffee, was tiny and when we all had to step out , we had to keep her closed in the kitchen . The kitchen has three doors , so it was a bit of challenge to keep her in and have the doors  closed as she would dash out from the other. So we had to strategically close two doors and leave her in and shut the door on her. This was done only for three months period as we then had a help who became available full time. It is now four years and Coffee is also four + , but whenever a door is shut, specially the kitchen door she panics and gets fearful with the thought of being closed up again !! Most of us also get triggered when we are reminded of an event or situation in the past and we feel overwhelmed and fear takes over . It probably may be something we went through as a child or even in our growing up years or even as an adult .  Are we then called to be in that place of fear and anxiety and not move ahead in life ? The answer is NO ! As believers we have been
