Being present

Love is such a powerful thing. Love can do so many things to you. True love leaves such a deep mark on you. I was on a trip for three weeks to India, UAE and Israel and boy.. did I have the time of my life! I din't do anything ordinary but made sure I was there.

Bangalore was just amazing coz that was one place where I was just present and I saw God move in mysterious ways. Dad asked me to speak to 50,000 people which of course is not a big crowd but the pressure of addressing all those people-yu need to tell them things God wants to tell them. Being an instrument for God's voice for all those people is a lot. But I guess it was added pressure coz I had been out of it for almost 10 months; and one day stepping back into it and preparing for it was overwhelming. But hey.. Guess what happened! God asked me to speak to the young people about what had impacted me the most. So I decided to speak to them God honoring our dreams and making our dreams come true. I spoke to them about Joseph's dreams and how they came true.

My dream has come true in so many ways. I've wanted not a lot but the few things I really wanted, I'm seeing them come true. Those dreams were huge to me-like traveling. I've always wanted to travel the world, meet different people, listen and witness their take on life, eat all kinds of food, experience the simplest things in life. This is one of my dreams and I'm seeing it come true in so many different levels. Speaking to these people, I had tears in my eyes coz I am witness to living my dream. Standing there and telling them God can make the smallest of yur dreams come true was so overwhelming because is so undoubtedly true.

The response I got was unbelievable. First, I was not scheduled to speak to them and when I did just submitting myself to HIS will, I saw results. These responses and thanks should not have been directed to me as I did nothing except being present. That day I felt so content. Just so grateful how God uses a girl with the smallest desires to impact so many lives. So many emails, fb messages, tweets, Instagram comments of how God spoke to them thru me. So unexpected! So overwhelming. That day I learnt that it's not about me, not about how I try to present things. At the end of the day, it's about being present and letting God use you. It's about them. It's about submitting your desires to a superior power who knows what is best for you because He loves you.

Love can do so much for you. True love can take you so many places. I felt like flying that day. I felt like I was above the skies, floating on some great presence. Love so tender that you want to let go of yourself and not worry about where you are heading, where that love is taking you. I chose to be blinded that day, I chose to let go and I flew. Flew so high, I din't want to come back.

More to come..

Walking into 2017

Looking back at 2016 brings back so many emotions. It was a year of letting go some relationships that held deep emotional value, letting go of projects that I thought were of high worth, and making some of life's toughest choices. I learned truly that without pain, there is no gain. I do, however want to say that in every step of the way, God has been there for me. Every time my mind said there possibly could not be another way, God came in and said, "this is the way. Walk in it." Every time I chose to obey and walk in it, the pain that came with making that decision was non-existent. It felt so light putting my trust in one who I know would not disappoint and who sees things farther than what I see. Knowing what He wanted me to do was not easy. I had to struggle to find the will of God. I went through physical pain, mental stress, emotional exhaustion and just plain hitting a wall, knowing I can't move anymore. Amidst that distress, one tear from the bottom of my...

Second Life

I came across this phase called the second life in one of my text books. I did some research on life after death and wanted to find out what the similarities were to second life. For those of you who don't know what second life is.. Second life is like avatar land (for lack of a better term). People go into sleep mode or a gaming console and begin a video game life. This time it's not game but it's actual life where you can have a salon, church, family, grocery store.. Whatever you want. The one good thing about it is you actually get paid for what you do. Be it income or investment, it will all be transferred to your bank account. So yes, you can make money with your eyes closed. http://secondlife.com/whatis/ Here's an article about how second life affects real life http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1739601,00.html Turns out, what you are in your head is what you are in second life. You are the judge of who you are. Well, this makes me want to say tha...

Just take a break. Go wander.

I wanted to start writing this post with something intelligent to say but honestly, I can't think of anything. So here it goes.. I took a break. For a whole week. No phone (well, I had it on but didn't use the internet as much). So, kinda no phone. No work. No homework. Just pure vacation, enjoying the outside world.  It did me so much good. It was so relaxing to put myself in a world I wasn't familiar with. I didn't speak their language. Took the local transport. Experienced the city-agendaless (if that's even a word). It was the best thing that I could gift to myself.  One thing that I learned from that trip was that my quiet time changed. The morning sessions with God was so beautiful. Usually, it would be "Good morning God. This, this and this is happening. I need help with this and that. What do I do with all these things in front of me?" As if He didn't know the things taking place in my life... but for the first time, I voluntarily let my ...
