Life's a journey filled with memories, some bring a smile, others teach us a lesson....

Today kick starts the anniversary of our final journey with Neville. What started as an self containing disease chickenpox became life threatening leukemia.  What is anniversary? 1. The annually recurring date of a past event, especially one of historical, national, or personal importance. 2. A celebration commemorating such a date. Anniversaries are joyous occasions when we thank God for what He has done in our life. What can we be thankful for when we have lost our son? Does it really make sense ? I have a choice today to either relive the painful memories God allowed in our lives or  be thankful to God for the promises and presence of God which kept us going the past one year. I choose to thank God as, yes during this difficult time we only saw God in control.   For so long I have been trying to document those promises but have failed as emotions took over. Last year when I started blogging little did I realise it was a covenant between Go...

The journey that started on Dec 18th with Neville's leukemia ended on March 18th with Neville moving on from this earthly life of leukemia  to an eternal life of no more pain, suffering  or leukemia. The end of one journey is the beginning of another. God is now taking us through the journey of pain of losing a son. The past 5 months have been the toughest in our life. 

I don't know where to start my previous blog was prepared at least 2 months back but it took so long to post it why?... I realized that when God wanted me to start the blog he had some plan what it was I didn't know at that time but now they have started falling into place. It was like God asking me to document what I believe and then testing me to see if I live by it. Let me start with the onset of 2012. We started the new year with God promising us saying "I will do new things for you" and  from Isaiah 55:8 which says "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.(NIV) the same verse in NLT is "My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine For 2 years my husband had got about 8 to 9 offers from Indonesia. We were settled in our own house and the boys comfortable in their school and my husband had a nice job we really did...

Believe others? How? For what they are ..with their good and bad..When we like somebody we put with all the difficulties they cause us but if somebody gets into our wrong books whatever good they do never matters they are always bad in our eyes. "Once bitten twice shy" is a famous quote which makes us careful when somebody takes us for a ride or we feel we have got  a raw deal. How many times do we know that our innocent words have hurt the other person or our genuine concern is misunderstood that we intend harm for them. I have realized it, maybe a little late in life but I feel it's better late than never.   As a child I misunderstood  many of my parents instructions now I see the same with my kids.  Our spouse may not understand us. What do we do in this situation?  Again it is our relationship with God that come to help us. God wants us to love our enemies as ourselves. If we don't believe God we will never give thought t...
