So I cannot get this story off my mind nor my heart.I debated sharing it on our blog.For 2 reasons.But Abba Father has silenced both of those reasons with His voice.And after celebrating Orphan Sunday, I cannot keep quiet. Firstly, the fact that I do not know this family personally was a reason.Surely, they may think I […]
orphan sunday
So it is not really an appropriate time for me to write a blog.It is the middle of the night.We are finishing our Sunday here, on this side of the world.This Sabbath to remember orphans. I am awake nursing our new little one.Listening to the sweet pitches of his breathing and feeling his little body […]

happy birthday adam!
Dear Adam,Happy Birthday!It bewilders me to think it has been over a year since you, little Adam, came into our life!Each day you live is truly a tangible picture of His sovereign grace, His perfect plan, and His desire to take the foolish things of this world to shame the wise. We were told you […]
September. September
Greetings to all. It seems that September is always going to be a significant month in the life of our family. It was September of last year that we met our little Adam for the first time and Abba Father used him to redefine our lives and our understanding of Love Divine. Then September of […]
Free yourself from the chains on your neck
“Free yourself from the chains on your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion”. The prophet Isaiah scribed these words many moons ago, as the Spirit breathed them to pass. And that same Spirit sung them over me this morning. This Sabbath morning. The cool of the Sabbath dawn was soon swallowed up by a stifling […]
“a good God is everywhere”
Whew. So last week came to a close. And this week has been surprising with new steps for Adam. He is laughing more than ever, crawling more than ever, and has figured out how to make sounds thru his tracheostomy (which excites him more than anything else).It has been beautiful to see him recover._____________________________________________________________But, let’s just […]
sorry to keep you waiting…
just so everyone is aware… Adam has recovered well. We ended up staying in Musoorie thru the week to finish Adam’s IV antibiotics.We could have moved to oral antibiotics, but the risk of not catching all the sickness was too much of a risk. We have had an amazing pediatrician caring for him.We left the […]

things as they are; take 2
Did I tell you about my embarrassing moment the other day?Sometimes, privacy is relative in my present day life.And I had a surprise visitor not too long ago (a female and friend…no worries) and was unaware of it.So our bedroom door was open and I was changing in the back corner while talking to Adam.In walks in […]
“things as they are”
It is 1026 pm here in our little abode in the north of India. There is a cool breeze blowing thru as I munch on some glorious dark chocolate and Adam is sitting next to me punching a plastic bag. Yes, that is his new favorite toy. Do not be fooled into baby einstein purchases…just […]

Many of you have been lifting up precious Hadassah faithfully in the weeks since I wrote about her. If you do not recall her, you can be updated here. She is one of many women in India who have walked thru depths of difficulties that I at times cannot fathom. The statistics are many and the […]

the One of all comfort
There have been many times since September 18th, 2011, that I have been led to deeper pits of questioning.Asking Him.Longing to understand.Why He allows suffering.Why He allows bartsocas papas.Why He permits babies to have no eyelids.Why? Why? Why?Why such injustice?I needed/need answers that are understandable to my finite mind.My temporary vision.My mourning heart.Just like His […]
and being poxed by chickens is kinda hard.
I wish you were here with me as I write this.Actually, if you were here, I would not be writing. I would fix you a steaming cup of ginger- spiced chai, offer you (ladies) a head scarf, like my own, to tie back any annoyance that humidity and indian heat may be creating for the lovely […]
poxed by chickens
So our Little Bird, Adam, has been out with the chicken pox for 3 days now. Do remember him in your talks with the One on High;) He is doing quite well…just crusted over in Calamine lotions, with an occasional need for Tylenol, and about twice a day spits up a bit of his feedings. […]
reality
It is Saturday night and 4 precious souls from Asha Mission just left after a week of greatness here staying with us. He reminded me of His great love for them and how He is surely weaving eternal glory into each of their little lives. Though they have walked some hard roads in their young […]
on earth as it is in heaven.
Those are the words my heart has been reciting the past few days since my last train ride with a friend, Amanda, to Delhi. More on that later though. It is a late night but I just want to say that all is well on the homefront. My hands are a bit tired at the […]
