Everything in the life of a child of God is for a purpose..i should say - a specific purpose..!! We shouldn't give any room to doubt ...!!

<b>Sub-title: When God does 'the knitting' secretly !</b><br />
<br />
So here i am.. about to let out portions of my book ... 'i will marry the will of God'. I am actually thrilled to have received this title from the Lord through a friend in Christ. As i was discussing with him about the proposals that were at hand. He suddenly popped a question and asked me ..so whom do you wish to marry 'dash' or 'dash' ?<br />
<br />
Without a pause and without a second thought ..i replied ...'<i>I want to marry - the will of God</i>"!<br />
<br />
While my google plus posts are more casual and blunt, i enjoy making my blog articles more personal and open !<br />
<br />
So...even as God has been knitting things together secretly....He has been merciful to let me have a glimpse of a few threads here and there..!! Sometimes...i am tempted to run behind Him and hand Him the ball of wool thus indirectly telling Him to 'make it move fast' .... Yet He sternly and mildly tells me - to wait patiently for the<i> fullness of time</i> !!<br />
<br />
I can bet you one thing .. <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">God is the best Story Writer and He can produce the most wonderful story out of your life ... </span></b>in sections and in whole too....if you are willing to hand over your life's pen into His hands.<br />
<br />
Now i know many of us have this fear ..that even i used to have ... !!<br />
When a storm comes into my life..i would immidiately fear the consequences and thus my faith would waver..!! When my Godly friends would inquire and encourage me as .. "Have faith and trust God jesse ..He is still on the throne!!"...i would tell them.. 'No doubt - i am trusting God ..yet my fear is ..i have no trust on myself..- what if ?...God is punishing me for my follies and i am reaping the consequences of my sins or God is breaking me?' Now exteriorly ..i seem to be right ..yet my attitude was absolutely wrong..i didn't trust my loving Father..and that's why fear would often grip me..!!<br />
<br />
Today....i know...that it's pleasing to God to take me through the pathways of suffering and also...He desires for me to be a broken vessel ..yes..YET now i don't fear the consequence...i am glad...<i>that all things will work out for my good ! (Romans 8:28)</i> Even my follies...( which are many in number ) will work out for my good.<br />
<br />
I have the habit of writing mails to people...especially when i am excited about something... I have written many mails to many people in the past...! Today when i check through my inbox and the sent items...mails that i had written some 2-3 years ago..OHHH !! I feel very <i>vekkam</i> ( shy and embarassed too ) and would like to bury my head some 10,000 km into the soil..for some mails.. especially the immature ones..!! Yet...at the same time..God has used this same very mails..and have worked out everything for my good.!!<br />
<br />
So God the Best Story writer...doesn't use an eraser i believe!! When i would meet Him face to face ( the day that's not far away)..this would be one of the things that i would like to confirm - "Father..do You use an eraser for Your children, i mean..when You write down their stories? ".... You know what happens whenever we commit some foolish act...He tries to fit in our action somehow into the story and creates a more wonderful and exciting story from all the mess we have created!!( Now this doesn't mean that you take all things for granted and carelessly do anything ...hoping that God would someone manage with it...no..!! not so !! God sees your heart !!)<br />
<br />
<i>"But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. </i><br />
<i> 1Corinthians 1:27-29</i><br />
<br />
God's ways are wonderful and exciting - i have no doubt regarding this!!And so i wish that He takes full charge over my life and lead me ..step by step..to His will ..His will yes..His will ( threads of which ..He has already begun to expose )<br />
<br />
[ Hey, Jesse!! You didn't even begun your story ? Yes..intentionally..i havent !!... let me be an instrument to help you to learn 'patience' even as God had and has been teaching me during this pathway laid down by Him - '<b><span style="color: #741b47;">to know His will- to find His will- to pursue His will- </span><span style="color: #741b47;">to wait for His will- and finally one day : to receive His will ' yet all the while..placing His will upon the altar..so that</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><b>His 'will' would NEVER replace the throne in my heart that is set only and only for HIM!!</b></span>]<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <span style="color: #7f6000;">The being and feelings of motherhood !</span></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is something so awesome and precious about being a mother. I've seen many of my hyper, adamant and really impatient friends become such caring, compassionate and gentle mom's today. Am seriously surprised !! It's all due to the great and marvelous plan laid down for every woman by our great Creator God. ( At the same time ... a woman is </span><i style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">all complete yes 100% </i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">without a husband or a child if that's God's will for her life. ) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Motherhood brings with it slight nervousness, positive fear and much of a change......... BTW, i know that you all are just about to laugh out loudly because of the 'status quo' of this writer ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyways, can't i write my experience about the <i>feelings of motherhood in a single girl </i>!! WOW !! Sounds a very unique and exciting article, hardly ever written down by any girl.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So a child remains attached to her/his mom for 9-10 months and on one final day he/she has to be </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">'cut off' from her. It's wonderful that while many other things change in a child as he grows up like his milk tooth gets replaced, his skin colour too changes and his height, weight, etc etc...yet a man continues to bear this mark of 'attachment</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">' with his mom until his death..Any guesses? Yes...his NAVEL !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have a wonderful neighbour family and today as i was sipping my tea seated on my green mat ( the day i had written it in my diary), i found this young toddler nearly 1 1/2 years of age enter into my room!! How bold to enter in without my permission or even a single knock!! ;) I never used to do such a thing yet this time i lifted him up and cuddled him. He was silent and i felt overwhelmed! His grandmother came looking for him and by then i had moved out of my room. Till this time, he seemed to be quite comfortable in my arms. He saw his grandmom and i asked to wave a 'tata' to her and he did it!! Yes, he did it !! I brought him back into the house. By then Aunty came running after me and asked me to ' Give IT away ', his grand-mom is waiting. !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I laughed and exclaimed </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"Give IT away" ? Aunty laughed along with me...we repeated...Give him away !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Truly remember those childhood days wherein we would play mother-mother, though i would never really cherish such games. We would wrap our dolls in a shawl and we would be their mothers. We would spoon feed those dolls and while pouring water into their mouth, the same water would flow out elsewhere and we would shout - diapers please..!! Hilarious...!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And yes...i gave him away...though i really cherished having him in my arms. I now understand, God has definitely knitted 'this' motherly affection within every woman. Ahh..sounds emotional !!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the same time...i do not explicit this emotion in public. All i do is make faces...when a child comes running towards me, i make him terrified by some funny facial expression - either shrink my face or blow my cheeks...whichever seems fitting for the occasion ;) and on seeing me..poor child runs away from me - weeping and shrieking. Immediately i would get back to normal and those mother's would ask their children ...... 'Yen..inna ayidhchi?' ( why what has happened? ) Ha ha ha !! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The mischievous me !! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yes, and about games ... I do remember another game..'wedding-wedding' and sadly i would be the pathetic bride and the target of all facial decorations - designs on my forehead. My dear sisters yes..Boinu and Mercy along with their friends would experiment all that they could on my face - lipstick, watercolour, garlands and what not !! Oh poor me !! This is called ' Sister Abuse'. ;)</span><br />
<br />
Recently my neighbour friend reminded me about that...<br />

<b>Crushes and Crashes !!!</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have been watching a few movies…shhhh Christian movies in the
past weeks … probably one movie a week…that isn’t very bad …!! I somehow
realized that I am a little drawn towards movies that have a storyline, a
family genre or sometimes a clean love story. Come on .. yes .. love story…nothing wrong about it…!!!
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In particular some movies have been of a great challenge to
me like Pamela’s Prayer, Grace unplugged, Princess cut etc. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I was in Malaysia last year, a girl dared to ask me (no
one does it..seeing me in white in white ;) Akka do you have a boyfriend? And I
was shocked … !! I asked her ..what has made you ask me such a question and to
which she replied.. “<i>it just seems impossible to believe that ..no one has ever
proposed to you</i>!! I replied …………………….!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-align: center;">Recently have been
going through a couple of videos by Eric and Leslie Ludy …Love those articles and
Videos…Why? I see there's</span><span style="text-align: center;"> Christ centered
relationship in there. Not like a fairy tale – wherein we see heroes riding on</span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;">a white horse or a girl with a tiara … !! Their’s
is/was a love story written by God ….set as a challenge and example to many
young people. If I ever have one….i was thinking about it the other day…and
while watching a particular video…I have come up with the Title </span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;">– “</span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;">;)”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many girls have lot of questions about this matter and lots
to share about yet many aren’t as open as they should be. All the information
they ever receive is from the filthy TV programmes and emotional falsified love
stories….wherein an uneducated gang leader falls in love with an educated
college girl. He follows her and she falls in love with him…probably when he
rescues her from some villain…etc etc…..!! These worldly-false-lust-eruptive
movies have done much harm to the society, much more than even pornography has
done. I personally found it hard to pick myself up after having read through
the news report about the recent Nungambakkam murder case. After having watched
the live stills with her dead body lying on the railway platform…I should say…I
wept … !! <i>Why has human life become so cheap</i>? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So…sorry..i was supposed to take this along another line yet…it’s
difficult to tame a writer’s thoughts and her writing fingers. Yes… _crushes
and crashes_..!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Did I ever have any crush ;) and DO YOU THINK THAT I WOULD EVER
PUBLISH IT??<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yet I do have some hilarious moments to narrate!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was just in my 10<sup> </sup>th std…as mentioned I was
known as a studious girl. I wasn’t attractive and that was a concern to me sometimes.
Yet I was a confident person – ( not saved yet) !! I had a friend, and I along
with another two girls would frequently visit his house to have some food as
his mother would prepare good tasty ones. Our school was located in an airforce
area and it was fun to visit their quarters. He was younger to me…come on…he
was a good innocent friend yet poor boy….he began to have crush upon me….!! Adding
to his folly was he shared it to a few other classmates and when I was told
about it….I wept and probably stopped speaking with him for months together.
Till date ……. ….. he has been apologizing almost every time that he had once
made me cry….I have told him…<i>forgiven</i>!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though there were a few things that used to attract me like ….
Guys with guitar, a mountaineer, a pet lover, V neck Tshirt, casual and simple
looks, 6 feet, hmmmm…clean shaven….yet…never did God allow me to fall for any guy..!!
Let’s all shout Praise God for this !!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes….that was a young jesse….even during my college days…there
were quite a lot of temptations yet God faithfully guarded me via a fence named
Uncle and also when he wasn’t around..through different ways. During my college
days…there was a trend wherein guys would drop their girlfriends near the
college gate, also as I would ride my bike from home to college daily ..it was
a common thing to see girls being seated behind a guy in their colouful bikes
and making a public display of their so called affection. It wasn’t unnoticed
to my eyes…and I wouldn’t shut my eyes either…yet ….i thank God … He enabled me
to use this as an opportunity to pray Jesse’s Pamela’s prayer…..yes I do have
one. And I would pray… “<i>Lord…I too wish - to one day sit as a pillion rider
behind a guy…Yet Lord…if it ever happens ..that guy should be none other than
my husband</i>”…...and joy would flood my soul…a joy of God’s grace and
faithfulness….a joy of hope and faith for the future.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course I was tempted a couple of times…yet God preserved
me. I can recall of an incident wherein I was to go to a school to complete my
Rotaract club hours. And the coordinator probably from Loyala I believe after
the programme approached me and asked if he could drop me back home. God had
already given me the strength to say no..!! why ? There was a fear in me ..that continues to
this date. Some ask me .. "<i>what’s wrong in meeting up with a guy….it’s not that you
are going to marry him..after all it’s just meeting up for a cup of coffee</i>? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What kind of fear
do I have here….it’s the sincere acknowledgement that I am after all flesh. And
it wouldn’t take a moment for me to fall into any of the devil’s snare. I had
seen so many girls…yes even believers finding it difficult to break away
relationships with unbelievers…!! How did it begin…yes….it began from that –
harmless..little catching up @ Café Coffee Day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Recently someone confronted me ..your standards are too high
jesse…. "you are dreaming..and what guarantee do you
have that he too has such standards…don’t be a fool jesse"!!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I replied him with these three words – I trust God !!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While doing my internship in LV Prasad studio, we were about
to finish with our project and my team who were from a college of another state
had borrowed some money from me. It was not a borrow sort of a thing…it was
that I had purchased something ..and they had to pay me back. This was my last
week there. The person incharge…would remind me… “<i>Oh..i have to pay you back
the money…!</i>!” I sincerely believed that he was concerned about paying me back.
Yet at the end of the day…he wouldn’t. Monday,Tuesday….Thurday had passed…yet
he did not pay me back my money. Finally on Friday afternoon….i receive a call…asking
if I was free. I was unable to join the dots and asked the explanation ….why? He replied … “<i>could I pay you back the money over
a coffee somewhere outside</i>….!!” Ahhh….i understood the un-narrated motive….and I
politely told him to keep the money to himself and have a good single meal in a
fine restaurant. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No…no collars lifted up and no claps for this!!! I am just
as flesh as you are yet..God has been faithful to - keep me ‘His beloved pearl’ safely inside His shell…..He will open the shell
when His one comes in …Right….!! I have the faith to believe this…and am for
it!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What about you….how many times will you give yourself away
to someone who isn’t The one God has for you….even if you think he is …. Are
you willing to honour God with a Christ centered relationship? Are you willing
to battle this flesh of yours and live a pure life unto Him? Are you willing to
Wait ?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Recently someone asked me this question – <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sameer: so how’s your hero?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jesse - I don’t have any hero?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sameer: Jhoot (lie) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jesse – I don’t have any hero…yet I do have a future husband…and
he should be doing fine :)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So let me fill in the blanks .....</div>

"Mummy i will never leave you and go, even if it takes me to change my posting area, i will work wherever i could get you to stay with me", this was what young Jesse would tell her Mummy.<br />
<br />
Now as i entered my 15th year, many things had happened at home, and every storm lead this boat of mine to move away and away from Mummy...this time to another direction...not North nor East neither West - It was SOUTH !!<br />
<br />
One way jesse was excited that she could now start a new life altogether yet ..YET leaving behind friends was a little bit of a struggle.<br />
<br />
" jesse Chennai jaakar tu badal tho nehi jaayegi?" ( So, Will you change after you go to Chennai?)<br />
<br />
Jesse: " haaa.....jesse and change - impossible!!"<br />
<br />
And i believe - God her heavenly Father must have had a good laughter there in heaven...<i>"jesse - not just a change ... I AM going to turn your world downside UP". Such a thorough work will be done in your life dear jesse, that the very existence of the phrase 'haa....jesse?' will no longer exist !!!"</i><br />
<br />
It was probably the 22nd or 23rd of May 2005, Mercy and jesse left for Chennai - a long, hot, sweaty - 3 days journey - not knowing what would be in store for us in the coming days.<br />
<br />
We landed Chennai at night and was picked up by Aunty and a cousin. Aunty...yes...my dear Aunty...Mrs Christiana Paranjothy....known as Christy Aunty in the family.<br />
<br />
'ting - tong' !! "you both have arrived ?" It was dark and some one shouted - "close the doors...there's mosquitoes outside ....enter in soon.." There was this figure that i had seen for the first time...white in white...And here was my dear Uncle...He was working on his pc and he turned around at looked at us. He enquired a few questions and we immediately slipped into the guest room.<br />
<br />
The following day, Aunty had a trip to take ..which would mean her being away for 3-4 days. It was the VBS season and there were 2 boys staying at home...also 4 girls and 2 other boys from the church. Everyone was supposed to leave for a programme in Redhills.<br />
<br />
jesse was the youngest then..and she was made to sit next to Uncle. Uncle had handed over his mobile phone to me and i stumbled over it...as it was the first time i was handling a mobile phone in my life. During the programme..songs were being played...all Tamil songs and girls were performing on the stage. Uncle was leading them and teaching them. There was a huge crowd of Sunday school teachers and Mercy and i were lost among them. As the songs were being played...i began loosing my patience ...my fingers moved..my feet tapped and i found myself..standing and dancing to the song right at the end of the crowd.<br />
<br />
Uncle paused and spotted me and called me. He gave me the platform ...<i>remember this was my second day in Chennai.</i> He asked me to join the girls on stage...and so did i !! God had showed me even then that He had a ministry for me ----????<br />
<br />
" to help"<br />
<br />
i danced....not knowing the meaning of a single word...just lip synced the song...did it with all the zeal i had...thinking this was my service to God..." <i>to gladden and encourage the teachers to learn the action songs.</i>"<br />
<br />
I jumped the highest, moved the fastest and did everything that i could... He had a plan for me - which was yet to be revealed ...YET had been already written down in HIS book !! Yes...in HIS voluminous book of jesse's life - why ? Because - HE knew it very well.......<br />
<br />
' she has been created for a specific purpose '<br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In one instance, i had taken Papa’s very good and sharp scissors
to school for a project. And as it could be expected, someone had stolen it from
my bag or while it had been left abandoned on the table. While I was getting
back home that day, I remember feeling ‘dead like a lizard’, not knowing
what to reply to Papa. I tried begging Mercy to take the blame upon herself as
she was Papa’s pet and could escape without getting scolded. She was a perfect
daughter, who everything in the best way possible without causing any trouble
to others. Yet she refused my plea. Who would risk doing that when there wasn’t
any guarantee that it wouldn’t happen again!</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">And so these were my childhood days. Yet, none of these </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><i>incidents<b> </b></i></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">prevented
me from my Operation ‘E</span><i style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">xploration</i><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">’. My desires were always set upon
doing things that were ‘ forbidden’ . </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My childhood revolved around School. My school was my world..!!
While any school going child would prefer to stay at home and so find excuses
to take leave from it, I was just the opposite. ‘Meghalaya’,my hometown, when
translated means ‘the house of clouds’ . It would have rainy weather more for
than half a year. Hailstorms were also quite common. Besides this, there were
frequent curfews and bandhs due to political reasons. Since my school was
situated in the air force region, 60 % of the students could make it to school
even in the most adverse conditions.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I remember many such incidents, when Mummy, seeing the weather
outside, would not wake us up in the morning and allow us to sleep presuming we
would stay at home. But somehow, I would wake up by 6:30 am ( which
would mean only 30 minutes to go and catch the office jeep to go to the school)
and Seeing my sisters happily lying on the bed I would weep loudly. It
literally brought the roof to the ground. Why ? Just because I did not want to
stay at home and wished to go to school as always. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">With a
75-25 ratio I would win the battle</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> . Somehow with my
skirt half tucked in, and Rs 5 in my fist for lunch, I would manage to catch
the office jeep. This was the normal scenario at home, as ‘Jesse’ was a very
serious student. I wanted to attend all the classes without missing even one,
while Mercy and Ruth would prefer to stay back at home, happily sleeping under
the warm cozy blankets.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

on their intelligence or smartness or even beauty. Even from my childhood days
I sought friends who would be ‘good listeners'. Yes..just good listeners would
do. Someone who could add a ‘hmmm’ to everything I said. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

We are all created beautifully by Him. We all possess different temperament ..
different even within a family. We should never feed awkward or low about these
differences. He is the perfect ‘Potter’ who knows about our future even before
the best calendar could mark it down.</span></div>

year after year…this jesse from childhood now entered into her teenage. Until
then, I was pretty innocent yet now adolescence was taking a stall over me. I
wanted to be famous even more. Co-curricular activity was the sword on my right
hand and academic studies the shield on the left. Adding to all of these since
I was slowing entering into my adulthood, I now had the desire to
be appreciated for my looks. I had known that I wasn’t as fair as other girls (
People in North East are all fair, having really straight long hair and a slim
figure) and that would unknowingly bring down my confidence. Still I strove to
do my best in everything. School was everything to me. Even at home I would
spend hours together thinking about ‘what had happened that day and what would
happen the next day’.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

of my life that had seen a complete make over. This was the end of my 8<sup>th</sup> standard.
As there were rumors in the school that students would be taken to a Darjeeling
mountaineering trip. Bingo !! This was what my soul desired. A trip !! Too good
to behold..this young mind thought of the mountaineering experience - the colorful
dresses I would be allowed to wear, the fun I would have with my friends and
what not. So there I was excited to break this news at home. The school had
charged around Rs 400 I believe. It was a little more for my family to provide
yet I hoped I could convince my parents. So I waited for my mother to return
from her school. She was a primary teacher in a private school.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

parents too revolved around our education. They never bought any new
cloths for themselves yet provided all that they could for us,
their four gems. My father could have bought a bike or a new gadget
to boast about with his friends, yet family was his priority. God bless my
parents. I can very well recall this conversation that my Papa had with his
office manager while he withdrew some money from his PF ( provisional fund) for
Victoria’s degree admission. While he applied for the withdrawal form, he was
advice by the manager that he shouldn’t be his savings like this and should
rather keep it for his post retirement period.’ ‘Lala careful’, was what they
had advised him . Yet my father used almost all his savings on us
and never thought about his future.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

announce the Big carnival news, Mercy in turn had shared the same news with
both Mummy and Papa and they were willing to send her to this trip. What had
happened !! My dreams were crushed into pieces . All my plans got
washed away by the flood waters. Yet, I wasn’t a loving sister nor had ever
understood the meaning of sacrifice and I went and told Mummy that I too was
planning to go. Without any second thought, Mummy said ‘no’ as they couldn’t
afford for two people. Mercy as her nature was, immediately told my parents that
she wouldn’t and that jesse could go alone. Yet, Mummy did not agree to
this. <i>If not for Mercy, then not even for jesse</i>. Today,
I understand why Mummy had said so, yet then I did not. I was furious . I wept
yet they wouldn’t listen. I went for a two and a half days dharna ( starvation
process), yet they wouldn’t. The school had given a week whole break for the
end term examination. My parents fearing that I wouldn’t study and that I was
actually serious about my decision and so they finally relented and said..okey
we shall see..!! So I had my food and began preparing for the
exams. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

It was time to pay the trip fare and my parents said ‘no’. I felt like I was
cheated. I somehow accepted it, though I was bitter within. It had taken me
some days to come back to normal.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

beings created in the very image of a loving God sometimes or maybe many a
times forget their origin. It’s sad yet thank God that He calls us all to ‘<i>repentance</i>’,
‘He calls sinners to repentance’. This word ‘repentance’ sounds very bitter and
ugly to those who haven’t tasted the Lord, yet this is what has saved me. <b><i>It
was His saving grace that picked up a hard and coarse stone like me and
transformed me into a garden wherein those who come in – into my life today
call me ‘blessed’. I believe that, this is how Mary must have felt when she met
Elizabeth. She realized that she was an unworthy girl chosen by the most Holy
God to become the mother of His Son. May we all have this same attitude within
us. </i></b></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

and it was a smooth start. Then one day all of a sudden, our teacher announced
about a 3-4 day Scouts and Guides camp in Guwahati. Guwahati was a nearby city
located in the state of Assam. It wasn’t as far as Darjeeling yet it was definitely miles
away from Shillong. ‘COOL’, if not Darjeeling than it should be Guwahati. “
Mummy, you did not allow me to go for the Darjeeling trip, this camp I will by
no means forgo .. I am going…… bye!!”. That was my confidence !! And my parents
allowed me to go. It was a wonderful camp and I learnt a lot and as I had
earlier mentioned this ‘jack of all trades’ displayed a real good number of
talents. I received almost the maximum number of awards for the dance
competition, speaking, elocution and yes, drawing too. This was what I was
known in the camp ‘ jesse jaisi koi nehi’ ( it meant ‘no one is like jesse’ –
this was a famous serial programme being aired in the television
those days). A mere reading of this paragraph would make people think that – ‘
wow, her student life was very wonderful’. It is Only the girl
‘jesse’ who knows how she was feeling within. As said celebration stays for a
while, I was eaten up from within. A well decorated white washed tomb. Too
beautiful to behold from outside yet inside ..decaying and stinking. I couldn’t
withstand anyone getting even a mark more than me, I couldn’t tolerate anyone
being appreciated even if it was own close friend, had no genuine love for
anyone, all my dreams were shortsighted – just momentary happiness. That was
how I was…yes ‘I was’ - Praise God… ‘Great change has come over me
since I was born’ – since I was born again !!</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the first guide of the school who ever participated for the ‘National
conference for scouts and guides’ held at Dehradun. Dehradun is a city in
Uttaranchal, miles and miles away from Darjeeling and definitely from Shillong
itself. What had happened in this Guwahati camp ? I was selected as the only
student from my school (though we were four) one among the 25-30
students representing the whole North-East region ( 7 states), for the National
Camp which was to be held a month later in Dehradun. Thus making me the first
among my siblings to travel by train and that too, to a far away state in
India. This was a great success for me and my fame .. yes ..i would like to
quote this word ‘fame’ began to spread in the School and in other K.V Schools.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

God was even then proving to me that His plans for my life were not just
greater – ‘ it was not what I had planned or ever desired for’. Then
‘I wanted Darjeeling – He gave me Dehradun’, ‘then I
wanted successful life – Today He has given me Eternal Life’, ‘Then I wanted
everyone to know who I was – Today He is using me ( such an unworthy person as
you can see ) to make His Glorious name known’. Sometimes you wonder in God’s
choices..!! By human standards I would be the last person of my family to be
chosen by God. Today,….’Look what the Lord has done !!’ Hallelujah..!!</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I have always thought of writing a novel...an autobiography or at least a book about all that God has done in my life. YET, even as God is giving me new light each day ... i personally believe i may write down my failures and God's work in my life.....i CAN do that for me....yet my past being entangled with many people......i do not have the RIGHT to involve the failures of other people...'PEOPLE' whom i have forgiven and THINGS that i have almost forgotten!!!<br />
<br />
SO... i need to give a new approach to my book...!! I am not sure if this will work ..let me take it one day at a time.... mainly focusing how God builds our life....yes yes yes.... how God plans our lives....!! It's going to be interesting, so do not miss any part.....i would continue writing and would end it....with the circle being completed....what i mean to say is.....when The Day arrives !! Ha ha ha .... little vekkam (shy) here .... ok ..am taking a step of faith.....yes, JESUS is the author of all Faith.....!! Faith that leads to do the will of the FATHER alone...I'll try to be open, leaving some parables here and there in case i need to and might have one write-up per week......so that by the time ..everything is Said and Done .... i would ( we would ) have a book ready....!! Now if what it doesn't end the way i desire to....hmmmm...!! Yes, for a hypothetical conclusion let's say.... even if this doesn't end the way i desire....even THEN....it would turn out to be a beautiful story !! An inspirational one .... !!<br />
Sounds fun !! Let's seee................!!<br />
<br />
Had asked Amreetha to help me with the Grammar ..... a few pages are done...let's hope she too finds time to do it.<br />

</span>When I was still very young,I always wished to travel. My school friends would go on vacations with their parents yet I couldn't. We couldn't afford it. Born in Manipur , North East India and brought up in Shillong ( Meghalaya), this was my heart's cry - to travel.<br /><br />"Oh Mummy, when will I get to travel like my friends by train" asked little Jesse ( when she was probably 6 or 7 years of age). To which her Mummy replied, 'Don't worry, jessepuk??, when we die and our soul and spirit is taken up to paradise, we would then pass though all these wonderful paces on the earth". <i>I nodded and went to bed that night not knowing that this question of mine was heard by my Heavenly Father above. He began knitting things together in my life that would one day make all my innocent desires and wishes come true. </i><br /><br />My dad, whom I have never called as 'Dad' but Papa, belongs to the Hmar tribe from the state of Manipur and my mother is from Tamil Nadu, a pure tamilian. So with three other siblings of mine, we lived a good number of our lives in the quarters of Doordarshan Kendra, Shillong.<br /><br />When each of us required uniform and shoes for the new year, Papa would get me Action shoes ( a brand) with artificial wheels beneath so that I could glide while walking. I never settled for the normal, not even once since my childhood days. Very early in life, I had the desire to shine and be the center of attraction. Victoria, my eldest sister, Mercy, the second and Ruth my younger sister - made my small world. This 'Hmar family' in the apartment quarters was known for having smart and disciplined children, a slight exception though - Jesse being the over-smart one.<br /><br />Three of us, Mercy, Ruth and I, studied in Kendriya Vidhyalaya school and received many opportunities to shine and come forward. Have you heard of the phrase ' Jack of all trades<b> </b>and Master of none' . Yes, this was aptly my case. Be it drawing, singing, sports,dancing, writing, reciting, in all of these I was a proud 'Jack', yet I did not master any.<br /><br />" A wild beast when young is as harmless as a dove'. That was the state of my childhood days. I was an innocent little girl.<br />I can still recall many incidents caused<b> </b>due to my outrageous curiosity. In the absence of my father, I would unscrew the 'tape recorder' and try to see what exactly existed inside the machine. Yet, alas, my tender little fingers did not know how to screw the nuts back into the original position and i would be caught red handed by my Papa. My Papa wouldn't punish us physically, yet his scolding would be equivalent to that.. If there was anything wrong at home -'was it Jesse?" was the common question asked and why not, it was my work, most of the time. Mercy would call me - Miss Butterfingers !!</span></div>

This morning even as i was thinking 'how God works', i do not know why i was reminded of this<br />
verse.....Then a flow of thought within me...why did Jesus say so..what was the meaning to it....<br />
" how long am I to remain with you?" Isn't it right for us to want Jesus to continue to be with us...Does He want us to work independently. No...of course not!!..then why did Jesus say so?<br />
<br />
Why?? These words were ringing in my heart....yes..yess..and suddenly i remembered why.....<br />
As i had mentioned earlier age is definitely taking a hold upon Uncle and Aunty...may God give me the grace to do what is required..!! Now...i have told Aunty we could keep a helper 24X7 ..yet finding a faithful one and a trustworthy person is definitely difficult. Let me describe some scenes at home<br />
<br />
Location: Jesse (inside her room), Uncle (Bed room) , Aunty...(in and out the bed room and Jesse's room and kitchen.)<br />
<br />
Scene 1:<br />
Aunty: Need to send this message<br />
Uncle: Come i will tell, you should start using touch screen...be updated<br />
Aunty: Ok<br />
Uncle:( struggling himself)<br />
Aunty: furious....what..!! you have been using this phone for quite sometime..<br />
you still are struggling..<br />
Uncle: Give me some time...let me learn.<br />
Aunty: I will ask Jesse....she knows it.<br />
Uncle: Dey..!!<br />
Aunty: Jesse..!!<br />
Jesse: WHAT ?<br />
<br />
Scene 2:<br />
Aunty: Need to fill this form.<br />
Uncle: Check online.<br />
Aunty: Jesse will know.<br />
Uncle: Yes..Dey!!<br />
Aunty: Jesse..!!<br />
Jesse: WHAT ??<br />
<br />
Scene 3:<br />
Aunty: When are you leaving ?<br />
Uncle: 1st ... 29th??<br />
Aunty: Monday..isn't it ?<br />
Uncle : yes....<br />
Aunty: Timings?<br />
Uncle: Ask Jesse..she has all the details..!<br />
Aunty: Jesse<br />
Uncle: Dey<br />
Jesse: What?<br />
<br />
Scene:4<br />
<br />
Uncle: Dey, who was the pastor whom we met in ...<br />
Jesse:..yes.....<br />
Uncle: What's his name ?<br />
Jesse: I think .................<br />
Uncle: Spell<br />
Jesse: .........<br />
Uncle: Do we have his number ?<br />
Jesse: Wait let me come..myself.<br />
<br />
Scene 5<br />
Aunty: This phone is useless<br />
We cannot even delete one thing here<br />
everything gets deleted!!<br />
Jesse: What do you want ?<br />
Aunty: I do not want to delete all the messages..just this one<br />
Jesse: Show<br />
Aunty: This Uncle only ...forcing me to use this phone..older phones are so easy<br />
this is a nuisance....we cannot even delete things<br />
Jesse: Do not say..'we cannnot'...say..'i do not know Aunty'<br />
Aunty: it's not possible<br />
Jesse: Done..take<br />
Aunty: (smiling) thank you<br />
<br />
Scene 6<br />
Uncle: Dey tomorrow at 7:30 am da..!!<br />
Jesse: Tommorow is Thursday Uncle<br />
Uncle: Just a few hours..by 10:30 you will be free<br />
Jesse: Uncle!! GO by auto...!! I will not come.<br />
Uncle: Dey dey dey<br />
Jesse: stamping her feet to the ground....leaving the room..in haste......go by auto..final!!<br />
Uncle: Within 2 minitues you will come and say ok......jesse is a good girl..we know it.<br />
Jesse: smiling and winking ....entering into the bedroom///laughing...you are very bad!!<br />
Uncle: Our jesse is good<br />
Jesse: what time...tomorrow..sharp 7 :30 OK<br />
<br />
So these are some scenes , considering the milder-intensity incidence. Then....<br />
So this morning this was in my mind...How did Jesus prepare His disciples..There was a confusion in my mind.......God wants us to trust Him in everything..isn't it?<br />
Then ...Does He want us to act independently? This was so confusing...!!<br />
I've told Uncle something like this...during those quite calm evening hours.......................<br />
Uncle, listen..i am very glad to help you..I love to..yet..i fear that you are getting very much dependent on me..Do not be so dependent please.<br />
<br />
Does Jesus want us to be dependent on Him??<br />
How is it supposed to be?<br />
<br />
Here is this verse giving us a slight clue..While these words of Jesus ..... i believe ..was said to<br />
the disciples..." how long will I be with you?..There were many people in the crowd... (the father of the boy, the disciples and the scribes and Pharisees)..So while some words were for the Scribs ..this statement must have been for the disciples...!!<br />
<br />
Later in verse 22, Jesus tells them about His departure..that He would be handed to men, killed .. So most probably..Jesus must have told these words to His disciples !!<br />
<br />
During my 12th standard, many unlikely incidents had occured in my life. All put together... my studies was in a pure mess. Actually i should say...' the grace of God was not with me'...inspite of al of this,<br />
i was a fool to expect good percentage for my board examination, while it was very clear that i did not perform well.<br />
<br />
So the question is<br />
<br />
- 'Only Faith' without 'work' ? OR<br />
- 'Faith plus work'<br />
<br />
- Trust and obey? OR<br />
- just trust and leave it.? Hmmmm??<br />
Hope i have made it clear, things that i wish to deliver. No! no! no! am not telling you to do something, when God has told you not to..that's not what i am telling to.<br />
<br />
Probably,<br />
<br />
This could be said in this manner....' Only when you take a step will the next door open'....'unless you lift your feet..how will things happen'?<br />
We are not machines..we have a free will..given by God..!!<br />

<br />
I think Paul puts it well in 1 Corin 3:6<br />
I planted, Apollos watered, but God ( all the while) was making it grow and He gave the increase.<br />
<br />
I believe this verse gives a beautiful exhortation.<br />
<br />
Also isn't it easy to say," God will take care"Good bye..!!<br />
and do nothing in that regard..I have done this myself and i repent this day..even while typing it down.<br />
<br />
I am reminded of this verse here..<br />
<br />
Esther 4:14<br />
For if you keep silent at this times, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, ...And who knows but that you have come to the Kingdom for such a times as this and for this very occasion<br />
<br />
Only when we mix acid with a base will reaction take place...without mixing, nothing will come out.<br />
Above all..'fear of God' as the Bible says 'is the beginning of all wisdom'..so true...!!<br />
<br />
I am little cautious these days to post matters that might pain others...in the past i have...unintensionally caused pain to a few. So..i was not sure if i should post this....so i prayed and asked my Heavenly Father...i wouldn't until You lead me...!!<br />
<br />
So....the day went by ....at 5:30pm when we were travelling...we received a call....from a well wisher..He spoke to Uncle and then to me..<br />
i was thinking...of all..why..now..!! why should this come now....!! not again..am not comfortable Lord...!!<br />
Yet....i battled it....sought for grace..and did not lose my peace as other times..<br />
Then a small soft voice..."didn't you ask for a confirmation jesse"<br />
<br />
Oh Lord....yes i did...!! SO the call was a confirmation ....so that i post this ...!!<br />
<br />
Dear Brothers and Sisters i repeat....<br />
<br />
"For if you keep silent at this times, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from ELSEWHERE"<br />
<br />
Have the fear of God and may God direct your path....the Fear of the Lord..will direct you to do that "which is righteous" RIGHTEOUS !!!<br />
I have examined myself.......judged myself....Lord....that's all i can do..nothing more....Will not<br />
- pull the handle and close any door again nor will<br />
- push the handle and try to open a closed door....!!<br />
<br />
I trust God.....He will do what is the best for me...What is HIS best me..!!<br />
<br />
<br />
As i have already mentioned once....<br />
family,friends,relationship, aimbition, desires.....nothing has ever stood that 'Strong' (enough) in my life to prevent me from choosing His divine will...It's God's grace.....Past speaks .... if needed future too might be the same.<br />
<br />
Vinny and Amreetha were the once who encouraged me to stand for the election for the 1st year Represenative post in Woman's Christian College. I still remember an advice Vinny had given me that day... " on the stage ..never speak from your emotions...!! Never jesse"<br />
<br />
....and poor jesse...i fell for that....i spoke something emotionally....and was ruthlessly cornered by the then secretary and senate members including the lecturer in charge....!! It's hilarious when i think about it now...!! Yet, God did give me the post in spite of my failures and limitations.... .i do not not why !!<br />
<br />
IN the darkest of days..there is always that ....ray of light ...that shines brighter than the 'temptation' to give up.....that's what has kept me thus far....<br />
i know the rock from where i was curved out....so there is no place to be proud about what God has been doing for me....<br />
<br />
But for HIS grace i would have <span style="font-family: "";">not </span>been saved....!!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Keeping sacred things sacred..any idea..what I am about to
share ?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are many relationships in this world. Father and son/daughter,
mother and son/daughter, sisters, brothers, uncles, niece, nephews..and even
the famous..friends… yet..Yet<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the New Covenant there is just one relationship that is emphasized
a lot..that of ours with Christ ..a husband - wife relationship..a committed bride
– bridegroom relationship.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No.. not a girlfriend- boyfriend relationship no …!! A committed
Bride – Bridegroom relationship.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wish to speak from my heart this day…while the whole world
has a lot to say about this..they run from cinema theatres to beaches..to
shopping mall or even clubs …in the search for a girl friend or a boy friend..a
child of God should never. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are even attracted to a guy, which is normal, you can step further only with the intention of marriage, if not..i would plainly say…and I
think I am right…Brother/Sister – you are commiting a sin!! Playing around with a guy or girl is sin. Yes, you heard me right.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Es – eye – En ---------------------------- SIN<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No…the world will not say you the truth. They don't know the Truth themselves. Their eyes are
blinded. Probably the reason I would never accept anything (a word, a comment, a ride anything ) from a guy..that I wish
to reserve for my special one including my precious time. Those who have ear
to hear may listen it .!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If I say this to the world…they would brand me as a
behanji..a ' x ' generation girl..so may they!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Have you ever thought '<i>the glory and beauty</i>' that lies in the
institution of marriage. I see it… No, it’s not about the holding of hands,
walking down the aisle, the exchange of vows..no…!! When Jesus had to compare
His church to something ..he compared her to a Bride..!! Then indeed there is a '<i>hidden glory</i>' in marriage..i value
it..with all of my heart. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have heard people sharing something like this… "I cannot
marry a man who will not allow me to wear what I want ..to do what I like to…" When
I hear such a thing... i began thinking…people haven’t understood the C<i>ovenant of Marriage</i> at
all. Under this Covenant - You are willing to sacrifice and become one with your husband..some say.. "i
cannot if he does not have a house or a car…." Poor girls….!!! Marriage is to them another job or something..Oh to me marriage is glorious.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marriage doesn’t solve the matters of live…probably many new
ones would arise ;) I know…it. i once read this..if you are an unhappy person…marriage
will not suddenly make you a happier person…no no no..!! You will remain the
same….!! Please do not misunderstand it…yet..if God, even before sin came into
the earth….had planned marriage as a part of a girl and boy’s life..we need to
value it..much more than..education, job, career, pleasure..or anything.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes…wait a minute, compatibility is important in marriage…minimum
atleast. Knowing at least one common language to converse is very important….yet
giving silly reasons..is not the right thing to do.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am a veg..an eggitarian actually..and i know it for sure,
it will be difficult to make my demands after marriage as I do make to my Aunt..naa..am not
choosy…just that non veg is to me as bitter gourd is to others…simple as that <span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span> I do not despise it
like a Brahmin person..not so..!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So if I have to attempt to start eating non-veg after marriage….i will
..maybe ;) atleast wil try to .. or atleast samalify isn’t it ?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And ..before I close….i would like to encourage girls…to
have a boundary around themselves. And not allow anyone to trample over it.
Look, I am in a ministry and so I hardly ever get to meet people who do not know
how to talk. Yet, for you dear girls!!…right into the world…you might not have the protection
that I have. i came to know about this while discussing with Ruth, my younger
sister. The cooperative world..the parties…the picnics…social get- togethers…etc
etc. Girls!! i would be really proud of you if you are able to keep up your
dignity with the fear and reverence for God…not by your own strength....yes..by
His grace alone. No, i am not telling that be legalistic...do not speak to guys or so..no...yet know your boundaries..!!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As many of you must be knowing that God saved me when I was
16..a few days after my 16<sup>th</sup> birthday and life did change for me….the
consciousness of sin increased and became evident. Prior to that sin wasn’t
sin to me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many of my friends do not know the now ‘jesse’ - the new jesse….all
they know is the old jesse. They probably perceive I would respond and react in
the like manner as other girls of this generation do. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You need to be bold enough to guard your speech and let <i>the
scared words be sacred</i> even if it hurts others. ..do it with the fear of God…in
a loving way.<o:p></o:p></div>

When God builds a relationship, purity is not scorned; it is
highly regarded. Parents and <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
siblings are not ostracized; they are honored. Romance is
not rushed; it is carefully <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
cultivated. And sacred words aren’t casually expressed; they
are saved for sacred moments. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is no question that God’s way is not the easy way. But
it is far more beautiful and <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
infinitely more fulfilling than any shallow,
pleasure-seeking, self-built relationship ever could be.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God’s way of building a relationship is perfect. Though
following His way does not provide instant <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
gratification or satisfy our selfish wants, the beauty of
His amazing pattern is truly beyond compare. <o:p></o:p></div>

of God’s beautiful pattern. I encourage you to watch this

Remember that choosing God’s way always leads to victory and
joy, even if the outcome is different from what we always hoped for. If you are
struggling with disappointment, disillusionment, or impatience in this or any
other area of your life, ask God to replace your desires with His desires. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
So being the last day of my stay for this trip, am now getting back to Chennai. I personally feel January to be passing by so slowly. Even Aunty, while speaking to her yesterday said.. 'pah feels like its been a year since you both have left'. Actually even i felt so. You know what, this trip has been little different ...... This time i got to stay with Ruth for 2 and a half days..wow enjoyed.<br />
<br />
I did speak in a few churches personally without Uncle. As usual Uncle kept pushing me...and had a wonderful time especially with the youth. These were wonderful thirsty and humble people. God bless them. People kept asking me 'how do you know such fine Hindi being a Tamilian and i answered them..'ask me ..why are you so poor in Tamil being a Tamilian".<br />
<br />
" Eppadi unga Hindi yevlo nalla iruke ? Naan sonne....idha kelange...yen unga Tamil yevlo kevlama iruka. "<br />
<br />
So climax of my trip ..it's good to count your blessings..!!<br />
<br />
1. My visit to see Ruth, it was a desire and a prayer made years ago. Yes, i did meet her last December in Shillong yet staying with her at her place was different.<br />
We had nanny talks. She took me out to the mall. We chatted for hours during the day. She asked me a question, jesse if you are to choose between -<br />
- A loving man and not understanding at all or<br />
- An understanding man and not loving at all ..whom would you choose ? for your partner..<br />
i couldn't choose...she then gave me a live example and then i gave her my answer. She also asked me to choose between<br />
"character, understanding, loving, good looking, settled, bad habits etc....what would my priority be." I was like..ahhhhh wait ..why are you asking me this ? She was like..'jesse .. you would never think about any of these, we know you well....so i need to prepare you'<br />
Truly a nanny... ;) i did give my answer :) We literally had a very good time..!! God bless her.<br />
<br />
2. Shhhhh...this will take a little more time. Probably you will not believe it. Yes.... you will not believe it. Those who do read my blogs know that i have quoted two dreams about meeting Bro. Zac Poonen. There were others also. And always in those dreams i would see another brother. Today those dreams are getting fulfilled slowly...Through a very good Brother, a very caring Brother who doesn't know me at all ... And he turned out to be an angel in disguise. As many are very caring people and do offer me help for my future matlab ( you got it right ) This Brother too wanted to help me....probably my posts must have indicated it...as i did not mention anything about this matter to him and he lead me to Bro. Zac and Bro. Zac to Sis Annie. Those who know me well would be able to imagine the heights of my excitement. Yet...wait a minute....God in His mercy, has been working out something in me..and i have become a little sober minded person these days and definitely for good..!!<br />
I am able to see it beautifully how God is working out things.<br />
<br />
3. Now the third one, Something has ignited a spark in Uncle...... Today, he kept speaking about my marriage. He never does that. He was like we will call this Bishop ( a very humble man ...please do not get carried away by the designations) , this Pastor and this Pastor. We will save this for you etc etc..i was amazed within, yet carried out a very normal look outside. BTW, at home we do not have many utensils in case we have guests coming in. Uncle and Aunty are not interested in that. Yet, do not know why..have been buying a lot of things since last year. Just in case. ;) Also, when i was in Shillong, there was a very good shopping complex. I really liked a set of plates. I got 4 to take back to Chennai. Everyone asked me ... 'there are just 3 at home right - Uncle, Aunty and you ? Why FOUR plates... i just smiled !!! :)<br />
<br />
4. Yes, and this was reallly good. Uncle's hair had grown long and he asked me to cut it around his ears today. Oh..i enjoyed it.<br />
He too was surprised..how much i was ..into it. I was jumping with joy...!! I do need to soon start my exercise and walking. Have gained at least 3-4 kilograms without doubt.<br />
<br />
So, getting back to Chennai, HOME sweet HOME..!!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So, let me give this post a little descriptive look.
Thus, I could narrate it well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">31<sup>st</sup> Jan 2015, my church had an all night
service and I had just arrived from Vellore in the morning ..so I got ready for
the service at night. I was supposed to go a bit early coz during the 31<sup>st</sup>
night service many would come to the church and it so happens that we do not
get a proper seat. So I packed my dinner and left for the church at 6:30 pm. We
had a blessed service and yes, my Father did speak to me. By 4 am the service
got over and I was back home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I slept from 4am to 7:30 am, and began planning the
rest of the day. It was a New year day, and I had requested something …a favor from
Uncle, it’s the grace of God how things had turned out due to something Aunty
had spoken to us the previous week. God helped me to grab the opportunity …. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So, as I am a person who plan things ahead, I had
already acquired the venue and timing of the CFC meeting for the 1<sup>st</sup>
of Jan. I was not very sure if things would turn out well. Also, I kept beating
my excitement antennae each time it tried dreaming about my first step into
CFC. I willfully kept a sober thought about this thing. So, Aunty was supposed
to come with me. We got delayed and somehow managed to get an auto to that
place. We were advised to get our vehicle by that Brother as there was lots of
parking place, yet ‘ jesse and driving with Aunty ?’ …… would Aunty allow that
?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We had a pretty long journey. We entered into the
street. I was given two landmarks. Yes, the church was pretty far away…..deep
inside…..at two or three instance we weren’t sure if we were heading to the
right place. We thought of calling the Brother who had guided me, yet we were
late now, and it would not have been appropriate to call him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we somehow managed to get there and …………. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Henceforth … I was as if it was all a dream. I am
not exaggerating …!! It was great. I could listen to a song being sung..i immediately
jumped out of the auto and peeped into the meeting place.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Oh..no it was packed …!! I wouldn’t get a place to
sit !!” Yet I was determined…!! Does jesse give up so easily…. ;)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So, I entered in bypassing a few believers. There
was a Brother who was busy repairing an electrical switch. “Excuse me brother,
we have come here for the first time. Could you arrange for us a seat please?’
Aunty had entered in by then. When Aunty saw this Brother…they recognized each
other…he was the husband of Aunty’s colleague. So, great…..seat with
recommendation… ;) just kidding…he would have done it even if he did not know
us. So he directed us to a Sister. She lead us inside and prepared <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a place on the mat to sit..i was fine yet
Aunty would not be able to sit on the floor <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>so I requested a seat for Aunty. And there….’ Wow
again’ another friend…Aunty met with another Sister who was her Sunday school
student in CSI. I quietly stood as it was the ‘praise and thanksgiving’ time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I would like to go more in detail yet I think I should
make it more precise. I was still in my dream world…I did not expect to see any
known face…I actually did not even desire it either…all I wanted was to ‘
attend my first CFC meeting’. It was a long praise and worship. I was surprised
that many common songs were sung. After returning home, I even shared this
thing with Uncle. Then we all sat. And a Brother shared the Word. Atleast 3-4
times this thought came appearing in my mind..”what if this was not CFC?” As we
did not ask anyone in specific. I looked around. There was a familiar poster on
the pulpit. The Brother who was sharing seemed to have a familiar face yet I wasn’t
sure. Then all of a sudden, I noticed that he had made a quote on ‘Tozer’ ……. ahhhhh
now I was sure this was CFC. Later he quoted Bro.Zac too. I was blessed. Yet I was
still numb … kind of a strange feeling… cannot explain by mere words….probably
no one can imagine….how God was fulfilling a dream and a desire so dear to me
that I had never even dared to pray about it. That’s why I began this post with
this <br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God’s ways are different indeed !!
He knows how to surprise you little child of God ;)</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At this moment, even as I am typing this post…I am
controlling my emotions from flooding out. “Father….i simply cannot express my
thankfulness to what You just gave me today.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So…where was i….? yes, the message..!!! When the
Brother completed his message..he asked us to stand..and poor jesse…having sat
on the floor for a long time, without shifting the leg position, my legs had
grown numb. I would have changed my leg position yet I was little cautious…come
on, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it was for the first time I was
there. A kutti boy just in front of me kept staring at me…as I was opening my English
Bible…he was all the while drawing something in his book. Now, how could I change
my position and so I just sat in that position the whole time. And when I stood…I
almost lost my balance. I held on to a sister next to me..and whispered slowly….’
Maa… kaal marithpoyithchi’ did you understand what I just typed…? Don’t worry
even those who know Tamil wouldn’t have… ;) ‘ my legs have become numb…sister’…!!
You know what happened next, this sweet little sister..bent down and massaged
my feet. I resisted ..yet she continued ..i thanked her. Then …we sat..and I just
knew what that Brother would announce next. Yessssssssssssssssssss</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Those who have come for the first time..could you
stand plizzz”….i looked at Aunty…she nodded and I stood. The sister who just
helped me with my extreme leg numbness also stood..even Aunty was standing by
then…..everyone turned back and looked …I felt little nervous…yet, i looked
straight to the Brother. So the service got over.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Aunty was busy chatting with her friends and I signaled
Aunty that we need to meet the Brother whom I had called the other day. We just
came to know that he was the same person who had given the Word of God. So we
went to him. He came smiling, he recognized me..and asked me why I did not call
him for the direction. I told him that we had thought it would disturb him. He
told me that he had kept the phone in general mode just for me and expected me
to call..later he had given the phone to his son telling him a sister would
call. Anyways, we spoke a little…Aunty’s Sunday school student also spoke a
few words to him about Aunty and I asked him to pray for us. He introduced us
to another sister and insisted on having lunch. So, we met Aunty’s collegue and
we explained we couldn’t wait. We were offered a vehicle to be dropped to the

So almost to the end of this year and probably this could be my last post...!!<br />
<br />
It is good to look back and see all the marvelous things God had done for us this year....!!<br />
Now what about the things you hoped for ? The things that remained unfulfilled !! Do you get angry at God or some person? What about when people much resembling to the friends of Job come and test you saying .. " God doesn't love you, that's why ....!!" or ' you had mistaken the voice of God..!'<br />
Doesn't it hurt when something like this is said...and you have no answer to give?<br />
<br />
Once a Pastor from our church had a major accident. The driver had run the car over the median and the window glass cracked and injured the Pastor who was sitting there..He had some injuries on his face and knees..etc..He was bed ridden..a hip dislocation also if i am not wrong. We had gone to see him and he asked Uncle..what do you think about this Pastor Ayya? Some say this accident was to test me, some say to prune me, some say it was the work of the devil and still some say that i had committed a sin !!<br />
<br />
I personally write blogs not that people should read it..it's my soul speaking to me. It's my Soul's ECG. So,...let me tell you what i could share about what i feel...my perspective ....<br />
<br />
Yes, even when i look back to this year. It was a significant year in many ways. God taught me many things..Yes, even i had hoped for some things which did not take place. Part of the certainty has gone away and so are some C9 experiences. Same with you isn't it ? :) God is not partial towards anyone..<br />
Now do you want to remain hooked up by these things.... !! NOOO... move on.. It's a brighter morning today...!! Remember one thing in life...<br />
<br />
' I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]' John 16:33<br />
The promise is...'in Jesus our peace...not in the world'..!! I personally need to run to this verse almost 4-5 times in a week. Trust me... Hope is what sustains me. My hope in Jesus...!! The world will one day fade away and all the other things ..yet His word will remain forever !!<br />
<br />
You know what...while many people suffered a lot during these floods...as a family we did not loose anything .... So should i bounce and shout .. "Hallelujah ... God loves me so much that He kept away the affects of the flood from me" ?<br />

RUBBISH !! I have to use this coarse word here...!! We are blind...!! If this was true..thousands of people - didn't God love them ? Of course He did....those who lost their lives ....it was because they were sinners is it ? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo !! Keep away such thoughts from your mind....!! <br />
" I don't become a Saint if only good things happen to me and no one becomes a sinner if bad things happen to them. BTW..who is the judge here ... to see if a thing is "good or bad"... !! Remember our sight is limited and we are mortal beings.<br />
<br />
Recently was going through a p interest link and read this inspirational quote and yes ..it was very effective<br />
<br />
" DO NOT JUDGE , You DON'T KNOW WHAT STORM I HAVE ASKED HER TO WALK THROUGH - GOD"<br />
<br />
So.... this is how i love to express my thoughts ..!!<br />
I deeply respect every child of God because "as i am so are they to God". I am no superior...!! <br />
Finally this link sums it up ( *** while you read the lyrics ..please note it's He and Him not he /him )<br />

Thank you...<br />
God bless you !!<br />

You know what, sometimes, when i write things for my blog, i get butterflies in my tummy. Seriously !! Today, let me share something about my MOP college life.. I have spoken a lot about WCC yet hardly ever about MOP.<br />
Now, probably i was among the quietest girl in the group, as i did not have many things in common with the rest of my classmates. It must have been hard for them to be friendly with me. They were a group of naughty...trust me......very naughty girls..!! <br />
<br />
So, i was known as the balabrahmachari there !! How did i get that ..it happened during our college tour to Cochin. hhaaa..that was really funny. The tour coordinators had booked a hotel for the three departments and that was the (Mass Communication, Media management and Broadcast..something ..) Fine, the funniest part was..there was a bar at the ground floor of the hotel and my naughty friends would peep from above to see what was going on downstairs.<br />
<br />
Now one final day..these girls had decided to go down and get into the bar and see what was going on inside and three of us were left in the room all by ourselves in the first floor. On their way these naughty girls had knocked at one of the door of another room which happened to be of a group of boys at the ground floor. After half an hour, when just three of us were in the room. I was in the hall room and the other two inside the bedroom. The doors were just shut and not bolted and there was this guy who so easily tip toed inside our room. I sensed some kind of a sound and looked behind me..almost about to scream. On seeing me ..... he apologized and said that he had come in by mistake...and i as '...' as i was..said ..ok!!..no problem..!!! It didn't click me at all. I did not understand what was happening!! He was still inside the hall room and then a girl from another department noticed him inside the room and on seeing him..she shouted..scolded and chased him outside. I was standing there like a statue and pillar ...... not even realizing what was happening..!! After 5 minute or so all my class girls had come in on hearing the shout and scream. This girl explained the situation to them and even narrated how jesse had reacted to the situation..They were like 'jesse...!!" i told them..i thought he had come in by mistake ..!!<br />
<br />
It was then that we had a round table conference and they all came to me with this question..'jesse are you going to marry ?' You...girl!!<br />
I told them 'no..! i wasn't !!! They tried convincing me ..... what if you get someone just like you....someone who loves God dearly..will you not consider..this was asked by Khadija..i replied..nothing doing 'NO'.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Why was i so sure about that ?</b><br />
<br />
When i was in my first or second year in WCC. Uncle and i, had gone for a meeting in Velacherry...after the meeting..we were staying with a couple..the girl was a friend of mine.. as i noticed that my friend was now married.....a sudden question arose in my heart.....probably that was <br />
the first time....' I asked the Lord......Lord what about my future ?' and then as i was reading the word of God...i was lead to the verse in Jeremiah 16:2<br />
<i>Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.</i><br />
<br />
That's it....it was from then i believed God wanted me to remain single..i believed it was His will..not just that... as You all must be knowing by now...am a big dreamer..so until then ..or maybe for another 2-3 years from then ...all the dreams i ever had about my marriage would be incomplete..somehow ..it wouldn't lead to marriage at all..in all my dreams 100 % of them..so i was so sure that God wanted me to remain single..!!<br />
<br />
<i><b>And thank God that guarded me during the 3-4 years of my college life..!! Thank You Father !! </b></i><br />
<br />
So i tried explaining this to my MOP friends and they stopped nagging me since then..and never pulled me into any adult talk !!<br />
<br />
So now it's been nearly 3 years....as God has been leading me in a different way and now am convinced that God's will for my future is to marry and not to remain single. I realized that this decision of mine wasn't shared with my MOP friends except for one of my closest friend. So how <br />
should i break this news ? I had an opportunity two months ago..yet i didn't have the guts to do so then...yet somehow today when a friend was sharing about her pregnancy news...i thought this was THE time and i let it out..let's see the reaction..probably they seem to be excited as if everything is already fixed!! .....Anyways!! Sweet friends indeed!!<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;">So this was a glimpse into it..my dear friends wished me as if i was announcing my marriage date ;)</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">Funny..anyways..to summon up...let me share a very very strange and yes confidential..dream( now..it will no longer remain so)</span><br />
<br />
This dream is dated 3rd June..2014!! Let me try to quote the exact words from my diary ...... BTW somethings i wouldn't reveal as of now !! ;)<br />
<br />
"I saw a dream....there was this man...definitely .....looking and all i remember was his father also..... ...!! This boy was supposed to ........ am not sure yet i used to marry him ..... and i remember...........( i remember that the people around me..probably from my husband's side were staring at me...) i remember getting down the building (or church) and my husband was missing...everyone <br />
around considered me to be a very immature girl..they were all staring at me!!!! They considered Mercy to be smart. So, we ( Mercy,Ruth and i) were waiting for my husband to come and pick us up. So my husband comes in his car and picks us up.... all of us..and before that he goes and gets a book for Mercy about 'single hood ' or something.........................Then he calls me for help if i wished to. In my dream i realized that he wanted to give me responsibility ................. In my dream - in my heart - i loved him and he too was a very good man !! Such a strange dream....first time ever...i was already married in my dream..!!" When i woke up that morning...i had a very light feeling...a sense of joy and ease !!<br />
<br />
<br />
Strange and really strange..!!! Anyways...that's it...... my work is done..have announced it....at least now..!!! it's never too late !!!<br />

This was not the case some 3-4 years ago. I used to fear
that having a discussion with a person who is not saved would make me alike (
such a selfish thought or maybe I wasn’t ready then.)</div>

Today ‘the tug of war’ is stronger on my side!!! I have a SUPER CHAMPION with me ;) !!</div>

Unlike many believers, I had the opportunity to live in an
atmosphere where I was the only Christian!!( just by name then) I was far from
Christ. When God saved me, I was still vulnerable .. He had given me the
strength yet I needed another touch. So, I really thank God for the guardian
He provided me. Guardian over my soul…tough like an iron. I needed it !! Yes …. it’s
true!! I had to undergo strict discipline which was bitter then, yet today I praise
God. Thank You Lord. The world outside just saw the iron fence that was around
me yet God was tenderly sowing seeds of fruits and flowers around me .. unseen to many eyes !!</div>

Today…now…having received light, I think it’s time to help
others see it. Recently, I have been thinking a lot about my friends – some of
them are too good and how could I leave them into the snare of the satan. I don’t
mind if they tag me as one who wants to convert them – all I wish for them is
that they too be a partaker of the joy the Lord has given me and is continuing to do even
more!!!</div>

Hmm.!! So i always never wished to go to a Marriage Bureau, yet at the same time i always knew that God sometimes works in different ways. So one of a very close uncle lead us to a Marriage Bureau, and this was a church i really respected. So i had given my photograph and biodata which was listed in the file for ' Post Graduate - Brides '. So it was a monday evening and i was there along with my uncle.<br />
<br />
As soon as i entered in, the sister in charge ( a very aged women), looked at me and said, ' you look so different, look how you appear in this photograph'. I just smiled. Then i was given files and asked to first consider the age and decide. I nodded. Yet it was then i realized '<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="background-color: white;">how spiritual i was</span></span>'. On my way back home i had to repent of many thoughts that i had in my mind that day.<br />
<br />
Instead of looking at other details, my eyes right away fell on the photographs.! And next was height ! And next was education ! And then expectation ! Doesn't sound very spiritual right ?<br />
<br />
Thank God, He was faithful to show me my shortcomings..!! Thank You Lord..!!!<br />
<br />
At the same time, there were some hilarious things too..!! I was amazed at how bold,open and faithful people could be. Like some fair brothers had written (in the expectation column) - Should be beautiful !! Wow !! Fair !!!<br />
<br />
This was a nice thing i noticed. Almost everyone had put down a very realistic figure about their salary. I was happy to see that. There were even 4 figure numbers.<br />
<br />
Also very recently my eyes fell into this thing and i laughed out really loud. Someone had described about himself as V.fair .....!! Pahhh.....and there was another..V.V Fair !! huhhhh!!! I am speaking about guys here !<br />
<br />
Yes, got little attracted at this particular biodata ;) An Assistant Commissioner or something ... WOW !! Height some 6.3 feet ,....!! Cool..!! Then i read the expectation - want a girl of not less than 5.5 feet..ha ha ha..!! I laughed out !!! Had a nice experience though !!<br />
<br />
Then was the climax..!! I suddenly noticed that the particular sister ( in charge) was observing me as i was flipping the pages very fast. So i just pretended as if i was seriously reading through each bio data ;). Then she said in a very loud tone, and this was so embarrassing in front of every other couple sitting there. 'Look at this girl, she pointed at me'. What kind of a picture she has submitted. She looks so different. You look good this way. Go..! Go and get another..there is a studio outside!! I didn't know where to hide my face. Thank God, Uncle was with me. I just smiled at everything. Then after a pause, she said. So everyone sitting here ....don't decide by just looking at a picture. That person might be looking much better than that.<br />
<br />
Hmmm...!! So Uncle had picked out one and asked me !! I just nodded and we collected the information. That sister asked me openly..Soooo yettane pudhichiruka ? ( How many did you like ?) I looked at uncle. He replied for me ..! :)<br />
<br />
Then we said good bye and left. Before leaving she reminded me again...!!<br />
<br />
The very thing of choosing someone seeing a photograph !! hmmm!!! Yet God has united many of His children this way too..! So.....................!! So.................!!!<br />

<h2>
<span style="color: #990000;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">God's dealing with jLH</span></b></span></h2>
<br />
Some 3-4 years ago, all i remember praying
at every meeting, every gathering, was "Lord', give me Eternal Rest -
Don't make me sway..!!<br />
<br />
Today, when i look back, i thank God for the way He has brought me thus far...!<br />
I
don't know about my brothers & sisters in Christ, yet for me { even
though i am currently part of a a <i>pakka</i> Pentecostal Church ;) } God does things very
subtly in my life..almost always. Yet, the things He does are always
like a two edged sword that pierces through my soul, making me realize
it is HE who has done it!<br />
..... from providing my needs, to directing my steps <span style="color: blue;">EVERYTHING </span>.<br />
When i need something, He doesn't make '<i>oil flow out from a jar</i>'. He sends it through <i>someone.</i><br />
<br />
When He doesn't like <i>something i do</i>, there is a loud '<i>Bang</i>', & the door gets closed.<br />
<br />
Oh, He does test me many a times. I know He likes doing that so that i could grow spiritually. <br />
<br />
He makes me realize <i>my weaknesses </i>& stretches forth <i>His hand of help </i>to lift me up.<br />
<br />
When i get <i>proud</i>, He immediately <i>humbles me</i>.<br />
<br />
Recently nearly 3-4 weeks ago,
i experienced a similar thing that i had gone through some 5 years ago - <i>God encouraging me by just a sentence written somewhere.</i>
I was in a place called Periyapalayam, a little outskirts region in
the North of Chennai. We were made to
stay in a village like area and were given a complete house to for three days. It
was night and Uncle was sitting in the veranda as there was cool breeze
blowing there. I was on my bed ( actually a sofa cum bed). It was nearly
11 or 12 midnight, i am not sure of the exact time. I wasn't feeling sleepy and was actually not
even thinking anything in particular. Yes, i was having severe stomach cramps (Due to food disorder, i had developed some severe
stomach cramps the entire week and this was a Friday. ) yet that
didn't bother me much. <br />
<br />
At about 12, suddenly there was heavy
thunder and lightning and Uncle came rushing in. Actually rain water was
entering inside the room through the windows. Here was Uncle entering
in carrying his chair, and i was looking at the ceiling. He looked at
me with amazement that i was still awake. Something happened within me
and i began to weep. Seriously, i still can't figure out what exactly
was the cause. After a while i wiped my tears and asked Uncle to pray
and i was about to sleep. Yet, my weeping really disturbed Uncle. For another 1
and a half hours, he was asking me what was the cause of my
weeping...did someone say something, did i say something, did someone do
something, did you receive any call, what happened?, you want to return to Chennai, want a doctor ??? What jesse??<br />
<br />
I said no,no, no..none of the above!!! I assured him that it was not a serious thing and that i wouldn't share. He asked me to
tell the truth if it was something he should know..i again assured him
that it wasn't anything serious. Actually there was a flow of emotional
outburst..i never experienced such a thing before. My heart was still little
heavy though Uncle was fine now. As there wasn't any electricity line in
the rest room ( there was a bulb yet no flow of current ) and it was
situated outside the house ..inside the compound and it was raining heavily
adding a little more weight to what i was feeling. I borrowed Uncle's
cellphone to use his torch, {why didn't i use mine ? coz if the phone
slips from my hand in the rest room...in case...yes..am little selfish
;)}<br />
ok ok... Let me come to the climax of this long story..............<br />
<br />
As i opened the bolt of the rest room, my eyes fell into something - the most beautiful words one could ever find in a time as such.<br />
<br />
On the wall, with colourful sketchwork there was a writing .. "a three worded sentence "<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: magenta;">JESUS <span style="color: red;">LOVES</span> <span style="color: black;">YOU</span></span></h3>
Ahhhhhhh.....tears
began to flow down my cheeks....Oh, Jesus, at a time as this, and as
silly as i was, You bothered to encourage me and show me how much You
cared for me ? Oh Lord...., can't believe it ..You did it for me ( Have
never ever seen such a thing written in a rest room during any ministry visit ).<br />
"<i>No one can boast about their love for Christ. His love for us surpasses all understanding!!</i> "<br />
<br />
God has been, is & will always be good to me..!!<br />

It's easy to know how much a person honour's God by observing his texting style or simply observing his status...!!! Yes, it's true that there might be a percentage of error here...still...most of the time it proves right. At the same time, we shouldn't judge the person...All i am trying to share is a ' SCALE' which has proven accurate most of the times...!!!<br />
<br />
I very frequently point out this to believers especially those who do it out of ignorance. What lead me to write this article is a conversation i had with an old classmate of mine..let's have a glimpse into it..... <br />

<br />
13/07/2015, 12:39 am - S: It wasn't intended....GN...<br />
<br />
I take time to read the status of different people in my wattsap, as it indicates their current mood, and there i have observed how little we care about honoring God. We are very careful about the names of people, even nick names are jotted down with a caps....yet Lord, God, Saviour, sometimes even Jesus is written in small letters. It's also true that we could be a first class hypocrite and <br />
write down Jesus as JESUS yet our hearts might be far away from Him and by our words we blow a horn about our dedication towards Him. In either case, may we always honour Him in all possible way..!!! Amen<br />

This was on a particular Tuesday night, as i was returning from a meeting in my scooty. Yes, the red one...You are right..!! It was around 8:00 or 8:15 pm i believe..!!<br />
So i was thinking about the night meal and decided to make keerai curry (greens) for Uncle in the same manner as was prepared by an Aunty in Malaysia.<br />
<br />
So i bought the greens from a nearby vegetable market. It was drizzling heavily and i had to buy coconut to extract coconut milk as this was the important ingredient of the curry.<br />
<br />
Now, as known to many, i would always prefer all dishes devoid of coconut. Even at home when coconut <i>chutney</i> is prepared, an alternative chutney is kept ready for me..sometimes tomato or sometimes <i>sambhar</i>.So, i never touch a coconut curry '<i>kurma</i>' being the top in the list). This is very much known to Aunty. Yet, (<i>please keep this a secret ;) </i>) sometimes while travelling when people give me a coconut curry or chutney..and if i have no other alternative ... i do gulp it...quietly without any noise....!! Yes, a true confession ..i never do that at home....never settle for that...the reason being ...<br />
' <i><b>when people come to know that jesse has started eating coconut..my daily meals would begun to get flooded by that scrapped coconut.....white and tender....slimy...tasteless yet not tasty...etc etc etc...!!!!</b></i>' I hope You have understood my situation well ...!!!<br />
<br />
So, i had a mission ...and that was to buy a small piece of coconut that would have no left overs when used in a single meal. Yes...i had to prepare an underground meal that day..!! shhhhhh<br />
<br />
What would i do then ??<br />
i got a click...there was a shortcut route to reach my home and in that route there were many small shops. These shops were for people who wouldn't buy much.. mainly for the people who lived on daily wages. i felt this was THE answer to my ......!!! Now the next question was...<br />
<br />
<b>'How should i buy a single piece of coconut ???? '</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Asking for a piece or two would be unwise as '<i>piece</i>' is not a standard measurement.<br />
<i>Grams</i> - hmmm, i wasn't sure how much it would weigh ( yes....yes...i know i should as i am a physicist....!!)<br />
<br />
Ok, what i thought would be best was to observe...!! So, i parked my scooty nearby a small shop that was flooded with chips packets, biscuits, some local sweets etc and i observed how others were buying their food items. I soon realized it was in 'rupees' as their measurement like... <i>Parrupa pattu ruba - </i>Pulses for 10 rupees, <i>poondu anja ruba - </i>Garlic for 5 rupees..etc.<br />
<br />
Now i was extremely happy as i could begun my part soon. So i was there with my raincoat on, my helmet in my left hand, bag in my right hand and <i>sandals on both my feet</i> ... ;) that was just an extra fitting ..!! Lets continue...<br />
<br />
I asked the shopkeeper..."Tenga - coconut " ..... Anja rubaka ( for Rs 5)<br />
There was silence...!! Did i make a mistake? He shrunk his eyebrows and said '5'rupees...no ma....you need to buy it for '6' rupees...i smiled and said ..Ok ok ..please give me "taanga' and he gave me two or three pieces of coconut.<br />
<br />
Then my eyes fell upon the bunch of bananas. They looked fresh and i thought 3 would do for a single meal. Yet again..... how would i initiate the buying phenomenon.<br />
So, i asked ...'<i>vazhaparam</i>' (bananas) <i>yavalo</i> (how much) ?<br />
Since i was pointing towards a particular branch .. He said Rs 5.<br />
<br />
Now..i don't know why, yet i said something baseless....!!<br />
<br />
FYI, I do buy vegetables....!! i love to...!! i get them from the supermarket. It's very easy out there. You have transparent plastic sheets and you collect how much of each vegetable you like...and at the end you are charged for the bulk at the counter. You need not bargain at all...!<br />
Today, all i know is, the approx. price for a <i>16 or 32 GB pen-drive</i>, the online and market price for a <i>slim back up plus external hard drive</i>, the price difference between <i>Hitachi and Optoma projector</i>, the price difference between <i>LED and power saver bulbs</i>, etc etc...<br />
<br />
Now how would i know the price of a <i>country banana</i>, which had the size of an inch more than my palm. All i have heard is that 'banana' is a poor man's fruit. So, i was there standing with all these questions in my mind.<br />
<br />
I don't know why ...yet i asked him..<br />
<br />
' <i><b>Oru Vaazhaparam ? </b></i>' ( 5 rupees for one banana ?)<br />
<br />
The shopkeeper bursted out with laughter. I stood there silent..... He said to me "<b><i>Then what...was i telling you the price for - 'half a banana' ??"</i></b> and he began laughing again...!!<br />
<br />
What could i do.... i joined in his laughter...became a partaker of his joy...!! ;) ha ha ha !!<br />
<br />
So, i finally bought the two items...( coconut + 3 bananas) safely wrapped in a single newspaper. i rode back home and slyly placed the coconut on the kitchen rack. Prepared the curry with <br />
coconut milk extract and left no clue about the Rs 5 ..ohh sorry... Rs 6 coconut..!!<br />
<br />
THE END ... paah !!! phew...!!<br />
<br />

One of my favorite song ...<br />
<br />
You've allowed suffering in my life,<br />
Suffering You've allowed in my life,<br />
To mould me, to break me,<br />
To make me, what i am.<br />
<br />
You've allowed suffering in my life,<br />
Suffering You've allowed in my life.<br />

How much more, i know not,<br />

<span style="color: red;"><b> Traveling !!</b></span></h2>
<br />
Yup !! the last post before a month long travel !! Almost all of my friends know that 'i love traveling'. One of the thing that excites me is traveling..may be it a - <i>chota </i>auto ride or a <i>lamba </i>train travel. It gives me immense pleasure. The best would be when i get to ride my scooter ..all alone..all by myself. I enjoy every breeze that strikes against my cheek. At times, when the road is empty especially the Adyar road, i kind of pick up my speed and enjoy when the air actually makes me float. Its then i feel like a 'car racer' :) !!! yet no competition here..i just enjoy the moment.<br />
<br />
Yes...what about traveling long distances ... sometimes it does bring uneasiness in my guts. When i travel alone..all by myself i am reminded of the fact that ' no one ' can be a companion like Jesus who is willing to accompany me wherever i go ( definitely where He is willing me to go!!) While traveling i often set my wattsap status as 'Jesus and jesse @ Salem', 'Jesus and jesse @ Kotagiri' or 'Jesus and jesse @ Bangalore' etc etc...<br />
<br />
I think i need to stay close ..really close to His word these days ..<span style="color: blue;"> John 16:33</span>..only in Him (Jesus) i will have perfect peace and confidence!! Yes only in Jesus!! Just like on the mount of transfiguration Peter, James and John had the glorious .. heavenly experience ..yet after everything said and done.. they could see <span style="color: purple;">'Jesus ONLY'.</span><br />
<br />
Yes..in this world i will have trails, tribulations, frustrations and what not..yet will be of good cheer coz Jesus has overcome the world ..In Him alone i will have peace ... may this promise deeply settle in every vein, tendon and morrow of my body.<br />
And yes...i will take this peace from Him and like a moon reflects the light from the Sun, so shall i reflect this peace and confidence that i receive from the Sun/'SON' and reflect it to the world !!!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"> <b>Hi-five Jesus!!! :)</b></span><br />

Rain .. rain go away !!</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a casual and short writeup that i wish to post. God listens to the most insignificant prayer, this thrills me and makes me stand in awe of His might and humility at the same time. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yesterday while i was drying piles of white clothes on the drying wire tied from one tree to another, i looked up to the sky and it was a cloudy day. The dark clouds were stretched across the sky and it looked like it would rain at any moment. I had so many clothes to be dried and these couldn't be accommodated inside the house, i prayed within myself..'enchanted a nursery rhyme......'</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"> Rain..rain go away.. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"> Come again another day</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"> jesse wishes to dry her clothes today</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"> Rain..o..rain go away !!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and from above .... i received an 'Amen'. :)</div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Jesus is a person !!!!</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yes !! Jesus is God and yet He is a person.... How can i treat Him as if He doesn't exist or as if He is only an<span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="color: red;">'On Demand Aladdin Genie'.</span> </span>No! not so!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
First of all, i have to myself repent of all the numerous occasions when i did not show Him the due respect that i would have easily shown to any person whether known or unknown.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For example when we speak to someone or even message someone, do we abruptly stop the conversation and get ourselves involved into something else .. No !!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We all have the courtesy to at least end the conversation by saying a 'Bye' or 'take care'. <span style="color: #38761d;">Yet when it comes to Jesus, we have taken things for granted. </span><span style="color: #b45f06;">"If you will not consider Him as a person, He will also not be revealed to you as a person".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That was the mistake i was making for many years..i have innocently even cried in the name of Jesus...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Holy Spirit i know You..i can hear Your voice daily...!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Father i know You...i am witnessing Your love daily..!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jesus..i don't know You as i should or as i see other Godly men and women do ...!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh!! He never revealed Himself to me as a person because i never considered Him to be one..He was only God to me...By this i mean i knew that He was a person too..yet i never practiced it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I never gave Him my daily 'Good mornings..' maybe once in a while ... nor did i ever give Him my sweet 'good nights'. I never smiled at him when He did many caring and marvelous things for me. Oh!! i never considered Him what i should have ....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Life would have become so wonderful had i followed this earlier..yet its not late even now...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Am i right Jesus ???? :) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I can start this today..from this very second.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You said it in the book of John.."in this world you will have many troubles, but be of good cheer..because i have overcome this world."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
What a promise! I need not be worrying about my future, my needs or about any relationship.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh!! You have overcome everything !! Recently i have begun to pray this way...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
" Lord!! may the level of relationships in my life be imbalanced !! always..."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What ?? imbalanced ..are you serious jesse ???</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Surprised !! Yes that's what i mean it to be. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jesus should always be the occupant of the highest level of all relationships. It's only after Him that others would get filled. Let it be anyone...even someone who is now very dear to me !!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jesus first..... then the rest...!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So always an imbalance. Never should this level be</div>
straighten up, even after my marriage, even after i have a couple of kids :).....<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jesus 'THE highest' and then others....!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
How can this be made possible ?? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1) By having a close fellowship with Jesus. 2) By the power of the Holy Spirit.</div>
