I'll still believe

Christmas was wonderful. I was just greeted into Christmas with greetings from friends. The feeling was great and spirits were high. Just moments ago, while waiting for Christmas, I was feeling so sleepy and tired. But once , the moment came . I was all excited and the meaning of Christmas really sank into my heart. This Christmas is really different. A wonderful and special Christmas!

The morning of Christmas was greeted with a one-storey high fire, because the car park just beside my block was on fire. It is probably arson fire. The fire was really high; anything possibly could happen there could be expolsion because of the petrol tanks in the vehicles and the nearby power supply building. The whole experience, taught me the preciousness of life. But also at the other end, taught me to pray for souls that are lost. It was a structured – experience , wanting me to step out from my comfort zone. Then later, in the morning, something else happened in my home , my sister had gotten her “ red-card”. According to the Indians or the Hindu religion, I am not sure whether it is a religious practice or a cultural practice. We will need to call our immediate relatives to our place, to signify the girl of the house had reached adulthood. This whole practice will take several days; because they will have to flower bath her in odd days. So later in the day, I was expecting relatives to be in my house. But it was Christmas, and I had some plans for the day. I had lunch date and Christmas service to attend. And later, Christmas visitation to my friends’ place. But after this, I knew I will not be allowed to leave home, but somehow my mum agreed me to attend the lunch and Christmas service. I was thankful for the allowance to go. I was able to go! Thank you, God!

I received several letters from sisters, encouraging me to a closer and fervent walk; and some small gifts! Thank you!

One letter that made me ponder and disturbed me was from my CD , she wrote that she sensed me losing my zeal to my faith and my r/s was not personal . And made me make this prayer to God:

Dear God ,

I pray and ask thee , lord you will teach me to have the faith of a child . I will learn to let go of myself and allow you to take control over me . Teach me to depend and trust upon you. Let me marvel at the grace you had extended to me , O lord. Let this Christmas be the time , I will be drawn closer to you and experience the beautiful Love , you have given.
Christmas isn’t Christmas till it happens in the heart. So God allow this Christmas to be one that happens in my heart.

Wishing Everyone a Blessed Christmas!
