Bible Verse : Luke 11.9
Date : October 13, 2009
Today it is pouring in the bay area. I need an Umbrella desperately to go to work as I have to walk 10 mins from the train station. If you have read my previous blogs, you would have known by this time that tuesdays & thurdays are a bit of a rush for me as it is my turn to drop the kids at school and run to catch the 8 am train.
All the umbrellas at home had torn or broken except one gigantic umbrella. Last night, I asked my husband where it was and he said it must be in the van. I closed the house, threw my bags in the van and started searching the van. I found the small one which was ready to break and not the big one. I was frantic. I took the small one and said aloud, almost in a crying voice, 'Lord, please help me' and looked around in the garage and couldn't locate the big umbrella.
I decide to take the small broken one and got into the van. I looked at the passenger seat for my handbag and it was not there. I had the lunch bag, but not the handbag. I was puzzled. I brought both the bags out of the house. Where could have it gone? I was on 'Panic'
mode now. I remember putting down the bags for a few seconds on the steps near the ddor to the kichen before picking it up. So, I ran to the door. There it was on the steps! I was trying to figure out in my head, 'How could I have done this? I remember taking both the bags and placing them on the passenger seat! I bent to pick up the bag and turned my eyes to the right. What was that I see! The big umbrella that I was searching for all this time! I said 'Praise the Lord' loudly and started the van. My kids looked at me like I was crazy.
Lesson I learned:
People that read this blog might think that I am crazy to make this as a big deal. But, I honestly believe that it was a miracle that God did to help me find the umbrella. The point is whether big or small, God answers our prayer/request when we call upon him and seek him. The bible says in
Luke 11:9
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

His innocent blood was shed for me!
Daily Blessings - Journal 10/06/09
Bible Verse : 1 Peter 2:24
Date: October 6th 2009
My kids school issued a new rule saying that parents who are volunteering at school or even for a field trip need to complete a TB test. So, I went to the lab to get the test done and waited for 20 minutes for the blood to be drawn. When my name was called, the technician greeted me, asked me to sit down and started looking for a needle. I usually tell the technician to use the butterfly needle as it is not an easy task for them to find the vein on my body to draw blood. The technician obliged, took the butterfly needle and started drawing the blood with the first tube. When she was half way through she dropped the tube or the tube fell down - I couldn't really tell what happened. She smiled and said 'Hmm...I guess the tube doesn't want to stay with me'!.
Immediately, she went on to take two more tubes and started drawing blood in the second tube. I looked down and the tube was still down. It was not broken or anything. With Curiosity, I asked her if they needed 3 tubes of blood for the test. She answered 'No, we only need 2 tubes'. I was getting a little bit irritated and asked her 'In that case, aren't you going to use the first tube that is on the floor?'. The technician replied 'No, I can't use it. It is not full. It fell down before it was full and so I can't use it'. I started to get upset thinking that she didn't even have the courtesy to say 'Sorry' and on top of it she is telling me that she is going to draw more blood! At this moment, I said with an unnatural smile on my face, 'Oh! so, you are wasting my blood!'
By this time she had completed the 3rd tube and taken the needle off of my hand. She bent down and took the tube that was on the floor and showed it to me and said, 'Well, it is not a lot....It is less than half and I can't bend to pick it up from the floor while drawing the blood'. Hearing that statement made me really angry. I was thinking, 'How dare she talks about the amount of blood being wasted, it is my blood, I need to talk to the Supervisor'. While all these thoughts were going on in my mind, suddenly, the question came to my mind - 'What about the blood that was shed on the cross?'. Immdediately, I just got up, said 'bye' to the technician and walked towards the parking lot.
As I started walking towards my van, the sadness about the cross came over me like someone was choking me. When I reached my van, tears started rolling on my cheeks. I felt like crying uncontrollably. I cried and prayed, 'Lord, please forgive me for my sins, you shed the blood for my sins and thousand 'sorry' won't be enough.'. How much blood must have run all over your body when you were struck and nailed on the cross! The calvary picture stood in front of my eyes.
Lesson I learned:
I thought to myself - I got angry because the technician wasted less than couple of spoons of my blood. How much the Father should be angry with us for wasting gallons of blood from His own son's body?! But, He didn't. He loved us so much that He sent His only son to die for us and shed blood for us. ! The bible says in 1 Peter 2:24
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
Though we are Christians, we get so angry and upset when others do some mistakes and don't apologize. My prayer is that God will give me the patience to bear others mistakes and help me to show the love that He has shown on me and this world.

Be kind and Compassionate!

Bible Verses:Ephesians 4:32
Date April 23, 2009
Today, I had to work from home as I had to attend a meeting early in the morning to accommodate the people from the east. Usually, on Thursdays, I drop the kids and my husband picks them up from the school. Since I was home, I picked up the kids. As I was driving towards home, I noticed few birds were sitting on the street. As the cars approached them, most of the birds flew away. There was this one bird that looked like a seagull didn’t move an inch with all the 'buzzing' cars around it. My anxiety grew as I was driving closer and closer to the bird. I was hoping that the bird would fly away, but it didn’t. With the last minute decision to avoid hitting the bird, I turned my big van to the left forgetting that I was moving the car onto oncoming traffic. Thank God…There were no cars on the opposite side of the road. Once I realized my mistake, I was able to quickly straighten the van back .
I was thinking aloud ‘God, please don’t let the bird be hit'. When all these things were going on, my kids were watching from the backseats with their eyes wide open. I looked through the side mirror to make sure the bird flew away or at least not hit. But, to my amazement, it looked like the bird was still on the street somewhat limping or slowly walking. Since it was a 35 to 40 miles street, I couldn't really tell if anything happened to the bird. My daughter asked me quickly ‘Mom, did you crush the bird?’. I said, ‘No baby, but I hope the birdy is not hurt….Can you please pray for the bird?’. My son started praying immediately. He said ‘Lord, please help the birdy not to be hurt’. I thought to myself, ‘what a simple and powerful prayer’!. Before I finished my thought, My daughter started praying ‘Lord, please help the bird not to be hurt, especially if it has a nest and the little chicks are waiting for their mother to bring food , please help the birdy to go back to the chicks’. For a few seconds, I didn't know how to react to such a lovely prayer! It really brought tears to my eyes…. It touched my heart and soul! What a compassionate heart for an 8 year old…Right there, I knew in my heart that God must have heard those prayers and looked down and smiled at my kids…
Lesson I learned:
The scripture says to be kind and compassionate to one another. As far as I know, it only talks about human beings. But, my daughter went one step beyond and showed compassion for those unseen little chicks. Children are so simple minded and so loving. No wonder, Jesus told us to be like 'child like'. I like the way KJV describes
Ephesians 4:32 : And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another....
What a beautiful word 'tenderhearted'!...

Bible Verses: Psalm 103: 1-3
Date: September 1st 2009
Today was the second day of school for the kids. I was tired from work. I had to take care of a phone business at costco. But my husband wanted to go out to buy some school stuff for kids. So, I stayed back and was helping the kids do their homework. My son was very fussy and did not want to do his home work. It was about writing sentences for the given words. After an hour of struggle, he still had a few words left to write. As it was getting late for supper, I tried to help him to write the sentence for the word 'sit'. I started saying 'I sit on......what?', thinking that he will say 'sofa' or 'chair'. His eyes were just focused on the roof and he was not saying anything for a few moment. Even though it was only a few seconds, it felt very long as I was expecting him to complete it quickly and move on to write the sentence for the next word.
At this point, I lost my patience and started raising my voice asking what he was doing looking at the roof. Suddenly, there came a little voice that said 'I sit on my mom's lap'. At first, I couldn't hear very well what he said. So I asked him 'what did you say?'. With his angelical smile and a little bit of shyness on his face, he said it again 'I sit on my mom's lap'. My heart melted like the ice-cream and leaped with joy. My anger and frustration vanished in a split second. All I could say was 'Oh, My Baby, Oh, My Baby' giving him lots of flying kisses. It was one of those 'cho cho' moment! I was very proud to be a mom. I was so happy to see that He remembered to say that.
Lesson I learned:
If, we, human beings can be so loving and forgiving by our kids words of praise or rememberance, how much more will God be pleased if we, His children remember and thank Him for all the things that He has done for us. David was a man of praise and prayer. He always remembered to thank God and praise His name.
In Psalms 103 he says:
1 Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-
3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases

Bible verse :Psalms 139: 1-4
Date: September 3rd 2009
My husband & I alternate dropping and picking up the kids on each day of the week. The general agreement is that I drop the kids on Tues & Thurs. This week I had to work on late schedule on a Wednesday and so I decided to drop the kids. My husband got delayed and ended up using the bath room right when the kids were supposed to get ready ;-(. Morning stress always upsets me and I ended up raising my voice at the kids to get ready quickly as I didn't want to miss my 8 am train. I was feeling very bad about it yesterday. Today is my turn to drop the kids again. As I got up, showered and started reading the Bible, I saw my husband in the kitchen. I was stressed again thinking that he is going to delay going into the bathroom and the kids and I are going to be late again!. Unfortunately, we can't use the showers in both the bathrooms at the same time due to water pressure problems. As I was thinking about telling him to go into the bathroom right away and finish his bath quickly, he went into the computer room. You can imagine how nervous and stressed I was!
Right at that moment, I got that little tap on my shoulder which said 'Don't say anything, just keep thanking God and pray'. Immediately, I said in my heart, 'Thank you Lord, please you take care of the situation, I am not going to open my mouth and say anything to my husband'. To my amazement, my husband turned around from the computer room before even I finished praying and went straight to the bathroom and finished his bath exactly at the same time when the kids got up. What a relief! I was thinking....how the Holy spirit turns around the situation in a matter of few milliseconds.
Lesson I learned:
When we surrender everything to God, even if it is as silly as my problem, He cares and listens and takes care of it even before we finish praying! That is the beauty of it all! Because He is "All knowing God"!. But, we have to constantly keep reminding ourselves to ask and receive His Mercies and Grace at any time, for anything and anywhere. The Psalmist describes beautifully, how God knows even our thoughts:
“O LORD, Thou has searched me and know me. Thou hast known when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my thoughts from afar. Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down, and art intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, O LORD, Thou dost know it all” (Psalms 139:1-4).

Bible verses from : 1 Thessalonians, 5:16-18
Day: September 17th 2009.
Today,God taught me a valuable lesson -- Be humble and pray for everything. Since it was Thursday, it was my duty to drop the kids at school. Keren had to go to the Bell Choir practice at 7:50 am and so we rushed out of the home around 7:30 am. When I started the car, I realized that there was enough time. I thought to myself, 'Haah, I have enough time to get to the train station and there is no need to rush'. As usual, the kids prayed for the safety when I started the van. To my surprise, Keren started praying, 'Lord, help us to get to school on time and help mommy to catch the train and go to work on time'. Simeon follwed his sister and did the same. I said 'Thank you babies, but you didn't have to pray for mommy, I will have enough time to get to the train'. Usually, we get delayed and I ask the kids to pray. Today, I was so confident that I can reach on time that I didn't even need the pryer! Well...I was soooo wrong!
As we reached the school alittle early, I told the kids to wait in the car a few more minutes as the door for the classroom was locked. After a few minutes, I dropped the kids and looked at the clock and it was 7:54. It will take about 8 to 10 minutes to reach the train station. The train was at 8:06. I could still make it. As I was coming out of the parking lot, I saw about 6 to 7 cars waiting in front of me to turn into the street. This was the first time, I have seen that many cars waiting before me. Myheart started pounding....I had to wait a full 3 minutes before all ofthe cars iin front of me cleared. As I got into the street, my hope of catching the train started to fade slowly. I started to accelerate and try to over take slow cars and avoid signals by taking another street. To my dismay, I was stopped at the Amtrak train crossing. It is very rare that I have been stopped at the railway crossing. I said, 'This is it, I will miss the train'. Then, I started praying 'Lord, help me, if it is your will that I shouldn't catch the train, that is fine.'.
The train crossing gate opened quickly and I almost decided that there is no way I was going to make it and didn't rush any more. As I entered into BART and parked, I looked up and the train was still there. Then, it dawned on me that the kids prayed about it. Now, my fear was what if the train leaves before I get down and go on the escalator! Well....there was only one way! I prayed,"Dear Lord, please honor my children's prayer" and ofcourse, He did. I boarded the train and within a few seconds, the doors closed behind me. With unbelief, I looked at the big clock in the station and it was 8:07, a minute past the actual time. Uusually,the train leaves on time. Even if it is 1 minute, God made it possible for me to catch the train on time by humbling me, honoring my request and especially my kids request. He also made it clear to me that I need to rely on Him and pray about everything!
That night, during our family prayer, I confessed to the kids and told them how God taught me a lesson.
Lesson I learned :
Always pray about everything, whether it is a small or big problem. Give thanks and praise God for the situation and tell him that let everything happen according to His will.
The bible says in
1 Thessalonians 5 :
16 Rejoice always;
17 pray without ceasing;
18 in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
