Pray For Australia

Our heart felt thanks to all that has joined hands with us in prayer for rain. The picture displayed is of the rain clouds in my area yesterday. I am reminded of the below promise from His Word.

’14 Since we have this confidence, we can also have great boldness before Him, for if we present any request agreeable to His will, He will hear us.

15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we also know that we have obtained the requests we ask of Him ’

1 John 5:14-16

Dear Brothers and Sisters from Australia and all over the World, if the Lord stirs your heart rally your church and pray in unity + agreement as we believe nothing is impossible for our miracle working God. Critics will keep ridiculing… Take advice from the Word and ignore the words of those that makes no sense. That will keep your peace to concentrate on things that matter and will make a difference.

The Lord is looking for people with faith that believes for things that are not seen with visible eyes but yet a heart that sees those things come to pass. Let’s keep believing for an outpour of more rain to extinguish the raging fire and horrendous winds 🙏

’ I hear the sound of the rushing rain ’

Can you?

Blessings

Stay on the Swing

stay on the swing

During church service praise and worship today , the Lord gave me a vision.

‘ A little girl on a swing of a big tree’s branch and a man ( Jesus ) pushing the swing gently. I could not see the face of either  , but I could tell the girl felt secure in His arms and was enjoying the swing ride. I saw Him lean towards her and say to her “Stay on the Swing ”

I had been contemplating a personal decision for months now and seeking His direction for what I thought will be a major transition. But those words this morning ” Stay on the Swing” came loud and clear to me. I realized that this was my ‘preparation’ ground and not the ‘ acceleration’ season God has for me. Whatever I needed to learn is right there on that swing and when God gives me that push, I will be accelerated to Higher grounds, ready for the battle.

I meditated on it tonight a bit more, as I had an urge in my spirit that the Word has more to it. He revealed that its a Word in season for His daughters looking for a ‘CHANGE’ , be it personal, relational, financial or spiritual. I was going to go to sleep and do this tomorrow, but I again felt the urge this Word is for you to read now

Ecclesiastes 3 : 1 

For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under Heaven

I asked the Lord for Words and this is what I had , exactly word by word

” My Darling Daughter ,

Stay on the swing

Now is the time for your ‘ preparation’ journey

To be prepared, you have to stay prepared

This preparation journey is your strengthening journey, for the journey ahead

I know you want to accelerate

I know you want to reach for the stars

But right now, it is important for you to stay on the swing

Secure your grips and keep your feet off the ground

To enjoy the swing ride, you gotta let off your control

I am preparing you with values of patience and perseverance

Dear Daughter, Trust Me

Pain is not the result of powerless prayers

But rather through it I help you empower and help you see how strong you are

Hear My Words

Sit on the swing and enjoy the ride

This is your preparation ground

Be patient with the process

When the time comes, my momentum will accelerate you

To those areas, you have been praying for

To show you the unsearchable and the unfathomable

Do not worry while you are on the swing

Just know and always remember

I GOT YOUR BACK ”

My prayer for you is may His Words speak to your situation

May you meditate on them for Him to reveal His heart to you

May He guide you to take the right decisions for you and your family

Love

Sindu

LONG LOST DREAMS

Dreams are beautiful. Dreams breathe fresh hope into your life.

When you dream, you know there is more and sky is the limit.

Dreams help visualise your hearts deepest desires. Dreams inspire you to step forth and make those thoughts a reality. Dreams fuel you towards your purpose even if that means you have to put up a fight to make it come alive.

Long lost dreams give birth to just another day dreamer. Day Dreamers either wanted  it all figured out even before taking the first step or gave up too soon after taking just a couple of steps

Martin Luther rightly says

“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
– Martin Luther King, Jr. 

I would like to share on one of my life dreams, that came true after 17 years. Yes that’s right, after 17 long years

Studying in Melbourne at one of the most reputed educational institution was my dream in 2002, when I completed my Bachelors in India. Well, things did not go as planned due to financial constraints and many other personal reasons. Like any other person that would fight for their dreams, I put up a brave face, picked up a call centre job to work during the nights to make some money and kept going towards making my dream a reality, one step at a time

I would love to share few secrets I learnt through this that might help in your ‘dream’ life

SECRET #1 KEEP LIVING WHILE STILL DREAMING

Putting your present life at a stop still just to work towards your future dream is not a wise idea. It always adds unwanted stress to the moment and on your loved ones. You will eventually have your dream come true but might end up loosing your family.

SECRET #2 EMBRACE CHANGES ALONG THE WAY – BE KIND TO YOURSELF

A lot changed since I started dreaming, one of which was my relocation to a different country that came with its own challenges. Looking at the change as an opportunity rather a hurdle, helped me stay in a positive mindset. I did not particularly work on my dream at this stage, I thought my life had taken a de-tour and that probably this dream was not meant to come true. It was hard, but I believed God has a BIGGER plan. I just did not know what it was at this stage

I love the way C.S. Lewis puts it

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”
– C.S. Lewis

So I set a new goal for myself to embrace the change and kept positive while still enjoying the present.

SECRET #3 DELAYED DREAMS ARE NOT FORGOTTEN PROMISES

During this whole dreaming process in my life, I had this question popping up in my mind every now and then ‘BUT I PRAYED ……. THEN WHY DID IT NOT WORK ‘ . I had to deal with my uncertain questioning mind ‘ WHY DID GOD FORGET ME.. IS MY DREAM NOT IMPORTANT FOR HIM ? ‘ with the truth from Bible that ‘ GOD LOVES ME WHETHER I FEEL IT OR NOT ‘ ,When someone loves me so much to lay down their life for me, then there is no doubt of that person even thinking of hurting me’

I fasted, I prayed , I committed every step along the way to the Lord but even a decade later I could not see my dream come true. I honestly thought it was one of those lost dreams of my life.

I love God’s Word which speaks life into dry bones and gives Hope for those that need it

I particularly drew strength from this verse, I kept believing even when my believing did not make sense to me at times, but hey we know that faith is the opposite of feelings.

Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in His eyes.
Fix your heart on the promises of God and you will be secure,
feasting on His faithfulness.

4 Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life,
and He will provide for you what you desire the most.

Psalm 37: 3-4 (TPT ) 

God had an interesting twist in my life and the way He worked on my dream and made it come a reality is mind blowing

2002 I had a dream of coming to Melbourne for study. I committed my dream to God and probably lost track of it for a while when life took over. But God did not forget His promises to me that He has a better plan for my life. 17 years later , here I am living in Melbourne and also have graduated from the same university I dreamt of just this August. The moment was surreal when I had my family and especially my daughter witness my graduation moment. My heart was filled with gratitude for what God has done for me throughout this journey .

Dreams DO come true, even after 17 years

Dream DO come true, even when you think you have lost track of them

Dreams ALWAYS come true, when you entrust them to GOD

My prayer for you today is that whatever dream you are dreaming of today or dreamt of it in the past, May the Lord grant all the desires of your heart. Commit them to God and see how God turns them around for you. Make Him your dream partner. You are never asked to do this alone.

5 Give God the right to direct your life,
and as you trust him along the way
you’ll find He pulled it off perfectly”

Psalm 37: 5 (TPT )

Come on Friend, it’s time to GET DREAMING

Reach for the starts as the ONE who made the stars is the same ONE who also holds you in the palm of His hands !

Stay Blessed in Him

Be Strong and Courageous

No matter the circumstance, just being strong and courageous doesn’t help the situation, but what makes the difference is WHO you will walk the journey with! THAT person has the ability to make or break your journey!

Joshua is blessed to have a loving heavenly Father who not only looks out for Him, but also continually encourages Him to be bold and courageous!

I just couldn’t grasp the fact THAT the depth of the Fathers love for Joshua in this passage and us is the same, then and NOW! God is good!

Ultimately it’s ones choice of heart to walk the journey with whoever they want, but good choices always lead to good consequences. The same can’t be told of the not so good choices!

Be wise in choosing who you do life with today!

Stay Blessed in Him 💞

BLOCKOUT- the world with THE WORD

My sister gifted these curtains to me as we moved into our new home,during her visit to Australia in 2016. Up until today, it was safely packed away in my linen closet.

The past few weeks have been really sunny in Melbourne and the scorching heat got the better of us, with no aircon in our home. So here I was trying to find ways to block the sun, in an effort to reduce the house being heated up due to the sun exposure. Suddenly I remembered these curtains. Neither did I have rods to put them on or had the patient to airtask this to someone. I wanted this so desperately done so I just nailed it to the wall. That did the job for me now. The sun is out of our living room and bed room, helping us to cool down a lot better than before

I went on about my normal Sunday, going to church. As I was driving the word ‘blockout’ stuck to my mind. I started pondering on this word till I got to put the below together for us.

In our day- to-day life we all are constantly blocking something or someone in our life. Right from applying sunscreen to blocking the sun which is more of a physical block or to block that annoying person in your life which is more of a mental block , there is some sort of blocking activity going on. According to our reasoning minds, we do all this for our own good and sanity.

What if I say, there is something that is readily available, which is absolutely FREE and is invaluable which when applied leads to an abundant life, a life full of contentment, joy and peace irrespective of your circumstances or situation on hand. That’s the most valuable block one can use in their lives but yet sadly, the least used block of all times

THE WORD OF GOD

Sometimes or rather most of the time, just like the way I had my sisters gifted curtain on my shelves for almost 3 whole years , which if used effectively would have helped me with the scorching heat, we tend to shelf the Word of God safely in one corner of our lives, defeating the purpose of the very reason God gifted it to us – a user manual to live a joyful life.

It’s time to apply the Word of God on our hearts and minds, to use it as a block to shield us from the futile thoughts of the world. It’s time to dust that Bible safety stored away on our shelves. It’s time to block the negativity of the world with the peace of God and that can only be achieved when we apply the Word of God practically in our day-to-day lives

Don’t get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you’re going. And don’t for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you’ll get where you’re going; then you’ll succeed. Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take

Joshua 1:8

Determine for yourself, this week to block those negative thoughts , those painful hurts and those baseless lies of this world that come to get you … with the truth, assurance and Hope that the Word of God offers

Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon

Ephesians 6:13-16

Overcome the World with the Word

Declare this promise over yourself this week

Remember Intentional living goes hand in hand with intentional filtering, from things that drain the life out of you to things that give you life filled with Hope

Your word is a lamp to my feet


and a light to my path

Psalm 119:105

Dear God,

Help me to use the Word of God as a filter to all that passes through my heart and mind this week. Help me to block that’s not helping my life and help me to apply Your ways from the Word in my life. I commit this week to You. Help me to have a productive week. I rely on Your strength and wisdom for me this week.

In Jesus Name

Amen

Stay Blessed in Him💞

Thank You For Your Support !

It warms my heart to see my friends stand up for a worthy cause !

When we want to change the world, it will make sense when we start to change the local community we live in, as change is most effective when done one step at a time. That kind of change has a ripple effect that will capture the hearts of people and compel them to think of the community they live in. We have raised $235 so far ! Thank you from the bottom of my hearts for the generous donations.

Myself and Hannah did more than few hours shopping this evening, going to numerous shops to find good deals to make use of the money effectively. We bought heaps of school stationeries , including pencils, erasers, sharpeners, rulers, glue, scissors, colour pencil packs, lunch bag packs and lots more . I will update pictures once we sort them all out !

Tonight when you go to bed, I want to you give a pat on your back and think of a child’s smile, which was only possible due to your generous donation. No donation is big or small, I appreciate your every penny as I see how compassionate your hearts are ! I am so proud to call you my friends ❤️

‘Back to School – Stationary Pack Help’ – 2019 Project1

Will you support our ‘Back To School Kids – Stationary Pack Help’ campaign to help disadvantaged families ? Even a small contribution will go a long way. The campaign is only for a week, until next Friday 18th Jan 2019, to ensure we have enough time to purchase and deliver the stationary pack. Your support will be greatly appreciated by myself and Hannah❤️ ! Let’s rally together friends !!

We are raising money for Back to School Kids – Stationary Pack Help. Click to Donate: https://www.gofundme.com/back-to-school-kids-stationary-pack-help?pc=tw_co_share_m&rcid=r01-154712159652-f174a4bffd31467e via @gofundme

My 5 year old daughter came up to me and reminded me of a decision we took when we packed our shoe boxes for kids last year, who would usually get no gifts for Christmas. We decided to help kids of her age and beyond in whatever way we can. Ever since there is only one question my daughter has almost everyday “ Momma, remember you said we will help children. When are we going to do that ?”

We decided this is the best time of the year , we can help parents of young kids going to school , with a stationary pack.

What comes as a privilege for some people, for some it becomes a necessity that they can’t afford. Did you know that many parents struggle during this time and the costs of a child’s educational essentials are out of reach for many disadvantaged families, that need help

The motive of this campaign is to help make a difference to such families in the local community. The aim is to purchase school stationary packs for kids and help relieve parents of one stress towards school preparation.

The cost of a pencil pack ranges from as low as $2 and for $10 you can actually put together a nice stationary pack for a child starting school. We need your help here , so together we can make a difference.

If you are willing and inspired enough to help those little kids, please proceed to donate an amount of your choice. If you know me personally, you can pass on the stationary to me, so we can organise the pack.

As always, grateful for your support ❤️

Discovering 2P’s of Intentional Living

blue sky ocean nature creative desktop wallpaper

Proverbs 24: 27

First plant your fields;

then build your barn.

In this post, let’s discover the 2P’s of Intentional Living

Preparation and Priority

To grow a beautiful garden, first we need to prepare the grounds. A well prepared ground makes or breaks a garden. One  has to also determine the season for the type of plants planted. Even right plants, when planted in the wrong season wither and die eventually. Doing things in the right order is one of the key factors of intentional living. Set your priorities right.

You need to do what you want to do as no-one knows you better than you. To live life intentionally, you need to plan your life wisely else you will end up wasting your time, energy, resources and ability in the wrong places/ relationships , which will eventually leave you drained out. This is not the life God intends you to live. Plan strategically and take good counsel along the way to keep you on track

Proverbs 24:5

Strategic planning is the key to warfare; to win, you need a lot of good counsel

Worrying that life is messed up at this stage? Let’s draw some  inspiration from C.S Lewis book “Mere Christianity ”

We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place you want to be and if you have taken a wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man. We have all seen this when we do arithmetic. When I have started a sum the wrong way, the sooner I admit this and go back and start over again, the faster I shall get on. There is nothing progressive about being pigheaded and refusing to admit a mistake. And I think if you look at the present state of the world, it is pretty plain that humanity has been making some big mistakes. We are on the wrong road. And if that is so, we must go back. Going back is the quickest way on.

Intentional living stages involves setting priorities right, re-evaluating goals and discerning the current season of life to make the most of it. When lived that way, no season is wasted as lessons learnt from past history propel us in the present towards unseen future

PRAYER

Dear Lord Jesus, Today as I re-evaluate my goals and motivation for my life, grant me the required wisdom, favor, knowledge to discern the season of my life and to set the course for my life journey. I pray for divine strength as I choose to live life intentionally Your way. Help me to set my priorities right so I can be the best version of me , for myself, my family and your Kingdom. I commit my year 2019 to you.

In Jesus Name

Amen

Stay Blessed in Him
