Its Jesus and Me!!

I travelled alone..
upon this lonesome way..
my burdens were heavy..
and dark was my day...

I looked for a friend..
not knowing that He..
had all of the time..
been looking for me..

Now it is Jesus and me..
For each tomorrow..
For every heartache..
and every sorrow..
i know that i can depend..
upon my new found Friend..

and So till the end..
Its Jesus and Me..

Forever ill sing..
of His great love for me..
forever ill tell it..
on land and on sea..

I'll stay by His side..
Contented ill be..
For all of My Life...

 Its Jesus and Me!! :)

Surreal :)

I think you can imagine driving through rain..but have you ever experienced the sheer wonder and joy you feel when you're straight driving into a sort of solid sheet of rain coming towards you from afar?

Thats just what happened in yesterdays driving class. We ( me driving and instructor sitting beside me) had finished our detour to GMC and back on the highway and were driving towards Dona Paula- Caranzalem when the sky became dark with rain clouds..it was obvious that it had already begun raining really heavily in Panjim and Miramar..and the showers were advancing towards us faster than we were driving towards it..

The next few minutes were amazing, i could see the grey blur of approaching rain advancing in the front and the clarity of my surroundings in contrast to that..(something like a fantasy movie :P ) ..and suddenly before i knew it i drove staright throught the blurry sheet and the noise on the roof of the car was tremendous..we were surrounded by heavy rain.on all sides..it was truly out of this world..

a perfect example of the wonders of creation..special things that my Lord shows me everyday..yup..will definitely treasure this experience :)

--for unto Him alone shall be the glory...

From the rising of the Sun to the setting of the same, the Lord's name is to be praised.. --Ps:113 :3

If i can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, i shall feel that i have worked with God..

Peace... is seeing a sunset and knowing whom to thank..

easy as pie? you think??

Yes, i admit it..driving is easy..only one tiny problem..i tend to not want to take risks..i know..mad...


I have no idea why i seem to want to wait till i get my license or have enugh practice..or whatever till i actually drive..and thats what happened today morning after mass..The car was parked in front of a gate and dad had gone somewhere (the market).This fellow from the place beyond the gate told me to remove the car a bit away..all i had to do was get there and do the old key/clutch/gear/accelerator routine right?..but No..silly me just grins at the man(foolishly i might add..)and muttered something in konkani along the lines of "yea my dad isnt there..no cant drive..he'll come soon..dont worry..blah blah.."

ok..new decision..i'm going to put all this behind me and uh..will drive at the next opportunity that comes my way...yes?..yes!

anyway..that out of the way..today's driving class was pretty good..i didnt knock down anyone..or brake frightfully..or get a yelling..so..good enough huh?..

i have no idea why driving there..(for class) is SO much easier than just lke that..(with dad.. :P )hehe..and no its not the fact that the instructor has all the levers in control..some other pecularity attributable to me..always..*sigh*

today's trail was awesome..all the way down to odxel--the place i love..near the crashing sea..the road is crazily slope-y and steep..with trees and birds..the chapels..and the little cave thingy with the staues of Mother Mary and St. Bernadette.. the view of the mandovi..and vasco beyond(with its boats/ships..and cranes and airplanes)..really--Wow!

i'm so going to drive down there again..when i'm ready ..uh..when the next opportunity comes :)

--coming?

~_~ ! * because 'e' is an alphabet..

..."You cant stay mad at somebody who makes you laugh." --jay leno

...its true..reuben..very very true!

because He is..

this post is special..a thanksgiving to the one who Always is, was, will be there for me..whether i like it or i dont..

--because my God never does things by halves..
and seriously, He always lets me have more than i can ever imagine and much much more than i deserve..and when there's hardship or confusion He always gives me the strength to conquer..and set things right...

and i'm sure and i believe He's always watching out for me..i'm one of His children and thats what makes me special...

i'v amazingly enthusiastically dedicated parents, a madly beautiful and brutally honest sister, a head in the clouds spiritual brother..crazy, fun, honestly loving friends..and all this is just the surface stuff..

There are so many times, a tremendous too -big-to-imagine list i could make of all the everyday niceties my Lord does for me..like the way He answers my whispered prayers of "oh please Lord let the bus come soon & please make my teacher late.." if i'm the one who's actually late..and more often than not..it happens..i kid you not..it actually happens

And i know He'll always be with me..as long as i stay true..and even when i dont..( i hope someone will remind me..if i do go wild..in the not good sense)

He'll always answer my prayers..be there to listen to my nightly chatter..to the stories of crazy days..and cheerful funny stuff...to give me strength to bear the crosses of everyday changes..--always!!

Love you Lord..Thank you so very much for Everything!!
i know that in all circumstances i can sing..

"My God is an Awesome God!!!!!! " .......

Sleep: the one place you can escape from the ruckus and restlessness of the present weary world..and get back refreshed and replenished with enough provisions to face it back again..


only other way is when you Pray..
