I am not gonna talk about my marriage anniversary! Because I’m not married yet 😉 I’m just gonna share with you about the past one year that I spent in Bangalore. I just can’t believe that time has passed by so fast! When I first came to Bangalore I knew no one here, I was scared to move here because everything was new to me – staying in a PG, in a different state, doing internship for the first time in my life! New people, that too all were of different languages! It was tough because new things always scares me!
After settling into a PG, we started searching for a church nearby and couldn’t find any! I was upset and started asking around and searching around in the internet. Found one and called them up to find that I need to take 2 buses to reach there, the fact that I need to take 2 buses did not scare me but that I need to go alone in a strange new place did! I only knew my way from PG to office! And guess what, God provided a Church for me that was located on my way to office, I just needed to take a right turn and it was at a walk-able distance! I loved walking – the path was so quiet and peaceful.
The first day when I walked to Church, I thought I had lost my way because it seemed so lonely and so I just turned back to walk to the main road to enquire someone but I saw a lady walk towards me so I enquired her, she told me that she was going to the same place. She told me that she used to come by car with her family but on that particular day, her car had a breakdown and she was forced to walk. At that time I just thanked God for using her to guide me but now when I think back I just realized that God had caused that car to breakdown just for the sake of guiding me! J What a loving God I’ve got!
I’ve heard people say that it is good to look back with experience but now I choose to look back with thankfulness for all that God has done for me in this one year! He gave me grace in the eyes of my team and helped me in my work each day, by His grace I got placed. I had finished my PG – even now it feels strange when people ask my qualification and I would start to say BE then I’d remember that I had finished PG! I never even imagined or dreamed that I would be finishing my PG – well the Word of God clearly states that “God is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20)
Now God has wonderfully led me to stay in a house. I’m surrounded by people who care for me. I’ve been blessed! He has been faithful in fulfilling His promise for me, “I am the LORD who directs you in the way you should go” (Isaiah 48:17) in every month, in every decision, God has been guiding me! There were dry times but they didn’t last long! My prayers were answered and some were not but I am thankful for both because if He had answered every prayer of mine then I wouldn’t be what I am now!
His ways are the best even if it is tough, because His grace is always more than enough!
