God is doing amazing things in my life. I’m desperately craving for spiritual maturity. On the day that I went back to Arunachal Pradesh after the retreat an elderly person in the church who is highly educated called me and shared a very disturbing dream that he had the night before. He told me that I am an artist and that I had the gift of discerning his dream. I was really surprised and excited to hear these words because the only thing he knew about me is that I’m an artist and a missionary from Bangalore. But to hear the words “discerning his dreams” makes me so happy. I am so very thankful because through this man’s dream the Lord is teaching me so much. In his dream he was climbing a very steep hill and he realized that he had no legs. His mother-in-law as well as his wife passed by him. He asked for help but they moved on saying that they will meet him up at the top. He was really upset but kept moving upward with much difficulty. At the top there was a man standing. He pulled out a brick from the wall and on the brick was written what he truly was””TEACHER””.
The man turned the brick upside down and placed it back into the wall. He then asked him if he had brought any seeds with him. The Lord reminded me Hosea 10; 12 which was so very fresh in me from my retreat. “Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unploughed ground for it is time to seek the lord, until He comes and showers righteousness on you”. Through this dream the Lord is teaching me to remove my tag as a teacher and become the opposite of it which is a learner. I was so amazed that everything that I was taught in the retreat was the exact answer to this man’s dream. Wow, I’m so amazed! From the first day till now Jesus is constantly surprising me, teaching me, and using me. What an honor and a privilege to be in a place where God consistently uses us to serve Him in spite of us being unworthy!

I feel like I’m in a season where God’s word and time spent with Him are so very sensitive to me especially when it comes to corporate worship. I feel the presence of God so strong that it is totally difficult to end without crying. Every time I worship I melt before God and all I can do is weep and weep. The funny thing is that the worship is mostly in Hindi and I don’t understand much but that is the time I weep the most. I love being where I am and I cannot ask God for anything better.

To be honest this place is filled with lots of challenges and I rejoice because it’s making me much stronger in Jesus. I have a friend named Nawang. He is a Tibetan and his entire family is Buddhist. He is the only one in his entire village who is a believer. He is a new born Christian and God gave me the opportunity to minister to him. On the day that he arrived he was hospitalized. He suffers from T.B, stomach and kidney problems. For about two weeks I spent the nights in the hospital looking after him. He has a lot of other issues that needs to be taken care of from the past. Please cover him with your prayers. His family rejects him because he is a believer. Now he is about to go for further treatment.
