A character of God often unseen

I'm thankful for a good month where I could be refreshed physiaclly and spiritually. I spent some time ministering to family and friends mainly through paintings. I was in a season of waiting and asking God to open doors for for what's next. I'm excited to go and meet some people in different locations in the next 3 to 4 months. I'm hoping God will lead me closer to my future vison that I have in the field of fine arts.

The biggest joy for me this month was visiting my sisiter in the village where I was born.... This is the second or third time I went to visit in 16 years. My sister is pregnant and is just 10 days away from delivery. I was overwhelmed with tears of joy to see her because of the way she lives. I'm so glad that she follows Jesus whole hearted. It means so much to me.  At the death of my father 5 years ago I kind of questioned God why my dad passed away without knowing you. I was schooling at that time and one of my dream was to lead my dad to Jesus.... Just for him to be saved and that's all I pretty much cared about. Later I learned that he died, that too not a normal death,  some say he was murdered and some say that he ended his own life but only God knows the truth. Now that I'm into missions and ministering completely away from my birth place I still desire to see my my 2 brothers and my sister who all are elder to me come to Jesus. What sounds so amazing to me is that my sister came to the Lord. This Saturday she had attended women's fellowship at church and I'm hearing that she is an active member in the church. To my surprise this has been going on for a long time now.  I was super excited to see her live for Jesus. All this time when I was in the mission field Jesus himself saved my sister. She got intrested in Jesus and started following Him. Jesus has been working in the background when I had no clue about it. To make things better I was in a season where I saw no fruits in my life and in the things I did. I would say I was in a season of waiting or being still before the Lord. Now that I look back to meditate on what He is doing in and around me I'm seing one of his characters which I often don't see. In the middle of being in a season of unfruitfulness or waiting God turned me around to see what He is doing in my sister's live back in the village. How beautiful it is when God turns us around in a season of unfruitfulness to see what He is doing around you when all you did was just focus on yourself.

Prayer points:
Pray for my sister who is gonna have a baby this month. Pray that she will continue to chase after Jesus with all her heart.

Pray for my 2 brothers and their kids. Pray that they too will be saved. Especially my eldest brother who is going through so much of family problems.

Lastly pray for me that as I connect with some artists in different places in India for the next three months, God will show me the right door that leads me towards my long term goal.

My Brother in law and my sister
