THE FLUTTERINGS OF LIFE

-

I wrote this poem about a very special time in my life on 7th October, 2015. A gift was due to us on 13th November, but we received it in God's time on the 17th of November, 2015- a perfect little parcel from above- our miracle girl. 


Dedicated to all Moms!



THE FLUTTERINGS OF LIFE


Everyday I wake up to feel

Something moving, something kicking

I know not yet what it is

I know not yet what it will be.


This feeling is not continuous

But it comes back again

This feeling is not painful

But so overwhelming and divine.


Life, in its initial stage comes silently

Reveals itself in amazing ways.

Life, a new life, comes unknowingly

Emerges to this world when its time has come.


It is a great responsibility to be part of this phenomenon

A long tiring process that ultimately fulfils God's great plan.


My days are now spent in preparation

To welcome this moving body

My nights supply more energy

To be healthy for the new role.


I will see very soon,

I will hold very soon

When it is ready and complete.


An answer to prayers,

A dream come true.

Now it is just flutterings to me

But will soon become my first REAL gift

Full of life, new life.






*And we named her DAPHNE- for she is the 'Victory' the Almighty gave us when all doctors proclaimed it impossible by this world's diagnostics. God is able to make the impossible POSSIBLE!! So keep believing!




This is certainly the most powerful a woman could feel- to be part in the creation process along with the Creator. If you are a mother, be thankful for the blessings you have or even had; if you are still wishing to be a mom, may the Lord see your tears and answer your prayers; if you are yet to think of it, let the Almighty show you the way; if you hate to think of it, think of a better way to spend your life- but I guarantee, you won't!

It's a pity we live in a world which is gradually turning against the holy institution of marriage and family. We have to change that- soon enough- for mankind to keep going; for life to go on; for us to look to the future with HOPE.

    Beautifully said kochamma! So often we take so many of those feelings for granted yet when it is mentioned so specifically the truth of it dawns on you!

O TSA, the Beautiful...

The Schram Academy has become one with my very breath and being for the past 3 years. Ever since I joined in June 2021, I have been in awe of the school. More than a school, it is a haven to mould and mentor future global citizens with confidence and pride. Every year has been equal to a textbook each for me- about administration, team work, teaching strategies, and what not.  TSA gave me this huge opportunity in the midst of the uncertain times during May 2021- with the pandemic still raging out there. I had sent out emails to around 20 schools in a 10 kilometer radius from our parsonage in the Bethel Mar Thoma Church campus, where we got transferred to that month. One and only one school responded to my application and I attended two interviews online here before getting this job. While joining itself I told very clearly that I would most probably be in Chennai for three years only- now those three years passed by in a jiffy- and it is time for me to leave this school that has become

The Bethel on Earth

"How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven."  Genesis 28:17 In the Bible, Jacob built an altar in honour of the Almighty and it was called Bethel- a 'house of God'. Bethel Mar Thoma Church, Padi is one such house of God in Chennai in which believers gather, and incense, praise and prayers rise. It is a House of God in which all the members enjoy such a warm fellowship that gives us that Early Church vibes as we read in the Scriptures. It is a House of God that knows how to give and share the love of their Saviour.  The three of us were still in a trance as we landed in Chennai- on 30th April, 2021- particularly me, not willing to accept the way we came all of a sudden to a new place- and especially dejected after getting transferred once again during the pandemic. But I know now that through this transfer, God wanted us to understand His goodness and mercy once again- and be a living witness to how His plans are be

A NEW STAR IN THE NIGHTSKY

Death for a Christian is to fall asleep in the arms of Jesus and waking up and finding out that you're home.                                                                                                                                      -Alistair Begg It is not easy. Death. Waking up to the news of the passing away of a loved one. Especially when its the 4th death in a row within the span of 10 months. When someone is sick and we know they are suffering, it is easier to process the reality- but not when its a sudden demise like an accident or simply not waking up from your sleep- or how about you just leave home one fine morning to go to church or work and never come back. And to know the death from the other side of the world- again, totally devastating.  Linu Mathew Koshy- our dear Linu achachan. An epitome of a scholar and the most giving person I know of his age group. There are evangelists and priests who have come to me knowing that we are cousins. He was always such a s
