His Life in Rivers

Took quite a bit of photos the last while and will share a photo diary of  life in Rivers of Joy!

Dad, Lisa, Sandeep

Lisa got baptised!! How amazing is God! He wants to be known by us and when we seek Him, we will find Him as He reveals Himself! 

Me, Estelle, Gary, my dad, Elena, Ramsay and Mom

Rams and El visited us and Rivers of Joy for a day, from Dubai. Perfect timing too, as Rams was gonna come alone a week earlier but his visa wasn't going to be ready so we postponed his visit 1 week, which meant that El, his wife, could come as well! Rams led worship at ROJ, blessed the church! Rams also fixed the guitar and put on brand new strings! Thank you! If you in Dubai and you ever need a guitar or anyone to tweak or fix your guitar, Rams is the person to phone!!

I loved having both Stellie and El here at the same time because they both work for airlines. Stellie now works for Air New Zealand, but use to be cabin crew for Emirates and El also use to be cabin crew for Emirates but now works in recruiting.  They met each other while visiting us, but found out they have mutual friends through Emirates!

The day before they got engaged!! Now, Tazzy is showing off her bling to everyone in SA! It's stunning!


At the home group Christmas party, Stellie fixes Spikkels' Christmas bow. We make him wear his bow specially for guests.


BUT, Spikkels is not very fond of the bow...


This Father Christmas hat was Spikkels' favourite potential new toy at the Christmas party.. He followed whoever was wearing it, everywhere! Atleast he is not bothered by his bow here.. and how cute does he look!

The first photo is my dad pretending to sleep in my Lazy Susan. The second photo is literally my first sip of juice after a month. One thing that I hated the most during my time in ICU was having the ventilator down my throat to help me breathe. This was for several reasons. Firstly, with the ventilator in I could not talk so anything I communicate took a lot of strength which I did not have. Secondly, I could not drink or eat anything and felt thirsty constantly; yet when I dreamt of eating anything(which was often), I would wake up feeling very nauseous . This and nightmares made me scared of sleeping even though it was what I did most of the time. Thirdly, the nurses had to suction me a few times a day to remove all the flem from the tube and my lungs. This was especially horrible after they discovered the sepsis, because my abdomen had to be kept upon as they had to clean my abdomen every other day and could obviously not cut me open every other day and close me up again.

So It seems thanksgiving is this Thursday which means its time to get the Christmas tree up. Now I don't actually celebrate thanksgiving but I use to LoVe it when our American friends would invite us over to celebrate their tradition. Sometimes we would have 2 thanksgivings, one in October and another in November celebrating with Canadians and Americans respectively.  Even our Bahraini neighbours are celebrating thanksgiving! But tomorrow is just another holiday for me since exams are over! So back to the Christmas tree. It feels like AGES ago that we have set up a Christmas tree in our house. I can't actually remember the last time, as I know we skipped a year or two. My family have never been big on all the decorations and presents that come with Christmas(only good times with family and friends) although I use to try and bring the Christmas cheer and encourage participation. I eventually gave up, until this year when my mom and I went shopping and thought we must invest in

Jesus' character in us

The following I wrote 3 months ago but just remembered it again when I saw someone say to a friend "don't...because its sin". How hectic to put such law on people. The more I read the Bible, especially the New Testament, the more I wonder where all the denominations came up with all the rules that MUST be followed in order to be Holy?!? I read that “For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me”(Gal 2:19) So where do we come up with, “You must not do this, you must pray everyday, you must, you mustn't”??? “You have died with Christ, and HE has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of this world, such as 'Don't handle! Don't taste! Don't touch!'? Such Rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them. These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person
