Embracing the Process in Lenten Days✨

Lent is a time to slow down, reflect, and grow. Change does not happen overnight. Just like a seed takes time to become a tree, we also need time to become better.

Lent is not just about giving up things like sweets, non veg, flowers or social media. It is about making space for kindness, patience, and faith. We can let go of anger and choose peace, or let go of doubt and choose trust. Silence is also important. In our busy lives, we rarely stop to think. Taking a few quiet moments each day can bring peace. Even Jesus spent time alone in the desert to prepare for His journey.

Some days, we may forget to pray or struggle to keep our Lenten promises. That is okay. Lent is not about being perfect. It is about trying, learning, and trusting that we are growing. As we walk through this season, let us be patient with ourselves. Every small effort counts. Even when we do not see change, God is working in us. Lent is a journey—one step, one prayer, one day at a time.

One of the most important lessons of Lent is letting go. This does not always mean giving up food or activities. Sometimes, it means letting go of negative thoughts, bad habits, or the need to be in control.

Let go of doubt, and make room for faith,
Let go of anger, and make room for peace,
Let go of fear, and make room for trust,
Let go of complaining, and make room for gratitude.

It is not easy to let go of things that have been part of us for a long time. But Lent reminds us that we are not alone in this journey.Lent is not about making ourselves suffer. It is about opening our hearts, taking small steps, and trusting that we are being shaped into something beautiful.

ANTS ON DUTY 🐜

              I was sitting comfortably, enjoying my snacks after making myself a refreshing glass of juice. As I reached the bottom of the cup, I noticed that some sugar had settled there, I accidentally spilled it on the floor. Before I could react, a small army of ants appeared there, quickly surrounding the sugary treasure. Curiously, I got closer, watching them with fascination as they worked together to carry away the sweet crystals. Amused by their tiny, coordinated efforts, I began to entertain myself by imagining the ants having a conversation. Ant 1 : Guys, Come fast. You won’t believe what I just found! It’s the white gold for us. Ant 2 : Are you sure it’s not just another grain of sand ? Remember that last time you got excited about a piece of salt?" Ant 3 : Salt? No way! This is the real sugar! I’m telling you, it’s like a mountain of sweetness Ant 1: Yaay, it is just lying there and waiting for us!  Ant 4 :No I'm not coming, Last ...

BELOVED DAUGHTER OF A KING 👑💖

            There lived a girl who grew up immersed in the warm embrace of her Christian family. From her earliest days, she was wrapped up in the world of church activities, gatherings, and spiritual teaching. Her Sundays were painted with the vibrant shades of Sunday School. Each week, she eagerly anticipated the songs and stories that brought the teachings of the Bible. These moments laid a strong foundation of faith and a deep love for God.                 As grown-up girl, the clarity of those early teachings was put to the test. Once her journey was smooth and clear now, obstacles rise, challenges and her courage are tried. The challenges continued into her college years, where she struggled with self-doubt. The pressures in academically and socially were overwhelming, and she found herself questioning her worth and the purpose of her efforts. The weight of her struggles f...

CHERISHING MY NATIVE 💪🤎

Image
                 I’ve spent all 22 years of my life in Tambaram, where life moves quickly and people often pass by without greeting each other . The city is full of noise, dust, and a certain loneliness. From childhood there’s a place that holds my heart is my small village, a bit far from kandigai (Ammanambakkam ) where life feels completely .There I have spent all my holidays very happily  This village is special, a long straight road lined with houses on both sides where everyone knows everyone. There’s only one church, and it’s the center of the village . All the people here are Christian, and they’re all related in one way or another. It’s a place where family and bonding are given more importance.  One of the things I love most about this village is how disconnected it is from our speedy world. The signal is so weak that phones are almost useless, which means people actually talk to each other. Every evening, the o...
