I had already decided not to go for Ol & Raphael’s Pani (Have to rest my body, the dew of open air functions is not too good for anyone and if you add cold water to that, you’ll have a bad equation).

As a result I spent the day at home (which is the reason my parents alllowed the late night last night). I spend some time with Janice - as I didn’t attend the official party last night, thought I’d drop in her gift & see baby Samuel again.

And then I went to Chapel to spend some quite quality time with my Saviour & Love Jesus. I had such an amazing time. Praise God.

At around 4pm I got a call from Fr. Martin who had reached Bbay earlier in the day (he had called dad at 6am!). He asked me to “Come Preach” to a group in Malad. I don’t know what made me ask - I usually don’t - but I asked him how many people were going to be there; to which he answered 1500.. !! He also told me I was to go asap & that the Spirit would tell me what to preach on. Help.

Managed to reach Malad despite (a) Fast train rush hour crowd; which I offered as a sacrifice. Seriously, not something I want to do again, forget about everyday, I am so blessed. (b) Rickshaw driver who I think cheated me by taking me for a tour of Malad. U. Tony says the fare should have come to Rs. 12/-, I spent Rs. 20/-

Preached on Having a Personal Relationship with Jesus, something that has been strong on my heart recently and which I felt the Lord leading me to speak on.

After that Fr. Martin gave an amazing talk on forgiveness and love. Then he celebrated Holy Mass - which was also GREAT, he prayed for sooo many different groups of ppl.

Met up with Bonnie who had come to translate. Great being with so many Tabor team members again

Got home late, almost alone in the ladies compartment (U. Tony went general), trifle scared but asked the Lord to protect me. Reached home by 11.30pm.

One common thing that I felt the Lord telling me the WHOLE day:
(01) Janice tells me: “Mello the Lord knows your hearts desires & He will give them to you”
(02) When in Chapel, I hear the Lord telling me; “Read Psalm 37:4″ and this is the verse: ‘Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.’
(03) Then at the meeting the Praise & Worship leader says, “The Lord is giving you your hearts desires…”

Thank you Lord. You are so amazing.
