The power of Praise...

"  About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. ²⁶ Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose."

-Acts 16:25

 

 

No matter how difficult things might seem, Praise the Lord at all times!! There is no situation too difficult for the Lord to turn around!!! 

You might not feel like praising Him...thinking 'How do I give Him praise when I am going through such tough times'. But even a feeble 'Thank You God' can bring a smile on His face and He will use the situation you are in to bless you!!! 

His ways are amazing, beyond our imagination. We just need to have faith in Him.He knows what we go through but cannot explain everything when we want to know them. But rest assured He'll never put you through something you cannot handle!

Try it out...Praise Him ;) :)

Oh my words could not tell ..not even in part...Of the debt of love that is owed by this thankful heart!

I stood there and held on to Him tightly. I was nothing but dust in the wind.But He blessed me. He never let go...
It has been tough all this while but He never left my side. Never failed me...He has never failed me.


All Praise be to Him who is worthy.

PS: Got promoted :D

Thought of you

I am completely in love with today's Google Doodle. It is animated by Ryan Woodward and it is so so so good!!

The above video is an animation again by Ryan and its just beautiful! The song is 'And the world spins madly on' by Weepies.

I need Happy Landings!

With me, it is ironic how planes fascinate me and scare me too! Ever since I was a little kid, I loved watching airplanes. Every time a plane passed fast across the skies I'd run towards the window to have a look at it. I also remember me and my then best friend waving goodbye to planes.

I'd love to look at the smoke trail left by jet planes in the sky! At first I used to think it was a rocket! (what?! Dont they show how rockets leave behind a jet of smoke during take-off??!).I think my fascination for 'air borne vehicles' and space related things inspired me to become a pilot, an astronaut and an astronomer!!

Don't you think its cool when those fighter jets take off from aircraft carrier decks with a whooping speed!! And when you see those movies where pilots in their uniforms are walking out of their aircraft with their helmets in hand and with their aviators on?! I love that kind of stuff!
I just loved the whole idea of being an astronaut flying in space and enjoying the view of the earth from the vantage point !!

But as much as I have seen these space exploration shows and their likes on the Discovery channel, I have also seen air crash investigations!! And they've left me terrified. Although I am now a little used to it, I am still afraid of flying ! I mean if you are traveling in a bus and it breaks down in the middle of the road, you can get down and take another one. Ever imagined the same scenario with a plane?! Yikes!!

The worst part is, I get recurring dreams of plane crashes! I have woken up many times with a shudder after seeing planes crash around me in my dreams.They say when you keep getting the same dream repetitively, it means  something, Well, I say in my case, I don't want to know what it means!!!


But I've had enough of those nightmares now! They are the ones responsible for my fear of flying!! Yesterday when a friend of mine wished me 'happy landing! ' before signing off, I realised how I actually..literally needed one!
After all the nightmares I've had so far I only hope to have happy landings in my dreams and otherwise too! :P


PS. Believe it or not...The last time I was flying home, I saw another tiny(it was at such a great distance from my plane) plane passing in the opposite direction.It was gleaming in the sun light and immediately caught my eye!! :)

Take Me Away Somewhere Far Away

I have noticed that  a post I wrote long time back 'Take me away somewhere far away' has got a lot of hits and people have been visiting my blog through google while searching for this Ad song.
I have no idea how this song has become so popular suddenly ! But anyway since someone requested me for this song. Here is the link where I downloaded it from.

Enjoy!

(PS. this continues to be one of my most favorite vodafone ads- the elevator commercial ♥ ♥ ♥... :))

It's about that moment in time that's forever gone "...

It's the same place that I came back to 3 months back. It was the same place I am constantly fighting to go to every single day.This is the place where I have lived since I was born. Yet, as I sat near the window watching those roads lit by orange street lights there was an emptiness I couldn't define....

"Raste na badle na badla jahan,
Phir kyon badalte kadam hain yahan"

(The roads are the same, the world is the same...so why have the footsteps changed?)

         

Life can move so fast sometimes that you wouldnt realise what you are leaving behind.And when you stop and turn around its all gone in a moment's time.

Shut up. Just shut up!

I cannot stand eternal pessimists - people who are just negative about everything. They think that just because they could do nothing, others dont stand a chance to do the same either. I have no offence against people who do not have political views but I do object such people commenting on political causes, criticizing the people who take initiatives for the betterment of people and sit on their couches and pass statements like 'Is desh ke corruption ka kuch nai hoga'. (Nothing can do away the corruption in this nation)

No matter how much you try to prove your point and instill a hope in their minds they always win. Because you always fall short of words when they start to speak about the negatives points regarding an issue and there is no point raising your voice to convince them. It never works.

The worst part is when you have such people talking against the government, its policies and the people running the government in your own house!

All you can do is just shut up and hope that corruption and all the other stains against the government would one day be wiped clean(well at least to a great extent) and that would shut the mouths of those who do nothing but pass the buck and shrug off their own responsibilities.

I am not trying to defend the government babus here but I do believe if all have a little faith we can definitely make a change. And if we cannot get up and fight for the change at least we should not pull down others who are fighting for it!
