Travel Alergy

Luke 12:27

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin: and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28: If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith.

Mathew 6:26

Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them, are you not of more value than they?

One Saturday on returning from office I was just wishing to take a long route bus, and travel in the window seat as far as it goes, gazing at the city. Just a moment. Oh is it the same Christina? I pinched myself. Yes it is the same Christina who 10 years back have been thinking not to travel in life forever. I used to think when travelling "cursed are the people or woe to the people who are now travelling by bus, train or plane". As only a sinner can understand the Mighty grace of God, I have always been experiencing His sweetness in my journey of travels. As I have been allergic to bus or any modes, it not only gave displeasure to me, but also to my loving parents. But only they and not anybody else could travel with me. As I grew up, I continuously used to pray in my travels, "Lord help me, Let me not vomit oh Mighty God". Thanks be to God who has heard my cry many a times. I can never forget my travels in plane. As the plane takes off, I ask for a vomit bag and as the plane lands one more vomit bag. Looking at the delicious meals kept before me, I can never keep myself without eating them. In buses that are rush, where many are standing, I can hear voices "there is a seat here. Come over here. " Glory to God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People in Chennai know what it means to travel in 21G in peak hours. I used to take this bus in Chrompet to go to Anna university and have vomitted most times. Glory to God who has led me in those dark days. I have thought, will not the days come when I stand to give seat for the old ladies. I used to never eat anything in travel, be in train or bus. I don't used to speak also because of the vomit feeling that I used to have. Some of my friends get irritated at my silence.

But today in my 25th year, God has changed all those dark days of travel into pleasure. Yes, I am travelling today in bus for 12 hrs, with no more avomins and no more nearer to window seats and by having regular meals. Glory to God in the highest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been travelling in flight all alone, with no feelings of vomit but with feeling of praises in my mouth. Glory to God.

Above all, I am loving to travel. Glory be to God who has changed it. Today as I am grown up, with my parents not always nearer to me, I just can't think of travelling like the old days.

Glory be to God who alone cares for us,more than anybody else. Thanks Lord for traveling with me all these days. Make me travel more and more for you and let my journeys be with You , my Loving Master.
