Greetings to everyone in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!!!!!!!
Our God lives and is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Its been long since I wanted to write this great thing which Jesus did in my life. He is a God who hears.He is a God who is concerned about us.
My father planned for a family trip and I couldnt say "no". In my childhood days being allergic to travel I have been stubborn with my no's. Grown up , I couldnt say no since I have felt worried that I have not made my father happy during my childhood and so now in these days I didnt want to say no. But inside my only prayer was for the trip to be cancelled.
My husband is also allergic to travel and so are my kids. Even for a shorter distance travel for about 3 kms my first kid would vomit. So as a family going for long distance travel in bus or car was a nightmare.
My husband had more work in office in those days, so he was hesitant to take leave and join in this trip. Taking both the kids alone again is a difficult thing. So I have to somehow make my husband accept to take leave for 2-3 days. Finally with some flexi holdiays and weekend he accepted to join the trip and so the dates were moved to one week later from the originally planned. The tickets were yet to be booked but the planning was still going on with the Travels.
I was burdened in my heart considering the travel sickness that we had as a whole family. I remembered as a kid how the flight travels also was a nightmare wherein I end up vomiting for every take off and landing. I was worried whether my kids also would be in such a trouble. And on top of that, even if one person gets to be sick in the trip the whole family will get affected and this vomiting is always a disgusting thing for everyone around. I couldnt share this to anyone and say a bold "no".
My only prayer was for the trip to be cancelled somehow. I could'nt even yield to God's will. The tickets were finally booked and cancellation didnt seem to happen. One Thursday night I was just pouring my burden to God.I was in a situation where I couldnt share this to anybody and no human can understand my problem. But that night God completely change my burden and He spoke to me with a verse that He will be with me. ( Too bad of me. I have forgotten that verse... :( ) I had really understood that night how Hannah after pouring her burden to God had a complete change where she was worried no more. I felt the same thing. Spirit of fear fled and spirit of boldness to hadle any situation took charge in me. Spriti of worry fled and Spriti of freeness took over me . I felt being freed from the bondage. God still lives. God is good.
The most wonderful thing is throughout our 5 day trip to Bangkok and Pattaya, my kids were in total peace and were very healthy. We traveleed for hours in car and flight but throughout the journey my kids enjoyed each moment with no sensation of travel sickness or vomiting.My Dad and Mom also were healthy throughout the journey. Glory be to God. Thank you Jesus for hearing my heart's cry.
