Just As I Am Without One Plea (with lyrics)

Just As I Am-Brian Doerksen

"Be Thou My Vision" by Eden's Bridge

Don Moen - He Never Sleeps

This song reminds me of my weakness and how far I have gone from my Lord. When my daughter hit her head and suffers a concussion till today, (It happened on the 23 Feb. 2011 and it has since been 1 1/2 months. She is slowly recovering) I remember praying to God for quick healing. I remember asking Him why was He not healing her. Didn't He see her suffering. Yes, she had fainting spells and sharp headaches. And we went to the emergency ward at least 3 times in fear that there was internal bleeding or a cancerous tumour. I sat biting my nails when they sent her in for a CAT scan. I was so afraid that there was a cancerous tumour but my fear was put to rest yet she continuedto suffer and my anguish grew, wondering if God exists.

White hair sprung up over night and my pain and anger grew. I had no will to teach and my days were a drag. Every day I went to school in fear that I would receive another call from the school asking me to come to take her to the doctor. It was nightmare and I felt God was so so far away. But............ I clung on to Him because there was no one to turn to and finally I learn. I learnthat He answers in His own good time and He has a reason. He wants me to learn patience, trust and to have faith. Today, after 1 1/2 months, my daughter is slowly healing. There are days when she is free from headache and fainting spells and I know that God is working. And surely God is teaching me too, that He has not forsaken me.

It is so human to be impatient, to be sceptical, to be weak. And I also know that when there is no trouble, God is not even a tangible feeling. He is just a word. And it is also so odd that when trouble hits and He takes His time, He also seems to be so far, far away. But to know that my daughter is free from pain, I feel the deep, deep joy and love of God. Yes, He is real and He exist.

This is just music that is really calming.

Dear friends and readers, tonight, today I want to share with you some of the inspirational songs that will help you to get through your rough day. I draw strength from listening to them.

Paper Dolls in Sarees

Hi to all my friends and readers. It has been months since I sat at the computer to update my blog. I was really, really busy. I was so busy that I thought I would just close my blog and that's it but ...eh....well. And then I realize that my blog is unlike others where they have a theme. I have a mixture of this and that. Well, this shows my diversification, right? And to those who are reading won't find it so boring. Hee! Hee! Hee! Well, I was also very caught up with a new hobby. Making cards with dollies dressed in sarees. At first I thought there were not many ways of tying a saree. How wrong I was! I did a little research on the internet and I was astounded by the many,many different ways of tying a saree. There are conventional types as well as modern ones. But the number is really amazing. I was so excited that I sat down and drew and drew and then coloured and coloured them. My daughters were amazed at my intensity which has not subsided. They asked if I was not bored just drawing dolls in sarees. I smiled. I told them I would draw others but I must first satiate my appetite for this and thus the number of cards with dolls in sarees increases daily. Anyway I have also put a little stop to my craziness. I have began to pick and choose the ones I find beautiful. Let me share of my creations with you and hope that you too will be like me, going crazy of them. Sorry that the picture is not very clear. I don't have a fantastic camera. This card was for a friend who got married. A not so modern girl. Look at the flowers on her hair, lovely right? Yes, I really enjoy doing the cards - doing up the dolls. I used a mixture of materials and I take about an hour for each card. Sometimes to wait for the glitter glue to dry, I take two days to complete a card.

A modern Indian girl

Two mischievous little girls. I adore these girls.

A modern Indian girl who looks a little like a Hawaiian girl. Ha! Ha! Ha!

An Indian bride - a traditional Indian bride

A some what traditional way of tying a saree. My daughters laughed at the autumn leaves. I told them that this girl lives in England so we have the falling leaves.

This is a punjabi suit and not a saree but I put it here to show you that I did this for a friend who is always in this attire.

This card was for a birthday girl.
