Getting to know God personally is the most fulfilling thing you will ever have in your life. It’s often difficult to grasp because we wonder if we can ever know God personally.

Unsearchable
Books, stacks and stacks of books. Growing up in India, my relationship with books was simple – test score. I read books, when needed, so I could pass my tests. My school had a small library and we weren’t allowed to check out books. We could read it and give it back before exiting the […]

Umbrella Dance
It was raining while we were travelling in our car the day before yesterday and my 2 year old daughter suddenly realized she needed an umbrella to dance in the rain. My husband and I reasoned with her throughout the entire trip and she finally agreed to use my umbrella for dancing when we got […]
