Enlightening Trip

Enlightening Trip


After enlightening trip from Cleveland to Michigan, Maryland to North Carolina, from North Carolina to Virginia, Virginia to Florida and from St. Louis to Niagara Falls, I am slumped back to restless life of Nepal which is under construction. Missed plane to Delhi helped mo to acknowledge there are angels in America. Lord used my disappointment to His appointment.
  Meeting friends and loved ones, making new friends, visiting new places,  listening to President Obama in a closed gym (Thanks to Carrie Merkle-Emily's sister), attending wedding of Sarah Gane in an old barn in Michigan then in the elegant hotel in Cleveland for the wedding of Carrie Merkle, sharing how Jesus is walking in the dusty road of Nepal to a few churches and friends, visiting Adventist spiritual statespersons in General Conference, meeting some Spicer alumni in Maryland, visiting some Bhutanese refugees and writing about them in Nepali national newspaper,  receiving some  friends who drove hundreds of miles from Canada and another parts of US were just a few of notable highlights of my trip.

 Though leaving my sons Jitendra, Dipendra and his wife Emily was hard but I felt cruel leaving my intellectually alert but emotionally fragile granddaughter Maya in tears.

God willing, I will be back to "America which may not be my home but just passing through" but in true sense it is my home because my family is there, and  I have only a house in Nepal.

I am thankful to my sons for making it possible to be in America, the land of choice. When the disciples were tired, Jesus told them they should rest, He led them to the desert, I appreciate Him to lead me to America to rest. After recharging my battery, I am ready to move on full speed to lift Him up. Your prayer and good wish are the fuel to let me live multipurpose driven life.

Love knows no distance, time and attraction, but affection,
Please keep in touch,
