Life in The Family International

Today has been heaps of work, but I enjoyed it because I’ll be traveling soon. Heh! I am off to Canada for the first time in my life (I am Canadian, after all). It’ll be such a long flight. Like, no sleep for… awhile, anyway. Probably not until tomorrow afternoon (I don’t sleep well on airplanes). We stocked up on a lot of Indian spices and curry mixes to make Indian food for my brother who is living in Canada right now.

The last few days I have been feeling pretty overwhelmed and incapable, but it’s good because through it I am learning the “Art of Dependence,” depending on Jesus’ strength. I just love this quote:

This year each of you, will come to understand the strength of weakness in a way you have never known or understood it before. You will live the reality of this spiritual principle this year, because your own strength will fail. You cannot make it through this year of strengthening otherwise‚ for I have designed it that way. I have made this year so beyond yourself that you will be forced to fall upon Me, your Rock, and in this falling you will find the strength that only I can give.

Falling on the rock is better than getting stoned That’s for sure.

Deepa is a member of The Family International and is a missionary, tutors a group of 4 teens, does social and humanitarian projects, markets educational products, sells Activated magazine subscriptions, does Christian counseling, sing for a band, part time secretarial work, and other things too because my life is full of surprises.
