The flu

July 21st, 2005 | By Deepa living in India | More from Deepa

Okay, I know I have been a delinquent blogger. But I was in bed, like flat on my back for the last few days. I came home on Sunday (from Singing) and didn’t feel too well, got to bed early and spent the next 3 days sleeping with small breaks in between where I would [...]

Sleep…and a piercing

July 14th, 2005 | By Deepa living in India | More from Deepa

Slept in till 9:30 (Saturday is my day off, I’m not just being lazy). We call our day off “W’n’R”, “W” for Word (devotional reading) and “R” for Rest! My mom just returned from Cuddalore, as she had to stay an extra day. We took time catching up on each other’s week. I’m so proud [...]

Cuddalore tsunami relief

July 13th, 2005 | By Deepa living in India | More from Deepa

All the kids came home from Cuddalore (the tsunami affected area where we are working). They spent all night on the bus so were very tired. They woke up in the afternoon and I listened to all their excited stories. They slept on mats of the floor for the first time in their lives. And [...]

Pants

The last few days the house has been really quiet. Our home population of 25 has come down to 12. Every home member above the age of 16 gathers together each morning for two hours of devotions, prayer, and prophecy. These last few days two living room couches have been empty, and we have spent [...]

Birthday & tracting

July 9th, 2005 | By Deepa living in India | More from Deepa

My Dad just got back from Sri-Lanka, apparently the Tsunami relief work there has been hampered by a lot of internal strife, but he accomplished a fair bit. He brought us a bag of Rambutan’s (I luv them!!!). Spent the day with Dad and my little brothers and sisters. Went out for lunch and the [...]

New school year

July 8th, 2005 | By Deepa living in India | More from Deepa

Getting ready to start a new school year and a valuable member of our teaching team is moving to another home so change is in the air! This last week has been a whirlwind of meetings and prophecy sessions to determine our goals and plans for the next few months. After all the teachers meetings [...]

Activated!

July 7th, 2005 | By Deepa living in India | More from Deepa

Great Day!! We reached our average Activated stats per month (50 subscriptions) for the first time in 3 months. I think the reason our subscriptions fell is because of the big focus on Tsunami disaster relief…but excuses are bad so everyone got out there and we did it. Went to a school where they teach [...]

Weekend fun

July 6th, 2005 | By Deepa living in India | More from Deepa

The Saturday breakfast at this home is MYO (make your own) when you wake up! Since Saturday is my day off, I spent my morning studying/reading up on the intricacies of working with, living with, and loving people, Its all about love, (1Cor.13) I need regular reviews…LOL My little brothers came back from their School [...]

It’s Friday

July 5th, 2005 | By Deepa living in India | More from Deepa

Its Friday! Friday nights are great because Saturday is my day off. Well, more like my day to sleep in late (8:30 or 9:00), lounge around the house and spend time reading and receiving prophecies from Jesus–just me and Him . Today, aside from teaching, I planned an art and craft activity curriculum for the [...]

Home again

June 30th, 2005 | By Deepa living in India | More from Deepa

Arrived in India (Chennai). My dad is taking off again though, flying to Sri Lanka for Tsunami relief work*. The rest of us are going home to Bangalore. Dad dropped us off at the train station and went to the airport. I read, prayed, and pulled my hair out on the train (it was the [...]
