I shall not want because THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart" Psalms 37:4

The Holy Bible is so full of promises from God and everything is so true unto me according to the WORD of the LORD.
This verse come to life each and every second I breathe. Theres one incident I have to share with you all which still brings tears to my eyes. On my son's (first child) first birthday, I was planning to wear a red salwar Kameez. The material for the salwar was with me for a looooong time (read 3 years,) and finally I gave it for stitching to wear for the occassion. I didnt want to buy a new material coz we had just made a huge investment at that point of time, we bought a house. I got the stitched salwar kameez on time and on the previous day of the Birthday party, I tried it on and as I was putting it on, a big TEAR!!!!! I was in tears, the material was gorgette/ chiffon, so cant stitch also!!! I just didnt know what to do.

Those days, I was OBESE, so I will never get ready made Salwar Kameez of my size. I always had to stitch it those days. And no way will I get one stitched in less than 24 hours notice, not even if I owned a shop!!!! There was nothing I could do. Well, to be honest, I didnt pray for a miracle coz it was practically impossible. But God knew my want. I didnt throw any tantrums, I just prayed and thanked God that I have other clothes which are good for special occassions (maybe not new).

On the day of the party, my Husband, me and Rohan went to Anna Nagar to collect the Birthday cake from Prima's Bakery. (we went one hour prior to the party) When I was in the bakery, I get a phone call from one of my dearest friends who was my teacher once upon a time (Padma teacher, but now I call her puthri chechy). She is no longer teaching but has a boutique in Anna Nagar. She asked me if I can just drop into her shop for a second on the way back. At first I said, I cant coz I have to get home and get ready coz guests will be arriving (remember, it was only 1 hour more for the party) but she said "No, Sojo, I will not delay you, just for a second". So we rushed to her shop, she gave me a packet and told me " This is for you for 1 year of motherhood" .

I opened and saw a beautiful salwar kameez. It was better than what I had planned to wear. She had my measurements because I stitch their often (the shop has a tailor). So she picked a Tusser silk Salwar suit material for me, made the tailor keep all his work aside and sat with him and made him stitch. I got it just an hour before the party. I almost cried.

MY JESUS IS NEVER EARLY, NEVER LATE, HE IS ALWAYS ON TIME.
and Because the LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want Psalms 23:1
