The Waiting Room

We use the phrase “in the meantime” while waiting for something. 

When we’re in the waiting room, the “meantime,” waiting for our answers or our miracle, it’s often pretty mean, isn’t it? 

So, what do we do in the meantime? How do we keep our faith and trust that God is working when we can’t see it?

Everyday we deal tons of what-ifs? Entertaining the what-ifs in life is the first step to being overtaken with worry.

Worry is taking responsibility for things we were never intended to handle. 

Worry says that we can handle it when many times we simply cannot.

 Are you worried that you worry too much? You don't defeat worry by worrying about it. 

You defeat worry by redirecting your concerns to Someone who can actually do something about your situation. 

It does not mean that you do not take responsibility for the things you are supposed to handle; it just means that you know when you stop and God begins.

All of the pain we are carrying doesn’t scare God. He can absolutely handle our questions, fears, and even our anger. Just keep coming to Him. Trials can make us cling to Christ or flee from Christ. Cling to Him.

Redefining Parenthood: Equal Responsibilities, Equal Love

As I navigated through challenges of parenting our sons, I couldn't help but reflect on the importance of shared responsibilities in our household. A friend's experience resonated with me - her husband refused to change diapers or care for their child, citing it as the mother's job. While mothers have a unique bonding experience, it's essential to recognize that both parents have an equal share of responsibility. Honestly, my home isn't perfect, now that we are parenting two boys but we strive for balance. When I returned to work, my husband took on childcare duties, adjusting our schedules to ensure our sons received the care they needed. It wasn't seamless, but he grew into an exceptional caregiver, taking on roles traditionally associated with mothers. It's infuriating to hear people refer to fathers caring for their kids as 'babysitting' . A baby-sitter is someone who takes care of a child temporarily. A father caring for his children is simply b...

Rewrite Your Story

We've all got parts of our past we wish we could redo. Moments we replay in our heads, wishing we'd done things differently. But here's the truth: your past isn't a life sentence. It's just one chapter in your story. What matters most is what you choose to do now. Every day, you get to turn the page, write a new story, and decide that your story doesn't end with pain, mistakes, guilt, or heartache. You're not stuck, and you're not defined by what happened or the choices you made. You're evolving, and the beauty of life is that you get to take the pen back and write something new – something true to who you are now. So, stop looking back with regret. Your past shaped you, but it doesn't define you. Look forward with intention. You're in control of how your story ends, and trust me, it can still be extraordinary.

Decoding Delhi School Part 2

A truly appreciable format!  As a parent, I've always been curious about my son's performance in the entrance exam, not because I'm obsessed with marks, but because we relocated from a place with different educational standards and I want to know the areas we might be lacking to reach the standards here. My son and I worked diligently for weeks, revising concepts and basics in grammar and math. So, it was thrilling to receive a comprehensive assessment sheet, complete with insightful feedback on his strengths and weaknesses from the evaluating teacher. As a parent, this is exactly what I look for in a school - transparency, constructive feedback, and a genuine interest in helping my child grow. Kudos to Delhi School for setting a high standard! In conclusion, I'm impressed and grateful for the school's thorough assessment process. It's clear that they prioritize understanding each child's unique needs and potential. I'm excited to see my son thrive in th...
