EXCITING NEWS

The secret is officially out…and I am so excited to be able to finally share the good news!! Daniel and I are expecting our first little one around the estimated due date of October 9. It’s both a relief and a disappointment that that’s still so far away!



I’m at 10 weeks and already have a little baby belly popping! Not so easy to hide anymore! (That was the best pic I could get taking it myself!) I’ve been really tired and practically falling asleep at my desk at work. I’ve also had not-so-wonderful morning sickness that lasts all day. A friend told me to try wearing seabands (those highly attractive gray things on my wrists) and they’ve worked really well. Otherwise, we’ve just been really happy and excited about the new addition to our family!
Baby DnA is about the size of a plum right now, but has a steady heartbeat, all major organs and even fingers and toes. Hard to believe that so much can happen in such a short amount of time!
(Irene akka, you were right and you didn’t even know it!)

Congratulations to Anu and Dan

Let's not forget to congratulate Thatha anand and Aji/Avva Kala!

Congratulations to Phallu and Michelle!


Michelle is expecting her baby October 8th (we already have 14 family birthdays in Oct, so we can add one more!)

WHAT CAN WE GIVE UP FOR LENT ?





A Different Approach to fasting

Fasts have a tendency to be oriented toward things like giving up food
or television. But there are many other creative ways we can welcome
Jesus' healing touch.


Here are suggestions you may want to consider.


1. Fast from anger and hatred. Give your family an extra dose of love
each day.



2. Fast from judging others.

Before making any judgments, recall how
Jesus overlooks our faults.



3. Fast from discouragement.
Hold on to Jesus' promise that He has a perfect
plan for your life.



4. Fast from complaining.

When you find yourself about to complain,
close your eyes and recall some of the little moments of joy Jesus has
given you.



5. Fast from resentment or bitterness!.

Work on forgiving those who may
have hurt you.



6. Fast from spending too much money.

Try to reduce your spending by ten percent

and give those savings to the poor.
