Hi all,
Hope you are doing well. Life is going on as usual here. Just wanted to inform you about my new name! Yes, I have decided to change my name officially to 'Abigail Zion Daniel'. No more G3 I guess...
We are about to begin the legal process for the name change. Please pray that it goes on smoothly.
Miss you all....
Abigail :-)

Sabbath Year
Since last year, I have been receiving personal revelation concerning the Sabbath year mentioned in the book of Leviticus 25:1-7
" For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits, but in the seventh year, there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to YHWH. You shall not sow your field nor prune your vineyard. You shall not reap what grows of itself in your harvest, or gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land. The Sabbath of the land shall provide food for you.."
Concerning this Scripture verse, Holy Spirit began to speak to me and remind me how this is my seventh year running, in the Lord. It was for this reason that I had not had any job or ministry related opportunities come up this past year, until this point. On August 19th I shall be completing my seventh year and shall enter into my eighth year in the Lord. A year of new beginnings.
I have been enjoying this season of rest, yes a whole year! It was difficult in the beginning to be not involved in any kind of ministry or church activities. But as I realized the season that I'm in, I began to learn to rest in it.
And now, I am in a process of taking up a business/ ministry opportunity in India which starts around August 19th! Unbelievable timing of Elohim Almighty..!!!

Gaining Anointing on the inside
YHWH spoke to Moses, saying," Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from beaten (crushed) olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning continually." Lev 24:2 (ESV)
This past year and a half has been for me, a time of being hard-pressed on all sides. The verse in the book of Leviticus indicates that beaten/ crushed/ pressed olives produce pure oil. In other words, allowing the hand of Elohim to work in our lives through pressing and crushing, produces the Anointing on the inside.
My time in India
Life in India, needless to say, is very different from that of western nations. India is a land still under the clutches of idol worship & paganism. So much so that even believers are walking under the sway of the evil one, compromising and building ministries only to make profit. Very few people seem to be excited about the topic of Intimacy or even desire to comprehend the urgency of the times. Well, my heart has grieved so much these past several months over the condition of my people. So many have chosen the easy way, the broad road.
Family life in India is different altogether, very hard to live out. Different family members want to be involved in everything you do, the elders generally tend to control everything in the house....I'm talking about the believing families. Sometimes I wonder, where is the distinction between believers and unbelievers. God seems so distant. I have gone through seasons of intense loneliness and brokenness....away from everyone and everything I ever knew. And yet, this has been the very thing that has enabled me to cultivate oil on the inside.
I know God will make all things beautiful in its time. The arm of Yahushua has strengthened me and has made me victorious. And yes, I am so much thankful for my husband, who has been always beside me, encouraging me and teaching me by way of example, to walk in meekness. I love my husband. My gift in this life!
We are right now waiting on some major things. I will be sure to let you guys know about it. Thanks for loving us and thinking of us.

Married 3 months!
Hey guys here's a big hug from G3 and Joe....Finally I got to update my blog! Hope you like some of the pics that we posted. Marriage has been good for me! Joe is awesome. There were some initial adjustments for both of us to be back in India....but we're doing good now. I have started to look for a job in my field. I am really excited about it. A company just called me up recently for an interview. Will keep you updated on it.
At present I take care of a big house (7 bedrooms), make breakfast, lunch and dinner......phew! Yeah....and take care of mother-in-law and ofcourse my hubby. God has given us this special time together, away from any major obligations.
I am learning a lot about being a wife and a friend to my hubby. About Joe....he is very funny, a good listener, and a tender-hearted & patient guy.....good traits!!! He loves playing guitar and is constantly improvising himself. He is an excellent singer and a true worshipper at heart. I guess I can just go on and on about him. In a nutshell, God has indeed given me the BEST!
Alright enough for now. Please feel free to send your comments and wishes anytime. Would love to hear from you all. Much love.........
