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.........

Hello Everyone
I am doing great....! 6 more days to go for the wedding. I miss you all and wish you could be here. It's been an exciting season here for me. Lots of crazy testimonies. I got an opportunity to share my testimony in 4 different churches. I was also able to prophesy over some of the youth here as well.
I love you all, and will post some pictures of the wedding soon! Joe sends his love.
Miss you...

We're getting married!
Sorry for the delay in writing this blog. Here's a quick update since the last blog.
Last month my dad went down to meet with Joe and gave us his blessings for the marriage. Since then I moved out from my parent's house. I am now staying with a believer's family in the southern part of the country. I have also been able to connect with other believers and have been going to church. Joe and his mom came over to meet me. We saw each other after nearly a year. It was an amazing moment for both for us. We got to do some wedding shopping together. Joe bought be a wedding saree. It is beautiful!
The wedding date has been fixed for the 12th of April. It will be a registered marriage, as requested by my father. We are then going to have a grand reception on the 14th.
Joe and I would want to take this time in welcoming you all to our wedding and we seek your heartiest blessings.
With lots of Love,
Gayathri and Joe

News and Update!
Hello friends and family....you are all so missed! The past 2 months in India has been no less than a warzone for me. Although I've had my share of joys in being reunited with my family, I also faced tremendous spiritual warfare as well. If it hadn't been for Joe, I don't think I would have made it. He has been my support all along...waiting patiently and praying for me unceasingly. No, I haven't see him yet in person...Still waiting!
I wish I could write some more details concerning my life and challenges here. But somehow it's not so easy for me to express my deepest feelings/experiences. I just can't seem to put them in words. All I can say is that God's grace and your love and prayers have kept me.
However, in the midst of all this I have also been growing deeper in the Word and in revelation. I am learning to walk with God in a new way. I sometimes feel that I don't even know this God. But regardless of what I feel, He has been Faithful to keep me.
The other good news is that my father has decided to meet with Joe. In fact, they are meeting this coming week. I hope things will turn out fine. Please keep us in prayer and pray for my health.
I hope you are all keeping good. These are some hard times but God is still in control and He always makes provision of Joy in the midst of these circumstances. We just have to open our eyes and look for them. His goodness and mercy surrounds us!
Psalm 23
"Adonai Elohim is my Shepherd;
I do not lack.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of Adonai Elohim
Forever."
Psalm 100:4
"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. I will enter His courts with Thanksgiving."
With Love,
G3

Update!
Wish you all a very Happy New Year! Hope you are doing well and looking forward to all that God has for you this year. It's been exactly a month now that I have been in India. A lot has happened since then.
I am continuing to stay at my parent's house. I am very glad that I get to spend some time with them. I love being in India, although it took me several weeks to get over the culture shock after landing here. The change of lifestyle has been drastic. But in God's grace I am getting used to it.
I've had my share of challenges as well. My parents have told me that they are not ready to meet with Joe yet and that they needed some more time. My father has requested me to wait for a couple of months and first get acclimatised to Indian conditions. So I submitted to him. Finances are a bit challenging right now, am looking for work somewhere.
Some days are harder than others. But God is strengthening my faith in a new way. In a prevalently Hindu household, I am now learning to walk out my Christian faith. God is teaching me that Christianity is more than just not denying Christ (through my words), but demonstrating the faith through my actions......in patience, humility, servitude, kindness, honoring my parents, submitting to those above me and meekness. Slowly but steadily I am rising up above the waters. I want to thank you all for thinking about me and being concerned for me. The thing that has been hardest for me is that I don't have any Christian fellowship, except for Joe's family and another Indian Christian family in India.
Joe and I have been in touch over the phone. He calls me everyday. He's been really supportive and encourages me in the Lord every time he gets a chance. I am so thankful to the Lord for him. It is hard for both of us to be so far apart and not see each other at all. But we also know that we must wait in the Lord.
Well that's all for now.
Love,
Gayathri
