Prometheus Bound

Prometheus Bound

The most difficult limitations to embrace are our own personal ones, the ceiling on our capacity. We have to put aside the foolish talk of boundless human potential and pray, as Moses did, that God would “teach us to number our days” (Ps. 90:12). All our efforts have limits. There are people we cannot help, situations we cannot change, goals we cannot achieve. We have limits. Embracing our un-finiteness helps us look up to the God who is infinite. Our boundedness opens us up to His boundless grace.

As we confess our limitations and number our days, we can choose to surrender our dreams. “Dreaming big” cannot be a virtue in itself; we cannot assume that any big dream must be God’s dream because it is big. Dreams are for giving life to others. Joseph had to learn how to be a slave to Potiphar and a prisoner in Egypt before becoming a prince. In the difficult years, he learned to surrender his ambition and rejoice in someone else’s success. It was then that he was lifted out of prison and put in the position to save his brothers and keep God’s chosen family alive through years of drought.

Wish me these three for now.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh an American writer and aviation pioneer, 1906-2001 once said  "Don't wish me happiness-I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor-I will need them all."

The bug i wanna bitten by

Meeting my Heros and Sheros gives me a goose bump inside out. Probalby you've never heard of them or read about 'em. But all of 'em live for something bigger than themselves. In their own way they are changing the world at some corner of Hyd by changing someone's world. one at a time. (may the bug that bite my heros bite me too)


Some of the mothers from my church were going to visit an orphanage as their usual women's activity, I was invited to join 'em. So i went to meet this 22 years old girl who runs the orphanage and kids school.


She started this while she was 18, oh, that is so inspiring. I hand goose bump all over me.


I enjoyed the time i spent with the kids. They enjoyed me too. But i left inspired.
