What can I offer the lord, for all these goodness to me?”
How could I forget that day in February 2008, it was the occasion when my family and me realized the love and protection of Lord Jesus. My family consists of My Father, mother and younger Sister and me, My Sister; the one and only expectation in my life. She was studying for 3rd Year Nursing in Bangalore, in India. One day morning her friends called me from her hostel and asked me to reach there as quickly as possible. They said; my sister (Rinu) was having back pain and she couldn’t walk by herself. I went there and I took her to the nearby hospital. After the First investigation the doctor’s report was partial paralysis. I admitted her at NIMHANS Hospitals in Bangalore, one of the best neurology hospitals in Asia. The Doctors did an MRI Scanning and all other medical tests. After those tests they concluded that there was an abnormal growth which blocks the nerve system affection the spinal code towards the waist. Their only suggested was for a surgery and the chances were only 50/50. The doctors fixed the surgery for her for two days later. It was the last Friday of 2008 February. I have great trust and belief in the Almighty Lord and the Virgin Mary and I regularly visit The Renewal Retreat Center in Bangalore, Every Last Friday of the month we do have a night vigil dedicated to the Virgin Mary which is celebrated as Marian Night . My father accompanied me for the ceremony. At the time of the Adoration Rev.Fr. Reji Valiyaparambil announced from the stage that ‘there is a girl studying for nursing who is admitted in NIMHANS Hospital which the doctors had suggested surgery for partial paralysis is getting healed in this moment Lord Jesus is touching her’. After the prayer I went to the hospital early in the morning. I saw my sister waiting for me in the front gate of the hospital. She had walked through the hospital corridor. Tears ran down with joy when I saw this, I asked the Lord, Oh Lord! How could I thank you? But the Lord works in mysterious way now my sister is working as a nurse in Bangalore.
About ME My Academic Qualification is just H.S.C.( Higher secondary Certificate) We had gone through rough times and financially we were struggling which was the reason that I couldn’t complete my graduation. With an education qualification as low as that, It is impossible to get a good job. I knocked the doors of the Lord and again attended the night vigil and prayed sincerely to Mother Mary in the next Marian night (March 2008). As a result our Lord blessed me, with a job in an MNC company – Siemens Information Systems Ltd in Bangalore – That’s too as a Junior Accountant. Even thought I was week in maths, I took up the offer and worked with the Chartered Accountants of Siemens using my H.S.C. base accountancy. I had a very week memory for numbers and I used to find it very difficult to memories it. If any queries were asked I had to check the computer where the entries were made, which actually was annoying the superiors. I again knocked the doors of the Lord and today that shortcoming also is gone, I thank Mother Mary for the wonderful things that have touched me and my family it was in (April 2008). When I was working with Siemens I was fortunate to learn SAP/R3 the costliest Application Software.
For Past Three and half years I had been trying for a job in the Gulf. Every week I used to go through the job classifieds and attend interviews, the result was so pathetic none of them selected me. I never lost hope, In The month of September 2008 during the night vigil at the last Friday of the month Rev.Fr. Reji Valiyaparambil Announced from the stage that our lord is blessing five individuals with a job abroad. I strongly believed that out of those five I am one of them. The interview that I attended was for Belhasa Six Construct L L C. based in Dubai, and true to his word I was again blessed. Everybody was happy at home. I was very excited that I would be going to Dubai, after a very long wait, one of my dreams were fulfilled, I had never travelled by plane and to see one of the most beautiful and exciting cites. But tragedy struck me my left leg got paralyzed and was suffering from Acute Back Pain. I couldn’t move a single step by my own. I consulted a doctor in St. John’s Medical College, Bangalore. After MRI Scanning the Doctors told it is Disc Prolapses. That is a disc which has moved from the position and blocking the nerve system towards the left leg. Surgery was mandatory for me.
I was having a cashless health care insurance card of ICICI Lombard. But each time I tried to claim the Insurance they rejected my claim. I told the Doctors that without an insurance cover I wouldn’t be able to do the necessary surgery and more over I didn’t have to sufficient funds for further treatments. The next day was 9th November 2008 a Sunday, I got discharged from the hospital and I went directly to the Renewal Retreat Center. I reached there at the time of adoration. Rev.Fr.George Poothakuzhy was passing through the public, carrying the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. I shouted at Lord Jesus “I will not go outside of your church unless and until you heal me. I strongly believe in you. I believe you are the Doctor and Medicine”. Holy Sacrament which was passing bye I was standing very close to it. I suddenly felt the Holy Spirit touching me and I gained strength to stand up from the chair that I was sitting, my knees where able to support me the Back pain which was troubling me had suddenly vanished. I came into the Renewal Retreat Center by putting my hands on the shoulders of my Mother and one of my friends Dominic D’souza. Know I walked by putting my hand on shoulders of our Lord Jesus Christ. The rejected Insurance Claim was approved. The Insurance Company has agreed to reimburse the hospitalization expense.
In two days that is November 11th Tuesday. The Agent of called me. Asked me to get ready to travel to Dubai. They booked my ticket from Mumbai by 16th November Sunday. I took a bus from Bangalore to Mumbai, My dreams all came true, for four months I worked in Dubai in Burj Dubai on a project which we where handling (The Tallest tower in the world) without any trouble. But tragedy struck again for me my hope and dreams were shattered,
On 2009 February 17th I got terminated from Behalsa Six Construct L.L.C Dubai because of the Economic Crisis. I was desperate what would I do once I go back will I be able to support my family I tried all means to thing straight, I realized that my friend Dominic D’souza who was working for a recruitment firm in Doha, I contacted him as always the lord works in mysterious ways, On February 18th before I could have my lunch, I Got the Job offer letter from Doha. Without an interview Rumaillah Group Offered me a job through my friend Dominic D’souza. I asked the Lord “What can I offer the lord, for all these goodness to me?”.He answered through Deuteronomy 26.2 “Each of you must place in a basket the first part of each crop that you harvest and you must take it with you to the one place of worship”.
When my sister was hospitalized I used to offer from my monthly salary 350 INR (27 QR). But By 2009 March it became 3900 INR (300 QR). God has made many changes in my life. Thank you oh’ Lord for all these.
With True Belief,
Arun & Family.
