Thinking of you all,

[nicky ahamat watawala]

My dearest Brothers and Sisters

Just wanted to give a shout out to the members of the Original online Crl platform( VCRL).

We have all moved on to other platforms, but I wanted you to know :

You were all my lifeline  when I needed you most 13 years ago..Only God knows the role you played in His plan to reach me and counsel me....

We are not in touch that much  and this platform is silent, but I carry you all in my heart in gratitude..

I hope you are all well,  your journey is joyful and peaceful  despite of your tragedies and challenges....

May God continue to bless you  all...

A final thought - 

For the Thiusands of words I know to speak, for the hundreds  of beautiful ways I know  to describe things, I can  not capture the length and breadth, depth or height of the beauti and splendour or majestic power of God we have all seen... I can only  utter a simple sigh in awe and wonder... 

Yet, I get the feeling, our heavenly creator who gave us life with one simple breath, will know  the depth of that one simple sigh and that should be enough...

Praise  the Lord,

God bless you  all  ( VCRL), be safe ...

Praise the Lord. Yes we can never forget this forum and CRL for what we are today. We may not publicly acknowledge all times but our heart says Thank You CRL and thank you Jesus for introducing CRL to us. 

Praise God Nicky

Praise the Lord!

Dear Nicky, Kumar and all my beloved brothers and sisters on VCRL,

When I read the name of this forum which starts with  'Virtual' nearly 13+ years ago, it amazes me to witness what the Lord started then, has today enlarged to a more dynamic virtual platform - presently called zoom!

He is once again opening our inner eyes with His Word  'no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind can conceive what God has prepared for those who love Him' to see His enfolding plan for 'those who love Him'.     He is the GREAT I AM !!     When He ministered to Nicky, me, Kumar and so many of us via VCRL it was only the beginning.  

Let's be excited about what the future holds for us - He created the Universe, and brings us back to this reality especially in this day of so much turmoil.  Let's not be restricted to CRL platform - but witness it's spirituality beyond  - John 3:16   GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD....... !

God bless you all. Much love!

Felicia

Praise the LORD.

Dear Sister Nicky

Great to hear from you and the fact is I did not know that the VCRL community had moved!  Yet, it must be what must be.

As for the many many e-mails that went up and down along the VCRL corridors, and among them, the most heart anchoring ones were from you, I am so grateful.

As you and your family journeyed purely on Faith, all of your experiences shared in such detail, and so lucidly (your 'A final thought' above is, in itself a poem) for me it all had an anchoring effect among life's toughest waves.  Kawaka and Seth, while being twins, showed us how GOD and our Faith in GOD could take us along so many different paths, yet in the end we are with HIM.

GOD Bless all of you and May GOD allow us to meet each other in HIS Presence one day.

Upali

P.S.  Since I am not on any of the other platforms, it is time for me to make the final good-bye to VCRL.  If any of you want to drop a mail, my personal e-mail is marcus...@gmail.com.  Also my heartfelt thanks to the many VCRL brothers and sisters who prayed for me and my family, and who prayed with me.

Good-bye.

 

But before I vanish, I couldn't resist to re-present Sister Nicky's poem (sorry for any 'copyright' infringement!)

A final thought - 

 

For the Thousands of words

I know to speak,

for the hundreds  of beautiful ways

I know to describe things,

I cannot capture the length and breadth,

depth or height of the beauty and splendour

or majestic power of GOD we have all seen...

I can only utter a simple sigh in awe and wonder... 

Yet, I get the feeling, our heavenly Creator

Who gave us life with one simple breath,

will know the depth of that one simple sigh

and that should be enough...

Praise the Lord!

Brother Upali

1st, Thanks for re setting my thoughts into the poem.  It is lovely

Secondly,  I  didnt mean to imply that this email forum is shutting down. I was simply reminiscing of what a vital lifeline it used to be connecting  all of us across cities, Towns and the globe....

The  more CRL grew in each country,  groups have set up cover, WhatsApp  to communicate and motivate . We now worship globally via Zoom... 

The VCRL is silent for that reason.  Kawaka's story is still playing out.  I will still use this space to keep you all posted on the mirracles and the ways of the Lord I encounter on my journey...

Be safe, and May God bless you..

Nicky 

PS- I am framing the Poem

Praise The Lord!

Dear Nicky & all my brothers and sisters of VCRL,

I fully endorse all sentiments expressed by all of you.

Though I had been silent for a long time all of you have always been a very vital part of my journey with The Holy Spirit over the past twelve plus years. It was from you all I learned the ABC of this journey in The Spirit. It was you who encouraged me to jump in at the deep end, saying ‘yes’ to The Lord to start a CRL community in Sydney while I myself was a novice in the community. It was you who reminded me that Our God who made a donkey speak, will definitely do the same through me😁

All of you, through your testimonies helped lay a very firm foundation for my personal journey in The Spirit.

Nicky, I was somewhat amused when I saw your email as I was actually thinking to myself about our VCRL family lately & honestly thinking I haven’t heard from Nicky for a while...., your emails are so so inspiring always. I was thinking of Kawaka & smiling, remembering the days of tension when he had to undergo various procedures.. ! 

Beautiful times, for sure. The Father knew we all needed that time to bond & grow... such a GOOD Father!!

To all brothers & sisters of VCRL who became family to me since the latter part of 2007, I love you all very much, & it fills my heart to think of each of you. I’m sure we all are placed in different parts of The Vineyard, to fulfill the work of our Master!

God bless you all.
