Making a Difference ~ Mama's Little Nestwork

The purpose of life is not to be happy - but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all.  ~Leo Rosten

I'd like to first thank Mama Hen for considering me worthy of featuring in this awesome Nestwork. I'm so happy and excited to be a part of this family! She has spent hours together to bring this to fruition. i greatly appreciate that. If you haven't been to her nest yet, please pop by. You will be inspired! 

Here's a little bit about me...

I'm Ruth. I was born and brought up in the mountains of North East India and now live in Bangalore, down South. I started blogging a year back. I thought it's a nice way to make memories and little did i know i'd meet many wonderful people here and how much i'd learn through blogging! I'm blessed with godly parents and two younger brothers. I love my job in a corporate world but teaching is my passion and i'd go back to teaching in a few years time.:)

i do not consider myself an inspiring blogger. gosh, i do not even write proper English..!! and i do not think most of my blog posts are substantial enough that others would want to stop and read. i'm touched when people write to me, to tell me that my blog has inspired them. i thank God for that. many blogs i happened upon accidentally and i chose to follow. many chose to follow me back. we connected. and when we did, the gift of our friendship was unwrapped. this gift of friendship that has made a difference in my life. reading your posts have awaken a new understanding and enthusiasm deep within me. each comment and email i received from y'all has touched me and moved my soul to dance with joy. the thing i wanted and needed most... WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT and PRAYERS! i received them from each of you. i have been blessed !! thanks for making a difference in my life!!

i was thinking the other day just how wonderful it'd be to meet with all of you. i know thats practically impossible. but you know what i realize? life doesn't end here on earth. this life is only a shadow. our real life begins when we step on to glory in Heaven. and in that day as we walk the golden street, when we see each other, we'll recognize each other. i'm told there're no tears in Heaven but i'm almost sure i'll see tears of joy in our eyes. 

so until that day....

as we journey together, we will experience bright days and dark days too. there will be days we struggle with sea of emotions, defeat and despair. there will also be days of victory and we learn to understand what it takes to experience it. i believe this Nestwork is a platform where we can share our experiences and learnings to make a difference in each other's life. a place where we will learn to make a come back and receive an emotional recharge. 

so thank you again  Mama Hen for this awesome creation...!! 

and to all my fellow nestworkers... 

let's make a difference...!! 

Nice to meet you!!

Love,

Ruth
