Walking Through the Valleys of Life"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."
- Psalms 23:4 (NKJV)
This verse describes my situation and even for friends around me too...
Lately, things have been happening around, and so much so that it happens to our loved ones..
Last Wednesday, I went down to NUH in the morning to visit my grandma who is still being hospitalized... Thank God that she's currently in the normal ward (as in not in ICU or SICU etc..), and at least I got to see her smile, but 1 bad thing about her is that it seems to us (my mum, relatives, and myself) that she suffered a great loss in terms of her memory... It just seem so bad that after 30 seconds, she can asked for our names again.. But then... also saw her crying halfway when she speaks about certain stuffs to my mum and relative, which I don't understand what they are talking about one another because I am super weak in dialect (Hokkien in this case). Before we left the ward while they were still talking among one another, I quietly pray for my grandma's recovery..
Throughout the morning in NUH, I keep constantly remind myself that I shouldn't be worrying and having fears. Instead I choose to believe by faith that God can touch my grandma in a special way, and all these, I shall cast all my burdens and worries to Him for whom He will take care of her.. And I sense my heart, that God wants me not to think too much regarding this situation, and continue to pray during my QT. (quiet time)
Yesterday night, I accompanied 1 of my friends down to Chinatown for dinner and after that went to SGH to visit his dad, who is currently in the final stage of the treatment for blood cancer in the ICU ward.. Both me and my friends sat at a corner somewhere to have a heart-to-heart talk, and after that, went back to the ICU ward to look at his dad again and pray together with him before we left SGH..
Friends, what I going to bring this message is that anything can happen to us, even when we are the believers of our Lord Jesus Christ. Doesn't mean that if we are Christians, means that everything will be a smooth sailing one for us. To the non-believers here, this also applies to you, in fact all of us here will be affected.. In life, sometimes we should told ourselves not to worry too much over a certain things or matters, even if something bad happened to our loved ones, our trust level should not drop. Continue to believe that they will recover, and this really tells us 1 thing, i.e., life is just too fragile for every single one of us here, and we really need to cherish whatever things we have here and treasured the moment with our loved ones.. With that, I shall end off this post of mine here and busy my own stuff... Take care everyone and may God bless you in a special way.. ^_^
