Life in General

Its been some time since I last posted about Mom. She's been doing great and her recovery is progressing well. She currently now at TTSH Rehab at AMK Hospital and shes expected to stay there for the month of Nov for intensive daily rehab. They're training her to walk, sit and coordinate her movements and stimulate her swallowing. She's been pretty emotional, sometimes laughing and crying for no reason, could be due to neurological as opposed to pscychological reasons. On the whole all's looking good.

Shuttling up everyday is tiring though. I usually head up after work if its a full day in the office and stay till about nine plus. Most times Im so zonked at the end of the day that I just go there and watch TV - theres this nice 9pm Channel 8 drama on HIV haha. Sometimes Mom slaps me irritably motioning me to pay attention to her instead haha.

Works been good, with a new found purpose since Ive made the decision to not go into full time ministry. Ive learnt that significance is derived from the difference I make to the lives of the people around me as opposed to my vocation, the call to spiritualise the secular. So if I'm gonna be around, then I'll jolly give my all to be the best finance guy around for His glory.

Dads and Dads to Be

When I watched this video, I recalled my growing years and how Dad played a pivotal role in my life. He wasn't perfect and I picked up both the good and the bad. But he was there for me and showed me what being a man was about. I wondered if my Dad could have been better, but I know he was the best he could be. Of all the roles, the most pivotal was that he mirrored, albeit poorly the love of my Father in heaven, who is perfect in every way.

In the same way, I am challenged to be the man God has called me to be now as the youths are watching and later on in my family for my kids, that in all things, the love of the Father might be reflected in me. For the men out there, may we embrace God's call to living a life of integrity, love, courage and humility for His glory.
