faith & strength in times of trial...

time flies...
in a short while, im now in sem5...
n im finally doing my practical again...

being a nurse, i get to meet lots of ppl...
yup! ppl who r sick lar...but...
if u really open ur eyes...u can really learn alot from them!

:( i've been eating fish 4d past 21yrs...but never once did i care to pray or thank d fishermans 4all their hardworks! i rmb getting to know during report time (passing over), how a fisherman lose his leg when he got his leg caught around a net...n when d boat tat d net was attached to drove off, it pull d fisherman along...n d next thg he knew was...he lost his leg jz lk tat! my gdness…i was thking how does it feel to lose a leg? i told myself “i must go see that uncle! i must console him! i wish i can gv him a pat on his shoulder n tell him everythg's gonna b ok! He must be really sad! :( ” when i 1st met him, he didn't wanna talk much! so i actually tried to talk to him, by taking his menu order for him. i was so shock...when he chose to eat FISH for all his 3meals...breakfast, lunch n dinner! "wat? didn't he jz lose his leg partially related to FISHes? n he still wants to eat FISH??" slowly he started talking to me. but i couldn find d courage to tell him "its ok" coz its not ok 2me! i can ask him "how r u?" n he'll say he's fine with a little smile! yea...he can still smile! :)
time past, n we started to talk more...get to know uncle is very famous! d whole kampung actually came to visit him! uncle is indeed a very nice happy go lucky person who loves to joke. so...u can guess d pat n “its gonna be ok” that I wanted to give him so much? Haha…its not applicable coz he will smile happily n joke with me! I can NEVER forget the moment he lifted n wave his amputated leg (its amputated below d knee) to me, with a naughty smile...n he said “tmr im going 2join d Olympics!!”
~oh my gdness...i almost fainted when he did tat!~
another time…again with a smile, “haiz…nvm lar…jz retire early lor, hor?!”
doesn’t it sound lk he’s comforting me instead of me comforting him?
d truth is...uncle didn’t jz lost his leg…he lose his job n income as well! but he knew, he had 2b strong!

looking at uncle...i look back n saw d "me"
...who cries over little little problems...
...who use 2grumble over what i don't hv/wat i hv to try so hard 2get...
but looking at uncle, i know how weak i am...
how wrong i am to grumble over my almost perfect life...
i know very well, in each trial...i was never alone!
yea...God did not promise a life with no worries/problems...
but He promise 2b with us...2gv us strength, 2go through each n every trial tat He permits 2happen in our life...
He promise tat He'll never leave us alone...
all we need is jz a little faith...
may God bless you uncle... :)
