Hope for the New Year
After reaching such a high and then crashing to such a low last year, all I want for this year is to be healthy again and getting back to doing the things I love. This year I decided that I would start making small steps to try to get my life back, well I don't know when my arm or lungs will feel better but I'm going to start easing myself back until I'm ready to work and play again, believing that God forbid I am on the road to recovery by the grace of God.
Well, this year has begun with a promising start...First, I've met friends, family and relatives, and had fun playing board games. Secondly, I have been adventurous having gone out and tried the tiger sugar bubble tea, and new limited menu offerings at mcdonalds, namely the salted egg fries, peach pie and pandan soft serve, to mixed reactions. Thirdly, I have taken up the bridge programme at mdas to redevelop my graphic design skills and have started physiotherapy sessions again with a new physio. This has been good coz firstly I will be getting back to at least some design work again and as for the new physio she seems to be able understand and recreate the pain in my shoulder better than anyone so far, has recommended some stretches that are easy to do but helpful given most exercises require a lot of help from someone in my condition but the suggested exercise does not need as much help, and she is even getting a physio friend with a specialisation in shoulder problems to help. Finally, the first church service of the year which was a combined service has inspired me again and reminded me to hope in the Lord and to learn to forgive others.
I don't know where 2019 will take me and if I will truly have my health, job and relationships restored or make progress in some but I will take a leap of faith and trust God to gives me the wings to fly or catch me even if I fall. My circumstances may be uncertain and I don't know whether things will get better but at least the start of this year has given me hope for the new year and my hope is in the Lord for whom nothing is impossible, if he will restore me, I will be well or if I am still unwell, he will comfort me but whatever it is he wants what is best for me and his grace is sufficient for me.
