Of highs and lows


What a week it has been for me.

I felt an all time low at the beginning of the week when I found myself questioning if this is what I wanted to do. I recalled the struggles that I faced exactly a year ago when I was on clinical placement - yearning to be able to complete the 12weeks in one piece. Tears were shed, disappointing words were heard. What more could one ask for? It did help that I had friends who were going through something similar and I am glad to say, we did it!

Nevertheless, my flame was rekindled after hearing what Ming Ting, a nutritionist by training, armed with a Masters in Public Health, had to share. She shared her Masters thesis - effectiveness of NAPFA and TAF programmes in Singapore in combating childhood obesity. That wednesday afternoon, I finally found my passion - really, its health promotion for children. I have not felt like that in ages. I shared my joy with the Lord and thank Him for sending Ming Ting and of course, close friends.

With an emotional high mid week, it started to taper down once Friday crawled in. It was Quentin's last day at work, having tendered his resignation 3 months ago. He shared with me that he is still feeling mixed and complicated. I have to admit although the entire cardiac team and rehab staff will miss his presence, I sincerely wished him all the best in his future endeavours, knowing that he will make an impact where he go. A farewell dinner cum coffee session the night before to enjoy each other's company.

Cheers!

Take care Mr Q!

Having such highs and lows, I thank the Lord that I feel recharged spiritually after hearing Pastor preach about anointing - grain, new wine and oil - having died on the cross for my sins and knowing that I will receive His blessings abundantly. Thank you Lord Daddy!
