Sometimes i really find difficulty to go through days which are bad and good. So many mixed emotions. It began as a good day as i took 2 days leave - yesterday and today to finish up my OT studies. I just have to write one more essay and i can move on to the NT.

I usually do my reading and studying at MacD at MidValley. This gives me added incentive to watch a movie when i have finished. While watching Pathfinder (which i rate so-so) i got a call from office regarding a colleague from Thailand who was diagnosed with Leukemia (aggressive). What makes it even more harsh is that she was diagnosed with it a few days after delivering her child. I know her when i spent nearly 2 and a half weeks in Jakarta for a IFES senior staff consultation some years back. We had such fun at that consultation. Such a terrible news to get at the first week of 2007.

Then at night, i had my occasional supper with Vidhy and Sau Chee, my uni buddies. It was great catching up, talking about life and God. These times are really good for my soul.

I found a real gem on astro after that at 1 am. It was actually screening "the end of the spear' - the movies about jim elliot and his story at ecuador. It was a great movie to watch and made me feel the pain of his son as he said goodbye to his father and also when he got the news about his death. And the climax when the person who killed his father confessed many years later and how he reacted with anger and forgiveness. All for  the sake of Jesus Christ. What a movie to watch in Astro - channel 23 Kira. It was mostly in the ecuador language though and i think that it why it passed through censors.

It the morning at about 7 am i was suddenly woken up by Debbie and she said "i love you daddy' and went back to sleep. What a way of oppening my day.

That was it - bad news and good all in 24 hours. I thank God as he knows when to give me these days as i am sure that if it was only bad i would be depressed and if it was only good, i would take it for granted. God surely knows what i need best - though i would rather just have good days.
