Choices and choices

I am coming to the last stretch of my honors and now need to decide if i am going to go further and do my MA.

We received news over the weekend that Kirsty will not be going back to work and there is a small chance of Ethan (our unborn baby) being born blind or deaf, not good news.

It does however let me think about so many other families that have children with some or other disability. They seem to cope so well. Speaking to friend tonight she said something that only she could say because their family have been through something similar, her comment; You will get through it no matter what, you will look back and see that you have become stronger because of it. Her experience allows her to say this without sounding patronising. So now we wait and place all thingsin th hands of God.

Where faith Begins

Kirsty. my wife, was admitted to hospital yesterday. She is 33 weeks preganant and has needed some tests done becasue she has not been well. Kirsty comes home tommorrow but there is a chance that she will not return to work. With what Kirsty has there is a 10% chance that baby could be born blind or deaf. Ten percent is not much but enough to get a scare and be anxious for the next while. We as a family need to have faith and believe that baby will be born ok.

Andrew makes my Day

In the local congregation where my office is, is a young man who is blind and mentally challenged. He comes to the office at least once a week with his mom, the time spent with him makes my day. He is challenging me and teaching me how to work, chat and be with people that are different. Andrew is a lovable guy and is the same age as i am. I look for things that feel different so that I can share them with him. For now I am grateful for the journey that i am on, learning how to just be.... nothiong else
