waiting for soon
good news! mom (may) be able to escape (yes) mount sinai tomorrow.
although she is seriously skinny from all the blood loss, she may be able to sleep in the comforts of her own bed tomorrow night. once mom is home a nurse will come visit a couple times a day to hook her up to more penniciline. though she is out, she still needs to rid of all the bacteria in her heart.
yesterday i didn't get a chance to visit mom due to my busy-ness. by the time i finished with school + things visiting hours were over. boo. times like this i realise that i'm a "busy" christian (not a good thing at all). i get so preoccupied with the doing that the single one most important thing suffers - the one most meaningful relationship.
periodically i go through all my journals from years back and today i stumbled upon something my buddy the CHENGer wrote december 22, 2001 in a christmas card:
"... i know this year wasn't always easy - not for you, not for me, not for anyone, really.
but the questions you're asking now - questions about God, about yourself, about school, about friends, about life in general - know that there are answers to these quetsions, and know that with time, God's gonna show you why, one by one, things happen the way they do.
remember this much ____ : life .. it's like a tapestry. when you look at it and see nothing but knots, loose ends, and a seeming mess of incomprehensible and meaningless strands, know that on the other side, these "mistakes" create a masterpiece.
fine, it doesn't make sense now, but that's because we're on this side of the fence. all we can do is trust that God's done something gorgeous on the other side."
