The author was at the peak of service and leadership when confronted by a chronic heart ailment, compounded by unusual nerve disorder. Such condition has constrained his active life of service for more than a year now. Most of his time is spent at home due to limited mobility. It was a devastating experience for him and family. The worst they ever encountered so far. Adding pain was the realization that they have given all in service without saving for times of crisis.
The delay of complete healing makes him vulnerable to discouragement and depression. An on-going wrestle with the nagging issues of pain and suffering and search for the meaning of all these experiences in life. Yet the test of time and circumstances since 2009 has given him the opportunity to evaluate life and faith. He has more time for self and family. More time to read the bible, pray, meditate, reflect, put faith into action in almost all aspects of life. All the beautiful things which had deprived to him due to very hectic schedule prior to ailment. More time for faith journey that goes on.
