“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased;
listen to him.”

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for all the comments on my last post and prayers across the world! Faith is a wonderful feeling, and yes, I am pushing through one day at a time!

Today’s gospel is how God reveals His glory on the mountaintop! A lot like how we can transform our inner selves by basking in this glory and listening to Him.

I’m still searching and trying to grasp for strands of my faith in my current scenario, and work and watching children die from cancer makes it harder to have faith every time!

I cant reflect much still but all I will say I am listening to Jesus and taking it ” One day at a time”

AMEN

  2. Thank you for sharing doctor.
    It reveals our humaness and encourage me to forge on too through all circumstances.
    May the Lord be Glorified always.

  3. Hang in there and always look for the light of Christ. It often hides in place we would not think to look. When exposed everything changes. May Peace be with you my sister.

  4. May God bless you with His peace as you see innocent children pass from this earth to be with God and not suffer the trials of earthly life.

  5. Analise, your willingness to express your true feelings and vulnerability to us, represents trust in us which is FAITH! Keep reaching out to him.

  6. Thank you for taking the time to post in spite of the difficulty you are going through. I know it’s hard to see young children suffering with cancer & many losing their battle. Although, in this life we can’t understand how God could let this happen. We have to trust in God, who is all good & merciful. One day we will understand. We just need to keep the faith and know God is all loving and place all our trust in him. May God bless you always and give you the strength and courage to face each day with hope. I can tell from your posts you are a very compassionate doctor. I’m sure your young patients feel blessed to have you as their doctor. May God bless you.

  7. One day at a time is all any of us can do in this life.
    God’s Blessings Doc 😉
    🙏
