LAST THREE
October has always been a mad rush for us at Seminary. Essay
deadlines. Project presentations. Exam preparations. Reflections due. And
really everything else you can possibly think of for a student’s final few
weeks of terms.
At the turn of the month, as timely as you would have things
occur in a drama serial, we all took turns to fall ill. Nathan was hospitalised
for Croup and the week after he was discharged, Mya started having mysterious
fevers which became a hacking cough and at one point all of us were having
fevers.
To be honest, it was frustrating being ill. I (Amy) was
angry at how weak I was and disappointed that my body had succumbed to a simple
flu, especially when I needed to be the pillar at home with Jonathan’s work
piling up. But now as I look back at those ten days, it was an amazing time for
me and both the children. Just endless hours at home, taking our time, to
paint, to read, to play and to just lie in bed together. Talking, laughing and
loving one another. What a luxury to have my children all to myself, with time
to spare!
Thank you all for the prayers, texts, barley water delivery
and warm meals.
Here is how we would appreciate your prayers in what is left
