Even in the middle of a hectic day, I found myself thinking deeply. I was tired—mentally and physically—and for a moment, all I wanted was to rest my mind. Just to pause and feel the things I’m grateful for today.
There’s really so much to be thankful for.
While reviewing patient diagnoses and client cases, I couldn’t help but reflect on my own journey. I’ve carried my own cross when it comes to health. Honestly, I didn’t manage it well before—stress often took over, and I rarely took a day off to care for myself. But somewhere in the middle of it all, God whispered, “It’s time to see life’s beauty.”
That quiet moment made me realize that being constantly busy without taking time for God and for myself isn’t really living. He made me rethink so many things—things I had overlooked, things I needed to change.
As I return to my work—doing interviews, checking documents and requirements—I’ve come to call this season the "groundwork" of my calling. Each file I read, each story I come across, reminds me of how tough life can be. And yet, despite the pain and limitations, especially when financial help is scarce, people still push through. They fight. They survive. That alone makes me want to silently pray for every individual whose name crosses my desk.
It reminds me to reflect every day—not just on what’s wrong or missing, but on what we do have. The truth is, we have far more reasons to be grateful than to complain. Many of these people aren’t complaining. They’re simply doing their best to make it through the day.
Life is short—that’s true. But it feels even shorter when we fail to live it well. On the other hand, when we embrace each day fully, there are no regrets. We live beyond what we thought was possible.
Even in the hardest moments, life remains beautiful. It all depends on how we choose to see it. And often, while we’re hoping for just one flower to bloom, God is already preparing a whole garden for us.
