My tears

Was it self- pity?
Was it fear?
Was it woes?

Or maybe a combination of these 3 factors that move me to my tears and knees?

The visit to the optician, the frustration of choosing either a CL or spectacles, the fact that it's not possible for me to have perfect vision in my KC eye, the cost and other 1001 questions that I have... it was all too much to bear. Clutching my mobile phone, I thought of a list of people whom I can call as my tears well up but none of them seems appropriate.

I kneel.

It's beyond my strength to battle Keratoconus. It's beyond my tolerance to know that I'm losing my vision day by day and there's nothing much I can do about it. It's beyond my capability to love others when I screaming for love and affection. It's beyond me to smile and keep my life going when all I want is to take a break from everything.

I kneel and gave Him all my tears and fears.

He, in return gives me grace, strength, hope and love to keep me going.
