My brother

I never had a good relationship with my brother and I never doubted it is due to the lack of parental guidance in our youth.

You see, I came from a troubled family where my parents were always fighting, and police visits are quite common.

I only remembered that when we were young, we always played together and I guess my brother do love me in his own way. But as we grew, starting from the teenage years where hormones wreak havoc on everything, we started to drift apart till now it has always been very awkard for us to communicate normally.

I am thankful for the wonders of technology because my brother and I finally manage to communicate like two normal people(and for once, not ending up in a big fight and screaming at each other) through instant messaging. Don't you just love technology?! I think it is great to break the ice and the awkardness because for once, you don't have to see the face of the person you are talking to and it is at the comfort of both person's home, or anyother place which you don't share.

It started off with me informing him that our dad is sick and is scheduled for an operation and I guess things jsut went on. I shared openly about my faith with him for I know he used to believe in Christ and I thanking and giving glory to God for what I am today and all that I have.

To many this sounds like nothing but to me, it is an achievement. I am getting more and more convinced as each day passes that God allows for this ailment of my dad to happen for a specific reason so that I can share my faith with my family and hopefully and prayerfully, they will all come into the Lord and receive salvation.

Glory be to God! Amen
