Keep the Faith
Mad Dog told me again and again to forget this dream. His uncle, dad and all... and they have the right. His uncle is an SIA Captain.
Man, the emotions that flowed through me that instant just now while on the phone was more than I could handle. I JUST had to say "Hey man I call u back later." After hanging up. I felt a mixture of emotions that were so strong. Anger, Bitterness, Fear. Here was a man who had everything I had ever wanted telling me this. Man, If he were in my shoes I'd bet he'd be singing the same tune as I am. But don't get me wrong, He's a great friend...Honest and trustworthy. One of my Best Friends ever.
He keeps telling me I have brains. TO be absolutely honest. I RATHER not have this much brains but had the ABILITY and EYESIGHT and HEALTH as he does. He says I can use brains to make lots of money...BUT HE IS ALREADY RICH AND PEOPLE WITH BRAINS DO NOT NECESSARILY MAKE IT! Moreover, I rather fly and take a minimum wage. That's how I feel. Stupid and Naive and Immature as it sounds.
Me? Give up? Lose Faith?
No way. Didn't Jesus say that if one had faith the size of a mustard seed, he could call a tree to uproot itself and throw itself into the sea? I am keeping the faith that God can help my eyesight recover and soon I will hopefully have less than 300 degrees of myopia both eyes. I think that is a reasonable request for a lifelong dream. So I pray and hope that this would happen for me. That I would be able to live my dream because we only live once and I want life to be meaningful. Because all I know is that without this...Life is rather meaningless. Yeah, i know it sounds pretty shallow and narrow. But that is how much I love flying. Because we only live once.
Bottom line. I will not give up no matter the odds. My eyesight will improve enough for me to get into SIA and maybe they'll change the rules in future that will allow me in. But I'll just pray that I can just become an SIA pilot in future. So God Help me. I am keeping the faith. You have done wonders for cousin Jason and others. So Lord please...Help me here. Amen.
