Here I am. 

Was reading Matthew 26 about Peter's betrayal of Jesus and to realise that the best of us, the so call closest and top three friends of Jesus can betray him and so can I. It's such a hard truth to behold and at the same time, it's very humbling to know that I am fallible. I can fail, I have failed and I will and may fail in the future. 

I have adopted my sister's and my mother's dog. 

It is hard hard hard hard hard work. 

Dogs are undeniably loving creatures; they offer unconditional affection and loyalty that can brighten even the dullest days. But as any seasoned dog owner will tell you, their love comes with responsibilities that require time, effort, and sometimes a little patience.

Sometimes I wonder if I am really up for this? The uncertainty. 

Anyway, I want to be a good dog owner. And so that is my aim for this year. 

I want to learn, fail and try again. 

However, I get defeated when my dog falls sick during my learning phrase. 

I feel guilty for the times when I don't clean his bowls properly or forget to change his water. 

But I am reminded that I have failed and will most likely fail. But I ask the Lord Almighty for the strength and the wisdom to care for him.
