Yes, that's right. Movember. I did it last year and I wasn't even sick. When you all stop laughing...it's for a good cause. Yes, this asian man, who recently lost all his hair is not growing it wherever he can. Mostly the upper lip. Here is some info.

in a nutshell, its for prostate cancer. So, I will be taking pictures and I know it won't look like I am involved until about week 3 and yes, I will take all the "you got some dirt on your lip" jokes. If you want to support the cause...please email me or text me

my goal is to raise more money than the other asian at work.
Probably time for a heath update. Everyone at work is telling me that I am working too many hours. I am trying to balance. Made it home for dinner twice this week. The crying of Rhys before preschool has stopped. Life has a semblance of normalcy. Of course there is another bloodtest next week and another followup checkup at the end of November but I am refusing to live life from one checkup to another. One of my favorite "suffering" verses in the bible is found in the book of Job
Naked I come from the womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, may the name of the Lord be praised. Job 1 :21
When I was younger, I looked at this verse in admiration. Job did have everything taken away from him and yet his faith didn't waiver. I always thought it would be cool to be that faithful. Many years later, I am now experiencing this verse in a much different place. My daily struggle of putting my faith in God for not only my health but my family's well being doesn't even come close to what Job faced but I get a glimpse. Everytime I feel an ache in my back and the thoughts of the cancer returning enter my brain. It gives me an opportunity to trust God with my life all over again. I am reminded constantly for a reason...the reasons for God's goodness, mercy and grace.
Yes there is another blog...urbanruleoflife.blogspot.com
