My Source of Strength

”Doc do you cry?”

I was taken aback

Um… yeah

He could see I was surprised at the question

We were discussing life… burden of responsibility and coping tips

“Do you cry? Im just asking cos seems you got it all put together… like you joyful!”

Oh mehn..

Yes I do

I shared my faith in Jesus as a source of strength

Shared few proofs of imperfection and how we are all on a journey to becoming better

“It’s good to know doc”

“That you are real!”

“You know like… you cry too!”

I’m real ladies and gentlemen!

This conversation really had me thinking … had to share!

If you are looking a primary care doctor who is thorough, passionate and caring and who is real and cries occasionally? I. Am. She.

In health,

Dr. Olabintan
