Currently listening to :
Have I ever mentioned here that I really do love Jayesslee!?
Never in my life thought I would actually attend church every Sunday, but now I do.
I do it because I love it. I love going to church, I love the positive energy in church, I love how I step out from church feeling refreshed every Sunday. It's not something that I've been doing a lot, in fact I just started going early May.
To be honest, I probably have only 2% of knowledge on what Christianity is, but I am learning.
I remembered I wrote in April that April gave a lot of shit to my friends. Sad things happened, a lot of mistakes were made. I secretly hope that May wouldn't be harsh on me because when I was in college, Ms. T used to tell me that it's okay not to be okay because there will be a month that she'll be in shit and there will be another where I will be. Obviously I was hoping for the best then, but I guess what's to come, will come.
There are things that I cannot change, the past that cannot be rectified, things that I have done and said, misunderstandings that I do not know how to deal with, knots and ties that have gone too deep for me to untie everything. I revert to praying. I pray and have faith in the Lord that things will be okay. Have faith in Him that if I try my best to do what I can, He will do what I cannot do. This has been my pillar of strength for the entire month. Somehow I know I can only do what I can, and leave the rest to Him.
I believe He has plans for me. I believe He has laid paths for me. I believe they are not meant to be smooth because it is when I fall, I learn. I thought I could have done better than this, I thought I had the strength and the wisdom to untie all knots, I thought I could foresee things. In fact, I couldn't. I couldn't. I couldn't to the extent that I can only watch things falling apart.
Yes I am angry. I thought I tried, but I didn't try my best. I didn't control my emotions. I wasn't strong enough. I tried all I can to save up all the broken pieces, but I ended up hurting more people. That is perhaps one of the most stupid things I could have done. To think that I had the strength to do things I couldn't do.
My only comfort is, things will all be okay one day. This is but another challenge that I have to face in London. It's not the first, definitely not the last. If this is the hardest hurdle that I have to cross, I will be thankful. Really thankful, because after all, every thing will come to an end one day anyway. Might take years, but it'll end regardless.
Until then, I will continue to pray and have faith. Trust and faith need to be earned and appreciated. No one said they are easy to come by. Just maybe, we need to hang in here a little longer. Just a little longer before things unfold. I can do that. For all the blessings that God has blessed me with, I can wait a little longer and hang in here to see what His plans really are.
Someone told me it is during the hardest times when people decided to walk away from God, thinking how and why would He create such hurdles for us if He really love us. But no, I don't think He would ever turn away from us just because He made our lives difficult. I think the hurdles are there because of the options that I have made in the past, and for every decision made, there is a consequence to bear with, good or bad. If it is good, I thank Him for guiding me to making the right decision. If it is bad, I thank Him for making me learn, that there's a price to pay and at times, strength and wisdom come from experiences. More often than not, the most horrible nightmares give the most lessons.
It's always the darkest before dawn, isn't it? =) I'm sure I can do this. This might after all, turn out to be the best blessing in disguise!
Have a very blessed week ahead every one! If you are having a bad day too, perhaps you can deposit some Faith in God! I'm sure He has time for all of us. =)
Now, 10,000-word opinions, let's see how fast I can write before Thursday, 6pm. O_o
ps: not sure if I'm liking the new blogger layout or hating it. =/
