Woke up really early today for church. Prepared myself and was about 15 minutes early. Thank God the cake for the juniors made it to the church. I was so worried that the chocolate will melt and cause the cake to become some smashed chocolate cake.
I was energetic, but after serving in JP, my energy went down again. The mood of depression came again, and as I was frantically trying to find remedy to overcome this problem, Mike came and talk to me. We talked about teaching stuff. Thank God for temporary diversion of attention. I went to the library almost immediately after the conversation ended, in desperation to divert my attention to God. Borrowed a couple of books: Where Is God When It Hurts by Philip Yancey and Alone With God by John MacArthur Jr.
One thing is certain from Yancey - the more we pour happiness into our agonizing situation, the more helpless we feel. We should face it; but that task alone is overwhelming to me, much less to work on it. I was flipping the pages impatiently and came across Joni's story. As I was imagining how helpless she felt and how she grow to come to terms in accepting herself, I can't help but ask God how my life is going to be like because it seems like I'm standing in a place where my visibility is zero, and yet I need to keep walking. Then 2 Corinthians 5:7 came to me, "For we walk by faith, not by sight." That's when I realized God has started to talk to me, because I'm beginning to open up to Him.
I need to understand that the loss of the relationship is not entirely my fault, even though I am feeling like this big time due to being accused by "him" for not being independent and many more excuses "he" came up with to end this relationship. I just can't let it go, and ended up feeling really angry about what "he" said because it's been bogging in my mind like all the time. I ended up feeling angry with a mutual friend with "him" for 'siding' "him". I understand he doesn't want to be objective against something that is subjective but I guess that pain in me just filter whatever he intended to say out and translate it into something negative, dead negative.
I'm quite glad that I kinda isolate myself today. I don't quite wish to harp on this always. It is not good for me either. Whatever it is, I pray that my bachelor results tomorrow will not be a bad news tomorrow. I'm totally broke to study. My life is crashed, and I really don't expect it to get better anytime soon.
