I'm quite overwhelmed with peace now. not sure if it will last. but it is an assuring peace, and i do hope you would feel it too. (:
I wrote a letter today. and in that letter purged all that I ever wanted to say but was unable to. recalling the stories of people who wrote and wrote and then crushed their papers to deal with overwhelming emotions - i did that today, at a little bench somewhere near my math lesson. i didn't crush the paper though, perhaps it was too precious to be crushed, and perhaps it would find its way to its final destination soon. soon. as soon as you're ready God. (:
thanks Lord. for bringing me through so far. it's been a long ride. really. and i'm not sure where it's going to end, and how it's going to end - but at least i know i have you, and i have those whom you have given me to love - and that truly truly is enough.
and for those of you out there, struggling with problems and emotions, do consider this catharsis, this purge, and let it all out somewhere. it feels much better. and don't forget - that at the very end, it's God you must find comfort in.
Jia He got a bible today. Praise the Lord! John Wong's getting closer to picking up that key and unlocking the bolted lock (Kenneth imagery here). Hallelujah!
and of course. the letter's getting closer to its destination. (:
