Tough Love?

A colleague sent this email today.

Trials and Pain: Piles of Ashes
Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. --Hebrews 12:11
If God has singled you out to be a special object of His grace you may expect Him to honor you with stricter discipline and greater suffering than less favored ones are called upon to endure....
If God sets out to make you an unusual Christian He is not likely to be as gentle as He is usually pictured by the popular teachers. A sculptor does not use a manicure set to reduce the rude, unshapely marble to a thing of beauty. The saw, the hammer and the chisel are cruel tools, but without them the rough stone must remain forever formless and unbeautiful.
To do His supreme work of grace within you He will take from your heart everything you love most. Everything you trust in will go from you. Piles of ashes will lie where your most precious treasures used to be. That Incredible Christian, pp. 122-124

It made me cry but yet at the same time, I can’t help thinking that I am deluding myself…that God probably doesn’t think that my suffering is a big deal and He’s doesn’t really have a special plan for my life. Bcoz it really isn’t a big deal..other ppl have gone through worse..and here I am complaining…

yet the despair is real.

all i want for christmas is to go home.

where is the joy?

now that I am here…I dunno what to say.

wanted to shout out how frustrated I feel…how much I dislike myself for having to be civil to this person that I absolutely disliked and who stabbed me in the back not too long ago. you could call it professionalism. I call it hypocrisy. To maintain the surface peace and harmony, I have to do something that I hate myself for. It’s not about being humble, it’s about how much I detest the “hi-bye” politics,  the hypocrisy and now I am also caught up in this.

damn sian

am currently in the low part of the cycle. and it sux.

and i really dislike hanging out with people who are high I. I honestly think the hurts from the last couple of years have permanently left its mark on the relationship and it hurts. I suppose one of the reasons why I want to leave the school is bcoz I am not happy. i am friendless! hahah. I dun fit in anyway. I am actually amazed at my ability to fake it. To be able to happily hehe haha mix with anyone but deep inside, I dun feel like I can really connect or trust anyone. Trust also in terms of believing they will be there for me when I really need help. But so far, most times, I have been disappointed.

sure the marking sux and the students are irritating… but I’m tired of all the fake brightness going on in the staffroom too. Is there anyone real out there? Is there anyone willing to walk with me in this season and for once not talk about clothes and fashion? Is there someone who will listen to what I have to say instead of forever jabbering on and on and on?

and it doesn’t help that I feel stupid all the time. my memory really sux… and I can’t seem to retain much stuff… I feel like I’m in a daze all the time…I know this is supposed to be part of BD though I dun understand why…but I honestly feel like a big fat DUMB DUMB.

so what am I doing in this school? Lord, I need something to hold on to. The seminar in the last couple of days was good and inspires me to do stuff… but I have no mood now… I am excited about student leadership but when other things start coming my way, I dun even get to do much about it. But I need something to hold on to. Sure I can continue to stay on…but there is no joy. No joy at all. Please Lord, give me the joy that I need if You want me to stay on. Or open a door for me outside.

I don’t want to give up because things are not going my way. But I really need that joy Lord. I really need something to hold on to.

sometimes i really struggle with the injustices of it all. the unfairness of life. but i recognise that I am deeply blessed and there is nothing nothing nothing more precious than being the beloved daughter of my Heavenly Father. I guess the sense of betrayal sometimes come when I seem to get the suckier end of things compared to other christians. But… I will remember the bible says that God delights in using the little things of this world…so okie, will hold on to that..

sighz… I badly badly badly need a personal retreat cum revival right now.

You quiet me with Your love (Klaus)

Don’t know how to describe how I am feeling right now… how do you describe this pain that is in my heart.. it’s beyond description and it hits without warning…

i have given up explaining my disorder and issues to the ppl around me, am tired of explaining something beyond their understanding. Perhaps if it was plain old depression, it may not be that bad… coz I thank God that in recent years, the landscape in Singapore has been changing, and ppl are beginning to understand that… but it’s more than that….

oh the despair… the fear…

but yet I know that in all of these, God is in control. So now I am just trusting in Him. I know this moment will eventually pass. And God will still remain the same.

Chia just sent me a song and the verse goes:

You took my pain and carried Your cross. You kept all my tear drops and shed them like Yours. You felt all my grief on Calvary’s hill. Your heart was so broken, now I can be healed.

God, You are just amazing. Beyond amazing. You know what I am feeling. You know just what I need. Thank you for loving me. Thank you Daddy for loving me so much… for loving me even when I am so shitty and crappy. Thank you for Your patience towards me. Thank you Daddy.
