I wanted to commemorate my first Labour's Day in my entire life by being un-laborous i.e. rest. I needed it so badly and I am glad that I have it.
It has been a year. A year of leaving university. The first day I stepped into working life (although as an intern) was 3rd May. Much has changed in this one year. And I am still transiting and adapting to my life as a young working adult. To be very honest, I struggle a lot. I know I am not the same Beatrice a year ago but do I like the Beat now? I haven't decided that part yet. But that is the cruel truth about life and growing up. It is painful but necessary. Growing up also mean change. Values, friends, priorities, belief system etc.. And to some extent, I do not like the change I am experiencing right now. But, then again, without change, without growing up, I will be akin to stagnant water. In science, stagnant river will cause eutrophication and it is toxic to the whole river body. Resistance to change is toxic to my life. I just have to accept this hard truth.
I have made a choice. I will grow up and go through this transition happily! His grace is sufficient for me. I am thankful that Jo came to my house to talk to me. I just realised after talking to her how negative and realistic I have become especially this few months. Wow. I shall reject that spirit! And God loves me so much to send Melia to call me to encourage me too =) Really a divine appointment.
One thing I know for sure now, I am not going through this alone. Others are too. So yeah, beat just buck up and go through this season well, with God. He said I am more than a conqueror! So, why am I acting like a defeated and wounded soldier? Put on the armour and fight! When I was a baby, I drank milk but when I was a child, I have moved on to solid food and discovered the beauty of solid food. Now that I am older, I started trying hot spicy food and enjoyed every single bit of it. So now is my season of learning to eat spicy food. Once I overcome this, I know I will love and enjoy every taste of it! Just need to persevere.
Chances come for those who are ready.
When you are alone, it is then you lean to God and grow up with God. Solid relationship and total reliance. Maybe this is the season for me - without friends or outside influence. Just me and Him, noone else.
