Looking back... and what’s up now...
I was trying to search the song lyrics “Even in the dark” that I wrote in the blog and then I read some of the old posts. It made me realised how much I’ve changed from a person who yearns for love and yearns for the Lord to a person who is married to K on 12 nov 2016 but loved herself more than anyone else.
Reading my old post reminds me how much I’m lacking this reflective view of the way I’m living. I’ve allowed myself to drift into the selfish mindset of being just me. Excuses of busy day at work and at a life stage of establishing a family to cover up my total laziness.
I’ve suffered a blight ovum in Dec 2016.. I’ve prayed many times for a gift from God - a child. And I had those two lines appearing on the hcg test kit after trying for about 8 months. 8 weeks before the diagnosis of blight ovum - baby not formed at all, I prayed for the gift within me every night, telling God how thankful I am and to keep the baby safe and healthy. It ended up being a empty gift box.
I’m no longer the nurse who takes good care of patients - which I really missing it ALOT. I’m currently working as an infection control nurse who tries to keep all the patients in the hospital safe from all sorts of pathogenic microorganisms. It was interesting but it’s not my passion. This job allows me to have a 8 to 5 working hours, allowing me to attend church regularly.
But.. though I’m in church more regular than years back, my heart is not aligned with Christ. Something is wrong with me. And today, I realised that it’s that reflective heart towards my life went missing. I have been moving on day by day without reflecting on myself and my life seriously.
I ended my last post in Sep 2013, and for the past few years since 2014, I’ve been focusing on my different life stages.. in a relationship stage, job change, getting married, establishing a family but not my Christian life.
Many things changed. I’m no longer actively making relationships with my church friends, it feels so difficult to blend in. I’m losing stories to tell that enriches my life compared to before. I’m no longer that person I used to be.
I miss her. The old me.
But it’s not late to create the new me.
