thank you

Feeling slightly better this week. Just a teeny weeny bit, but any improvement's worth celebrating.

I guess what I really needed was to let it all out. Cry my heart out.

Which was what I did yesterday.

Was so miserable over the fact that I fell ill during this period, that I refused to do anything for three days straight. I did try, but just couldn't complete anything.

Faith SMSed me, asking if everything was alright. I replied and my tears started to drop.

Then, she called me. That's when the dam finally broke.

I cried and cried and cried, and she just listened on the other end of the phone.

I choked, I didn't say anything at times, but she was just there in her calm and patient way.

And at the end of our 45 minutes conversation, I felt much better. I wiped my face dry and told myself, NO MORE TEARS.

Back in school today, I could feel the slight difference.

She was the one who saw my tears during the Teaching Assistantship last July. This time round, she's the one who heard me break down.

Thank you, Faith. For always being around in your silent ways. I really appreciate it.

Thank you to other dear friends of mine too, who have been here for me without fail.

June posted a prayer on her blog, which I've learned to utter to myself during morning assembly after morning prayers. For some reason, it always makes me feel better. Thank you gurl for sharing this:


God, I know that I am weak, but You are strong.
Right now, i acknowledge that I need your strength and guidance in getting through this day's lessons smoothly.
Please help me.
thank You.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
