This week has been a little tumultuous, to say the least. One radio interview, one therapy session, one newspaper interview, one blow from a malicious source, one birthday past, one rush to get the website rolled out, and studying daily to prepare for my final exams, and...
... the book launch is tomorrow.
I will be sharing about my journey to recovery to an audience of people who may be struggling with this, and their friends and family.
This is a milestone. When people ask me where I am now in recovery, I tell them I am fully recovered. Nonetheless, this does not mean I am perfect. Life, is a continuous journey, and I'm still redisovering new things about myself every day.
But I'm thankful, that God is teaching me I don't have to go through this alone. I used to think: I have to sort myself out before I'm worthy enough to give a speech, or do a book launch, or enter a relationship. Now, I am learning, that it is precisely our inadequacies which take away our pride of self-sufficiency and give us enough humility to draw our daily strength from God.
Till today, I still have the tendency to over-critique myself, heh.
But nobody's perfect. Really.
And it's okay :)
And I'm just thankful too, that God has His way of reaching out to us, showing us how He is always in control, however people try to put us down, or use us for their own agendas. It helps to remember, that we belong to Him, and not to man's wicked plans. It helps to remember, that with big dreams, come big obstacles. And it helps to remember, that God does not see us as achievers and do-ers, as much as He sees us as precious children, learning life lessons along the way.
So here's to turning 24, and to launching my next book.
Here's to launching my new site, with thanks to Joseph for initiating this idea. Thank you for walking with me.
Here's introducing you to this new space- enjoy http://www.kitesong.sg/.
