Unwanted Journey
What do you have in mind when you read the tittle of this post? Another drama from me, the drama queen? Hehe…sorry guys, but this time I’ll disappoint you since what I’m going to write here is much further than just a drama.
I got the idea when I looked at one of my friend’s Friendster profile. Not necessarily discussing who he is, where he is, what he’s doing or blah…blah…blah…, what has bothered me the most is his statement about his own life.
I know he’s been through so many bad times, even the worst, ever. He’s been involved in an undesired job, unexpected surroundings, inconvenient environment, until he feels like he’s been trapped in what so called "unwanted journey".
Then suddenly I really want to look back at my own journey. I’ve been through so many ups and downs, too. Being public enemy, got fired, brokenhearted so many times, had to work in Papua, living separated from my beloved husband, family, and friends, even being an unwanted household in my own uncle’s house, I’ve been through all of these. But then, hey, there must be a reason why I should experience those things…Have you ever thought that you are meant to be like that…? ‘Cause I think so…
I know sometimes it’s difficult to see the best part of something unwanted. But we should remember one thing, that our lives are in God’s hand actually…Sometimes we think that we really know what’s best for us, that we’re good at this, we’re meant to be like that, we’re supposed to have this, and blah…blah…blah…but hey, something we think the best sometimes is not that best in God’s perspective…
Just like what I’ve said before, there must be a reason why we’re experiencing these A-Z phases of life. For me, despite the fact that I could be stronger, at least I could learn to be grateful…
Thanks, God…
