This morning wasn't an easy morning for me to get up. I just got back from Malaysia, I had a tiring journey followed by an emotional night, I woke up not only greeted by the cold but also the oh-so-painful first day of period pain. My body felt empty. As if I had no energy at all to even lift a finger. All I wanted was to stay in bed for as long as I can and just, pardon me for the lack of a better word, "die" on my bed for the day. But of course, God has other plans for me, no way He will allow that to happen given that my first paper is in 4 days..
What did God sent me?
A nice, small, little red spot on my newly changed sheets.... -_______________________-"
So I got up. I got up thinking, "God won't put me through something I can handle. He knows I can get up and handle this little red thing and get on with my day.. Okayyyyyy, fiiineeeee, I'll get up...". & I did. I cleaned the sheets and I moved on from my "I don't wanna do anything"-ness and proceeded to bug Banana. By the end of the day I did some of my reading, got some groceries, changed my sheets after doing laundry and I finalised my post-exam travel plans. It may not be as productive as it should have, but considering all I wanted to do in the morning was to sleep my day away, I think it was a huge turn of events.
So here's a little reminder to whosever still reading & not yet grossed out by the TMI shared: God will never ever put you through to something He knows you can't handle.
If you're having a bad day or a bad time, take a deep breath, a tell yourself over and over again: It's okayyyyy, God will never put you through something you can't handle. God gave me this means He knows I can deal with this and because He knows I can, He believes I can, it means I CAN. I have every power, every energy, every thing needed in me to go through this.
So pull yourself up/get up, you wipe the tears of your face (or in my case you throw away your duvet and Piboo as far as possible), and you deal with the unpleasant thing you have to deal with (in my case it involved taking the sheets off and doing laundry). I mean, GOD, He who created everything in this world, believes in you. If that does not makes you feel empowered, I have no idea what else will.
