A New Start?

I did something very brave today, or at least I think it is. I deleted J's number from my contact list in my handphone. Took a lot out of me but I finally did it. Not for the first time though. I deleted it once not too long ago. When I realised that I still had J's number under the call list, I immediately restored the number. Not this time though. I was very sure that J's number's not in any list on my phone. So I guess its gone for good. Think it took a lot out of me as well when I deleted all J's smses. Though I have deleted them for quite some time now, snippets of it still linger in my mind. 'The other J', 'Good night', 'I am glad that you spoke to your dad', ...... All the feelings associated with the words still linger around as well.

It's kind of funny. I knew all along that the chances of J ever contacting me again is zilch or at least close to it yet I refused to delete away J's contacts. It's as if it gives me a glimmer of hope leaving the number around somewhere. Anyway, practically all means of contacting J is gone. J is pretty much history, more so physically than mentally and emotionally. As I was ending the day at work, was feeling super lonely again. Came back feeling depressed. Good thing I managed to make progress in my piano so that took away some attention. Actually I can remember a mandarin song that very much fits what I was feeling not too long ago. It was sung by 张惠妹. The title is called 真實.



 Somehow the lyrics seem to fit very much my feelings. Anyway, I am feeling very much better now, so I shall not go in that direction anymore. Till the next time,......

  1. Hi Jonah,
    Thanks for all the honest sharing. And yes, all the verses that simply lifts my soul up while we are waiting for God.. I think like David and Joseph who was so close to His dream of being King, yet was again and again brought to the lowest pit.

    And i think it is there we meet the Lord :)
    I enjoy your candid response.. because it resembles so much of mine.. and yes.. the process of deleting the person number requires courage...

    i did it a few times.. because i retrieve a few times... hope i dun memorise it...

    glad to see that God is in the midst of your mess.. though many a times , it's in times like this, we grow closer to God..

    Yes in our very messiness.. I'm still in my own mess..and yes, we are not alone...though i thought of leaving my church a few times.. i know the Lord stops me :)

    I was reading Isaiah 55:8,9
    My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not My ways.. for as the heavens higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts your thoughts.

    Enjoy listening to the Zhi Shi.. I think the lyrics speaks so much within my heart.. so simple.. thanks for blessing me with your blog..

    Jia you brother :)
