Over the past few weeks, I have been depressed over some problems. I have been having guilt-trip moments in times when I'm alone. I started to ask myself, and even other people, if I am being a bad daughter. I had trouble sleeping and I started to forget things. It's affecting my work, I started to be less-patient with the students. I even became irritable with Rap and I hate it when I shout at him over little things. I know I made him confused with my mood swings.
As I have written in my reflection, I realized that the task that the my son's school had given was indeed a blessing. Oftentimes, when one is disturbed, God is forgotten. Before these problems, I constantly talked to God before retiring at night. Lately, even my quiet talks with God were disturbed with the sad thoughts that haunted me. Reading the love letter gave me the reassurance that I needed. I feel better now because I realized what I needed to do. That is, to just be His child again and let My Father take good care of me.
Hope you feel the same reassurance as I have felt after reading this wonderful message!
