Hi. I think, somehow, God answered me, through a NON-CHRISTIAN BOOK that was rented from a bookstore out of impulse. It is written by the Author of “Ps : i love you”. Somewhere, between the pages, the narrator of the story, Tamara, a 16 year old girl (Often mistaken as 17 by others) described her encounter with a bluebottle. (For those of you who’s completely clueless, it’s a kind of fly) . She said she saw a blue bottle fly and it was whamming itself against the Glass window. It was trying to fly out of the apartment of course, and most probably, it was wondering ” How is it possible that i can’t leave the same way i entered?” However, little did the fly know, and if it flew up just a few more centimetres, it would have been freed as there were openings above the window which was where it came from. Tamara, obviously, pitied the bluebottle and decided to help it by using her finger tips to guide it up the window, but it merely flew away. & then back to whamming itself against the window repeatedly, unaware that continual whamming of head against window pane would lead to a serious case of internal bleeding. Then Tamara thought to herself, and she started to hate God for not providing for her needs and her mum’s . [I forgot to fill you in, but Tamara used to be a spoilt brat.However, after her dad committed suicide with whisky and pills , both mother and daughter were nothing but ruins . Empty soul-less shells. ] Then Tamara came to a realisation that maybe, just maybe, life wasn’t really such a hell-hole. She could very well be exactly like the bluebottle, helplessly trying to get out from the way it thought it came in from. God, being the hand she used to guide the bluebottle, but it just flew away . Afraid to follow the hand thinking it meant harm and was there to misguide it.
Maybe , i am the bluebottle. Maybe , there was always a hand, I however, being the coward that i am, have failed to let it guide me. Have failed to let my guard down, have failed to trust in ANYONE, not even myself. This bugs me further, because , all in all, failing alot of things really means that i am a failure but am still loved by someone whom i may not have ever trusted. Ever. I don’t know. I haven’t found the guts to trust him yet. Trusting and believing are afterall 2 different things altogether. Sigh.
God is real. Or so, they say.
Help me trust in you again, Jesus.
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power, of love and of discipline.


School’s Shit.
