September 2010. This has been the month that gave me several heartaches, betrayals, and lessons. It has been the month that I got the answer to my prayer for God to take away relationships that is harmful for me. It has been the month that I learned who my real friends were, as well as who the fake ones and the liars were. It has been the month that I was betrayed by the person I thought I could trust. It was the month when a close friend (or so I thought) ruined my reputation in the company where I used to work because I caught her red-handedly flirting with my then boyfriend. It has been the month when I finally realized that the person I thought I liked wasn't really into me, but was just using me. It was the month when I painfully learned how to be humble before God and to just let go of all the things that is causing me so much pain. It was the month when God showed me that He still loves me despite my rebellious ways. It was when He spoke to me day by day that He will still be there even if I feel that everyone has betrayed me. It was the month that He assured me that I could entrust all my worries and my pain to Him, only if I trust Him. It was the month that I learned how strong I really was in spite of all the bad things that have happened to me. It was the month that I learned that I should not trust anyone so easily – and that trust should be earned. It was the month that I learned how to fight for what I want and to say what I really feel. It was the month that I had to learn the hard way how to swallow my pride and to humbly admit that I have also made mistakes – stupid mistakes, at that.
I learned so much from this month in 2010. I am the person I am now because of all the things that have happened to me in the past. I know that I can make mistakes again, but I also know that I am strong and I will rise up again each time I fall.
