I Fly Away
My dear friends and readers,
You must be wondering why I have not posted for so so long. The reason is I have done a very thorough reflection (during my recent holidays) on my life and my purpose of blogging. Blogging for the last 4 years have achieved its aim in setting my trapped emotion free... the hurts in my childhood days and the hurts as an adult.
Along the way, I have made a number of good online friends whom I could share my thoughts freely. Thank God for all of you! Some of you have a very special place in my heart because of what we have gone through together. I will treasure those memories always. Some of you have told me I have made a positive difference to your lives. I like you to know that you have made a difference to mine too. Thank God for the experiences I have in blogging and the friendship we have developed thus far.
Yes, along the way we may have hurt each other in what we did or said, or what we didn't do or didn't say. Yet God has allowed them to be used to make us stronger and not to tear us down. Our wings may be broken for a while when we are hurt, but this is where we need to let God heal us so that we can fly again. If I have hurt you in anyway, my friends, please pardon me.
I like the book/article, "You Can't Fly With A Broken Wing"by Dick Innes (also the author of daily encouraging devotions for "Daily Encounter"). It has helped me to forgive, to let go, and to fly again. I feel freed! You may download it and read it for yourself.Another article that touched my heart (I felt like crying as I read) is "Born To Fly". My friends, if you have Jesus Christ in your heart, you are born to fly like the eagle, don't be a chicken. ;) If you do not have Jesus Christ in your heart, I urge you to let Him in so you can experience what I have experienced.
Though I may not update my current blogs anymore (no more need to do so) we may still communicate by email or msn messenger, if you like.
May God be with you wherever you are.
Cheers!
Yourfriend, Bee

I am happy to hear that you feel stronger and well enough to journey alone again, but I pray you are not alone for long.
Although, if I recall correctly, this is not the first time you have bid us farewell.
I have enjoyed coming here and will miss you if you disappear. On the other hand, that seems to be the norm for friendships, whether real or virtual - we meet up and journey together for a while and our journey ends as our paths diverge.
I wish you well in the future.
(Now, are you holding out the offer of a different blog with this line: I may not update my current blogs anymore?)
The story of the eagle egg which found itself chicken eggs is quite well know. A lesser known story is that of the chicken egg which found itself among eagle eggs. It was nurtured by the mother eagle until it hatched and the little baby chick grew up among eagles. Then the day came for them to fly and the mother eagle pushed them out of the nest one by one. Each baby eagle would start to plummet to the ground and then instinct would kick in and it would flap its wings and begin to fly. When it finally came for the little chick to be pushed out of the nest, it did not fair so well. It plummeted a thousand feet to the ground where it ... uhm ... made a mess. And the moral is that if you are a chicken and try to soar with eagles ... :-P (recalled from memory from a talk given by Joe Malarkey, "The Worst Motivational Speaker in America").
Hi Richard, thanks for your comment.
I won't walk alone, as our heavenly Father is always walking with me. :)
You are right that I wanted to stop blogging, or rather 'ran away' (moving my blogs) a few times, but I came back after I felt better each time.
My reason for leaving those times and now are quite different. Then I was 'running away' from people whom I do not wish for them to read my blogs due to being hurt by them, etc. Whereas for now, I am stopping because I have completed venting all my trapped life stories. :D As mentioned, blogging was my way of releasing those feelings as I don't know who to share with or who could understand what I had gone through, except God.
Now I have no more story to tell or update as I don't feel hurt or resentful anymore towards anyone. I have come to term with how things have worked out in my life, be they work or relationships related. I have released the people who have hurt me in one way or another instead of holding them as prisoners in my heart, which in turn will make myself a prisoner. This is possible because of the strength given to me by our heavenly Father.
I may or may not start another blog in future. If I do, it will have different objectives altogether. Instead of blogging about my feelings it may focus on encouragements or to discuss about issues in the societies. More technical or more outward looking, you may say.
I am now in the process of backing up all my blogs. Any good free softwares to recommend? ;)
A for the chicken/eagle stories, I think it's better for a chicken to try to be an eagle then the other way round. At least the chicken has tried... never try you'll never know right? Even if the chicken has failed to be an eagale, it might be a better chicken then the rest of the chicken. :P
