“It means you’ve Recovered. We’re discharging you, that’s what. I see a grown-up young woman before me, and I’m excited for you.”
So what does this mean.
It means I’ve struggled, grown, matured, and overcome. It means God kept His promise, it means He heals, it means He makes everything beautiful in His time. It means that He has a purpose for everything.
It doesn’t mean I’ve reached Perfection, but it does mean I’ve reached Acceptance, and can walk everyday in deeper humility, and self-awareness. It doesn’t mean I can put aside what I’ve learnt, but it does mean applying it every day, and making sure I keep my eyes on God. It doesn’t mean I’ve fully arrived (who has?), but it does mean God has been and will be with me till the end of this long pilgrimage we call Life.
It means what God broke, He broke in order to heal; what He destroyed, He destroyed in order to rebuild; what He imprisoned, He imprisoned to chasten, discipline, purify, love and finally,
Sweet Lord, I’ve been waiting so long for this day.
Thank you for walking with me on this journey.
” For He bruises, but He binds up;
He wounds, but His hands make whole.”
-Job 5:18
“Therefore, if God makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
– John 8:36

Dear Wai Jia,
This is indeed a day of rejoicing…I am so happy for you…and I thank the LORD for creating such a sweet and beautiful spirit in you. You have been a source of great encouragement to one and many as you shared so authentically from within your heart – fears and struggles that many would rather bury…yet by confronting them and showing how you have grown from strength to strength in the LORD, you have portrayed the love and power of God in setting us free…when we stop struggling and start surrendering…
I know that the LORD has wonderful plans for you…know that you are beautifully and wonderfully created by God…and that He has GREAT plans for you…
I do look forward to hearing how He will use you as His instrument to minister to His people…
Thanks so much for sharing your journey…and indeed the discharge is a signpost that you have summitted one mountain…and do tarry and rest and take in the beauty…
Go from strength to strength in the LORD, my dear girl…
Blessings…
