before street E!
midnight at orchard!
okay this is going to be really short since im tired. but today was a really special day for me! firstly, street evangelism was special.
Lord I pray they will call!
The highlight of today however, was going out for lunch at Swenson's with Aunty Doris and her lovely brood of children which happen to be my godbrother and godsister Justin and Amanda! Aunty Doris is soo nice.. She really touches my heart in very special ways! Aunty Doris if you're reading this, a big hug to you! <3
into this earth i was born naked. from this earth i will depart naked.
Jesus help me surrender all that I am unto You.
is it true that when we come to face the end of life that we truly treasure what we have been given? that we truly treasure something only when it is gone? reading the blog of someone who just lost a precious someone her entire world was dependent upon really broke my heart. a person that was once always present in her daily life suddenly disappeared without any word of warning, with things left unsaid and undone, memories still haunting.
life before that fateful day was absolutely ordinary, like you and me, with hopes of a new future together with someone she loved with her whole life. then one day, Jesus decided it was time for him to go home.
i wonder what thoughts ran through his mind when he knew his end was here and that he would never be able to tell her he was leaving. scarily, if i were him, i would die heartbroken that my loved ones would have to struggle through life never being able to say goodbye.
i can't imagine if someone i loved so dearly was taken away from me all of a sudden without any preparation of any warning at all. precious moments i'd spent would only make me cry harder even though those were beautiful times. even though he was the one that left, she is the one left to shoulder all the heartbreak, all the painful times, all her tears, alone.
i think time might be able to heal all wounds, even wounds of failure or injustice, but they would never completely heal the pain of losing the person you have loved your entire life especially since we tend to think that he/she would be always present.
i pray for this girl, for what she has to go through is not easy, its not easy at all...
i would never be able to survive if i was put in that position.
and though living in today's society means we are always robbed of the freedom of being able to spend it with things that matter the most, i promise, i wont let it rob me of my life. success might be important, but what does it matter if no one is there to share the moment with you?
right now, hey you, listen up: i love you each and everyday.

fly high and free.
before street E!
