Loss

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want...

Life is unpredictable, as Forest Gump said, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” I am somewhat blessed as I experience loss considerably late in life. My lovely grandma passed away late last month and everyone is sad but we know she’s with the Lord. She lived a full life... a woman of faith, independent, strong, cool and smart... she lived to see four generations under one roof... she didn’t suffer and she remained faithful to Christ till the end... she was 89 years old... She’ll be dearly missed.

On an unrelated matter, I so totally fell in love with Nick Vujicic! A charming man of faith... it didn’t matter that he’s without limbs... I liked something he said... it goes something like this... pray for what you want... and wait for it... it’ll be on god’s timing not yours... but if you don’t get what you prayed for... it’s ok... coz you can be certain that at god’s timing, He has something even better for you... *grin* I can hear single ladies shouting amen... this is true, not just in the aspect of relationship, but for all parts of life... Stormie Omartian wrote this in one of her books, “Prayer is a privilege that is always ours, but the power in prayer is always His. Without God, we can't do it. Without us, God won't do it.”

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Rom 8:28)
