SAD SAD NEWS

We were shocked yesterday morning by a really devastating news.
One of our church friends passed away yesterday morning, and she was 7 months pregnant with her first child. They managed to delivered the baby and the baby is doing well at the moment. Why are we shocked? because she was probably the fittest among all women in the church and she was only 29 yrs old! She was still teaching Sunday school last Sunday and now she is gone :(.

I believe she had lived her life to the fullest and now is in the loving arms of Jesus. But I'm sure this is going to be a super tough journey for her husband and the baby. I really pray for extra strength and comfort for them. For someone who has experienced a loss as well, my heart is broken to hear such a news. I know his loss is far worse than mine, but hey, no matter how big or small, a loss is still a loss.
Now i understand that the sense of loss will never go away, you can only cope better i guess. The memories will still be there no matter how many years have passed.

I hope and pray that he will keep hanging unto Jesus. It's true what my pastor's said "It is better to have disappointment with God than disappointment without God". The principle of "God has a greater purpose in all of these" might be hard to grab at times like this. Just like when i lost my son, it was almost impossible to see and hang on to God's promise. What good things could possibly come out of this? i asked that myself. All i felt was anger and desperation, desperation of an answer.

As we are moving on, God reveals his purpose one by one and when we look back someday, our eyes will be opened to His grand and awesome plan. Just believe that His plan is perfect, so we don't need to worry that our lives will fail.

This sad sad news is a HUGE wake up call for all of us. Sometimes we take people whom we love for granted, we always delay what we want to say to them or we forgot to say sorry for what we've done. We never know God's timing, it could be next year, next month, next week, tomorrow, today, or even this very second while I'm typing this entry. Throw as much love as possible to the people you love while you still have the chance and be thankful for each morning that you have when you wake up.

Bel, i know that we didn't have much chance to talk and know each other more, but i know that you were a great woman of God, a great wife and mom. I believe that you are in the better place with Jesus. So sad that you didn't have a chance to take care of your son, neither did i. If you see Em in heaven, please give him a HUGE kiss from me :). Someday, we will meet again there and serve Him together as we did here
