Feelings aside...

Hi people, how's it been? Sorry, it's been awhile...had a pretty busy month (last month i mean, ^_^ ). This month, on the other hand, has been more of bitter/sweet than anything else, or should i say some events that occurred this month are sadness provoking???...whatever really :p.

Anyways, i lost a very dear friend on the 14th and it bruised me badly...at first. I was very willing to give into the anger, pain and overwhelming sadness that wanted to envelope me, in fact, i kinda DID give in for a short while, till i realized that over prolonged mourning for my darling friend and questioning God in anger...was and IS NOT the answer. Doing that would only please the devil, and that isn't my area of expertise ;), so here's what i've learnt; when we're hit hard with very unexpected and unpleasant occurrences or circumstances, be them humiliating, painful, tragic or whatever, the more we focus on the hurt and the negative aspects of the situation, the larger and more intense it becomes. God never said we wouldn't experience pain or terrible events...He DID promise however, to be right there to help us through them.

My comfort and peace lie in the fact that i KNOW for certain where my buddy is. He made no attempt to hide his passion for JESUS and THAT is what made his departure worth mourning, his life worth living and his name worth remembering. He has accomplished his mission...i only pray we all stay focused on the master's plan for our own lives and fulfill ours as well.

This might not be the most exciting of posts, but i'm far from sad. He's in the best place in existence, i thank God for the blessing he was and i hope this inspires everyone reading, as it has me, to take life and what we do with it very seriously...because believe it or not, the journey doesn't end here..and i BETTER be seeing ya'll UP there on the other side. O:) Take care of you folks.
