Saturday, January 14
ninth january twenty twelve.

a friend went home to be with the Lord.
heart attack.
while preparing to go to work.
in her home's toilet, and there her life ended.
thirty six years old.

that was again a strong and sober reminder that life is short.
people come. people go.
when will it be my turn?
or when will my loved ones go?
it's scary to know that as i'm typing this, that i could just get a heart attack and die now.
our lives are so fragile.

to those who believe in Jesus.
we can cry with hope.
we can say goodbye with hope.
for we know that it's not the end.
what about those without Jesus...?

a friend came back to the Lord.
and i'm humbled to know that i wasn't at all a part to play in it.
it's fully and truly by God's grace.

grace, a friend in my department.
God put her there to remind me that His grace is sufficient.
joy, a friend in my department.
God put her there to remind me to have joy in all that i do.

east timor.
i'm back.
it seemed like it was months that i was there.
processing begun quite a while ago.
not sure if it has ended.

friends and homes go together.
stayover at friend's home.
talking, sharing, loving, listening, praying.
beautiful.
a comfortable place to be truthful.
to share deeply.
and to know that there's trust between friends.

mentos.

friends and holidays go together.
looking forward to a holiday with friends.

it's been a tough few days at work.
but God always shows me that He is sufficient.
she said.
this is part of His work in us.
it's only gonna get tougher.
but that's where we'll learn to find Him.
His grace. His strength. His peace. His joy and manna for each day.
indeed.

hello kitty sweets to prevent motion sickness.
lovely gift.

beautiful tapes.
heart shaped and clouds design.

Lord, please comfort her.
she's using the iphone cover she gave.
she's feeling regretful for missing the gathering.
Lord, be her comfort.

Lord, i trust You.
to keep waiting in hope and anticipation.
You're a God who knows best. (:
