Indeed, how God speaks to us at one point in our journey is different in each season.
Tonight I came back to this blog, trying to go back to that child like girl I once was, dreaming without borders.. And dreaming if there is a guy that would sing musical duets with me, love God and seeks God together, and.. just complementary and yet just right.
Haha. Who knows what God has planned?

I'm sorry, to be thinking of all this, during the passing of a family member.
I really question myself how much you love me.
Do I need to put up with this? Do I deserve much more?
I know, the Bible lists an entire list of what love is.
I don't know if I can do it.
I don't know if I am able to just give all my life.
I don't know if I can be unselfish in love.
God help me; this really hurts.
-----
I know this sounds utterly selfish. But after all the birthdays I've planned, why can't I see you planning my 21st for me? Am I to wait for the surprise, or be disappointed, yet again?
Am I even right, to expect anything?

Today we mourn for the loss of Uncle Winston; although we’ve only met a few times, gatherings at his place has always been a joy, and one of the most comfortable family functions at wy’s. He has the open, welcoming personality that does not fail to charm others, and his passing really came as a shock.
Ecclesiastes 7
1 A good name is better than fine perfume,
and the day of death better than the day of birth.
2 It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
for death is the destiny of everyone;
the living should take this to heart.
3 Frustration is better than laughter,
because a sad face is good for the heart.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
During today’s service, the pastor raised an analogy. He said that humans at a Christian wake are like caterpillars; they mourn for the death of a loved one. But, the person has already turned into a butterfly and is flying over them, and this is something that the caterpillars cannot phantom. And the exception with this analogy is that this butterfly lives forever, in heaven.
And gathering at Uncle Winston’s wake, his sudden departure from us reminds us of this undeniable truth—Life is short, Death is sure, Eternity awaits us. Would we be ready for God, if we were taken so suddenly?
-----
I thought about the people closer to me. What would I do, if this happened to someone close to me? I looked at Aunt Patsy and Cherie hugging each other at the end of the service, after everyone had given them their condolences, and my heart just went out to them. What pain and grief they must be in now.
Who thought others to how to hold a wake? How do you manage all those people, when you are hanging on a string inside, ready to collapse at any moment?
God, give them strength, and take their sorrow away. Pray we live life to the fullest and not forget God, as
Life is short, Death is sure, Eternity awaits us.

a letter and a letter on a string
will hold forever humanity spellbound
Words
possession of the beggar and the king
everybody, everyday
you and I, we all can say
Words
regarded as a complicated tool
created by man, implicated by mankind
Words
obsession of the genius and the fool
everybody, everyday,
everywhere and everyway
Words!
Find them, you can use them
Say them, you can hear them
Write them, you can read them
Love them, fear them
Words
transmitted as we're fitted from the start
received by all and we're sentenced to a life with
Words
impression of the stupid and the smart
everybody, everyday
you and I, we all can say
Words
inside your head can come alive as they're said
softly, loudly, modestly or proudly
Words
expression by the living and the dead
everybody, everyday
everywhere and everyway
Words!
Find them, you can use them
Say them, you can hear them
Write them, you can read them
Love them, fear them

Drip, drop, I need just one good cry,
So let it rain, don't stop, cause if it don't I die. (x2)
So how can you forgive me
After all the things I've done.
How can you still talk with me
Like we've only just begun
I'm thinking bout' the days I let you down,
I could of made you smile, so many time I fooled around.
What kind of man am I
I ain't supposed to cry
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, the rain is pouring down
(On and on and on)
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, the storm is all around.
Let it rain, Let it rain, Let it rain, let it rain, the rain is in my eyes.
Let it rain, Let it rain, let it rain, until this rain becomes a good cry
Drip, drop, I need just one good cry,
So let it rain, don't stop, cause if it don't I die. (x2)
It's another if you fall.
I fall so much I wonder,
Why you deal with me at all.
I fall behind you but then you wait for me
I try to prove my love sometimes, but it's not faithfully.
I'm so unworthy,
I'll be crying in my sleep, tossing turning in your deep....love.
(On and on and on)
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, the storm is all around.
Let it rain, Let it rain, Let it rain, let it rain, the rain is in my eyes.
Let it rain, Let it rain, let it rain, until this rain becomes a good cry
Drip, drop, I need just one good cry,
So let it rain, don't stop, cause if it don't I die. (x2)
(On and on and on)
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, the storm is all around.
Let it rain, Let it rain, Let it rain, let it rain, the rain is in my eyes.
Let it rain, Let it rain, let it rain, until this rain becomes a good cry
Drip, drop, I need just one good cry,
So let it rain, don't stop, cause if it don't I die. (x2)
