Its out in the papers today. Today's "today" newspaper and the straits times home section 3rd page. Just read it.
It just happened like that. Shocking. Just makes you remember how frail life is. Seriously, the next thing i know, something might happen. Touch Wood. But seriously? Is life not fragile. So so brittle.
I am reminded of the people around me. The pple that i love. The saddest thing could be that we never did get to say things like "i love you dad" and "i love you mum" or nething to the pple that mean so much to us. Sad to say life is like that. Sometimes we dun get second chances. Treasure those times. Treasure the pple you love. Treasure the pple you meet everyday. At times i just wanna cry coz i feel so lonely. But its nice to know that pple have been there for me. God has provided support in the trials in my life. Many might feel that i am getting more than over emotional just because of this. Thats not true though. Its been about 3 weeks that i have taken on that mentality. This happening just boosts the grave importance of this.
On Sunday night, when i was on the way home, i decided to call my pastor. Although in a way she said some comforting things, there were the facts that i believe in that cant be denied. Many are really sceptical about religion. I believe in God and i am a christian. My pastor happened to say a harsh fact. I wanted to pray for Ying Jie and his family and i asked how to coz i have not done this before. Thing is no matter what you pray, if the person has not accepted Christ into their lives, there is only one outcome.
On hearing those words, i just wanted to cry. What if he never knew about God and no one ever told him. What have i been doing in my life to influence my friends. I dun care if pple laugh at me nemore about my religion. He has carried me through the problems, through the pain. I know for certain it is him. No doubt.
I hope that someway, He will show his work in me. The people that are placed in your life are for a purpose. I dun think that there is such a thing as fate and this and that. Only God knows all. Even if you are not a christian you will also feel something along this same line. You dun wanna die without having impacted someones life in a way.
What we do in life, echoes through eternity.
