Death!
I’m not afraid of dying. I really am not. But I guess what worries me is what will happen after. How it will be when I get to heaven (yes keh, I am sahtainly going there). Will it be scary with all sorts of strange beings aka angels? Will God be so big and huge and look so intimidating with His big feet that cover the earth or will He really be like one of us? Will I see David and ride along to his mansion? How shall we transport ourselves within the borders of Heaven? Is there a real life there or will we worship all day. What will Jesus look like? Is he tall? Does he have an accent like Benjamin Netanyahu or will He be able to blend with me easily?
How will it be really? What is death? What is life? What what what?
A high school mate died less than 2 days ago and I am still in a state of shock. I don’t know exactly how old he was but I can bet he was 26 years old max. Now he is gone.
Aside of the shock of it all, I began to ponder: what does life really mean? What is death? Where does it all end? Does it all end?
Young people are dying this year, it is alarming. Let’s pray for protection. Aside of this, let’s pray for our souls-that we may not be lost. That God’s power will be real in our lives. That without shame, we shall stand for Christ till our dying day. As I type, my fingers are cold-not out of fear but out of the re-realization that life is fickle, is fleeting, is transient, means little.
I want it that whenever our Maker deems it fit to call us home, we are ready. Let us be able to say each moment without doubt that if we die today, we are going straight to heaven, with the hosts of heaven standing at attention to welcome us home.
Rest in Peace, K.I. You were always the calm one. You deserve peace.
God bless you guys.

So fleeting indeed. The important thing is to know that you have been able to accomplish God’s purpose for our lives here on earth.
It is well

One thing only worries me – what becomes of my children after I’m gone. How do they say it? “Nobody can care for and love your children quite like you”.

The funny thing is, i am not scared of death either and have never been since I ages ago now.I like to fulfill purpose though, I hate to lose any family member by his grace, they will live to see the glory of God in our lives.
I desire to go to heaven, but I believe that my salvation is in God and only through the grace of God I will make heaven.
I have since realize that making heaven is not up to me, however I have a responsibility to live a life of righteousness and to love God with all my heart and obviously accepting JESUS as my personal saviour (even then there is no guarantee, God is the only judge. Sometimes, I feel like I don’t do enough and I should more. But everything has it time. maybe am making excuses.
But to be honest, I will only do my part believing that God knows what best.
So, YES HEAVEN will be awesome and I have stop imagine what God will look like. why: because he is more than awesome and he is more than my imagination. I see with my physical and think with my carnal heart, so I doubt God will look like what I think. So maybe when my spiritual eyes are open and I see my spirit.
Whatever the situation, I am grateful to know God and to love him and to have a relationship with Him.
I pray God will hold the hand of death on the lives our Youths and God will give us grace to fulfill purpose… AMEN.
