Today's verse of the day:


Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! Psalm 66:20 (NIV)

A hard goodbye...

I remember the day...

It was about 6 AM in the morning... I hear the phone ring and Mommy sits up to take the call, she cries into the phone. I shake, I knew what was happening. I held back my tears, trying to remain strong to comfort her... We soon load up the car and drive off... To the hospital.

I wait through the long ride. And after what felt like hours, we were finally there. We all open the doors of the car and quickly rush into the hospital and join the rest of the family in a tight room. Soon enough, we got to be in the same room as him. I listened to his breaths, short and quiet. I’m holding back the tears as I look at Bailey. Soon the tears break free... And I cry on Bailey’s lap. Soon we left the room...

After a little while, Mommy and Daddy walked over to me. I could tell there was news, and it wasn’t good. “Poppy’s gonna die... do you want to say goodbye?” She says, tears welling up in her eyes. I shook my head. I was too scared to say goodbye... I hold back the tears again... Only to have them break free as I hug Mommy. My tears escape onto her shoulders...

A little while after, everyone was nervous. Waiting inside the small room of the hospital... Soon Mommy got a migraine and we had to go home...

We went back after a hour or so... And on the way we got a phonecall. I couldn’t make out what the person was saying... But after hearing Mommy cry, “Goodbye Daddy. Goodbye.”

All the lights outside blurred. I couldn’t cry. The moment was too shocking. I wished I could go back in time and say goodbye. I silently cried. Everything is a blur, I am stuck in thoughts.

Todays verse of the day:



He is the one you praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wondersyou saw with your own eyes. Deuteronomy 10:21 (NIV)

My stories.

Happy blue

The sun started to rise, the dark blue sky turned into a pinkish blue sky... Soon after the sky turned to a happy blue color!

It was a beautiful blue. The prettiest I have ever seen.




The joyful meerkat.

The sun peeked up from behind a hill, there was a meerkat watching the sun come up... And the meerkat's eyes were filled with joy. The grass underneath her started to dance in the wind, the sky was a beautiful pink color, the clouds looked almost purple.

She was joyful, that the morning had come, it was a beautiful pink sunny day. Another meerkat woke up, and sat next to her. They both looked pink from the reflection of the sun. They were happy and joyful, and they made little sqeak sounds...

They sounded... As if they were laughing. They looked at eachother smiling. The wind blew one last time making the grass dance once more... One of the meerkats walked up to the other, it was almost as she was hugging him.

He knows...

He knows all about your heart-burdens. He knows that you need a word of encouragement today. Hear His whisper now, friend. Whispers from His Word … from His heart, “I will never leave you or forsake you. I know your name and have engraved it on the palm of my hand. I hold your tears in a bottle and ache with you. My grace is sufficient and I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. I’m right here.” (Deuteronomy 31:6, Psalm 139, Psalm 56:8, 2 Corinthians 12:9, John 16:33)

Let them shout for joy and be glad,

Who favor my righteous cause;

And let them say continually,

“Let the LORD be magnified,

Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” Psalm 35:27

a fall sunset

Today, i saw the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen... then i said a prayer in my mind: "dear god, thank for creating the whole world. thank for the sunsets, and thank you for creating me and my family, in jesus name, amen." i didn't take a picture of it... but i knew i would remember it for a very long time... and maybe tomorrow or the day after even in a week, god might show those beautiful colors again...
