what joy God has blessed her in her life.
life is indeed beautiful.
as always, she’s excited to go to her favourite hang out place. yay! it’s the weekends again!
this weekend was a little different. she was greeted by nervous ushers who were a little afraid that an elderly lady who had a heart bypass done 5 months ago will collapse during service due to the great excitement! haha…that made her giggle. but she talked to the lady just to make sure she’s alright. what a pleasant chat.
yay! finally the band plays and the lights were flashing! awesome! she loves to worship.
but as she was drawn deeper and deeper into the presence of her Maker, her heart began to ache. her eyes welled up with tears. one thing’s for sure: she’s found before her Creator.
and in that special moment, she became true to herself. she couldn’t help it. she couldn’t pretend or put a mask before Him. she knew..the feelings are still there. she didn’t know how to describe them, she didn’t know what to do with them. she could only utter, “God, help…please…”
as the tears rolled down her eyes, she wished the emotions left her with them. they didn’t.
there was only one thing that could have made her feel better. that is to run to him, hug him and tell him all that she has been keeping in her heart and ask for forgiveness.
but she couldn’t. he was so near, yet so far.
as reality slips back, her mind gave her a wake up call. she could only wipe the tears away and put back that familiar smile on her face.
she cherishes every moment she spent with him, even when there’s only silence, even when she could only watch and listen to his conversations with his friends. they remind her that he is no longer available, impossible to be hers. every moment she’s with him brought her closer to reality, to the things expected of her, to the things that are practical. they drown her emotions. they help push her further and further away from him.
yet in all the pain, she has decided to show him respect, to not say words that will possibly cause him pain. to go the second mile for him. to learn to “get things right”. much easier said than done, but she has to learn and try.
and through all these, she still believes that her needs are important to Someone. Someone who will provide, Someone who understands, Someone who has wired her exactly the way she is.
Someone who whispered words to her that comforted her.
and all He said was: “I know…”
