Goodbye my Friend...

Attended ronald's memorial service today.

He was called home to be with the Lord. I was so shocked when i received the message. Couldnt believe my eyes. Called jean and repeatedly shouted into the phone.. "this is not true right??!" Well, the truth is that he is gone.

Ling, ronald's sister read out one of his last journal entries during the service. I'm so glad to know that his faith and trust in the Lord stayed strong even at the last part of his life. Pictures of him were flashed on the screen. Tears kept flowing. Yes, we all ask why. we all want to know why. we know life is unfair. but i know that God makes sense, even when life doesnt. God's plans and ways are higher than our own.

Jesus said "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."

Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." John 14:1-6

Yes, this is the hope. I know i will see him again in my Father's house one day.
