Spring sunrise

It's that time of semester again where the final semester design project is about to due and when sleeping at 6am in the morning is a norm.  Sigh.. Not a happy semester, that I can tell you.  This week (including last Friday) was so stressful, and losing a dear dear friend does not help either.  Rebekah, really really miss you my friend, may you rest in peace as this is my final goodbye as I move on in life.


"Rebekah,

As memories came flooding in, Rebekah, you were more than just a good friend, you were like a little sister to me.  I remember the times when we brought you to school in the morning before you could even drive.  We were always greeted by you smiles and cheerful but sleepy “good mornings”.  I remember the good times we had in secondary school and especially when we were serving in the Wesley Youth Service.  When we went on our different path in life, I am glad we still met up when we were back in Sibu.  With your cheerful and cheerful smile.  I remember me, always messing up your hair just to disturb you and getting scolded by my mum.  Those were such great memories. The loss of a great friend is hard to bear, the loss of someone close is heart-breaking. 

Rebekah, though you were physically weak, you were one of the strongest and most passionate people I ever knew.  You brought smiles and happiness into so many people’s live.  Through music, friends, and even church.  Your life was a testimony for all who knew you.  Through all these sadness, I still thank God for a friend and a sister like you.  You will be deeply missed and will always be remembered.  Rebekah, thanks for being you. Thanks for being my friend. And as I can’t fly back to say goodbye, my heart is praying for you and your family.  See you in Heaven soon my friend.

As I walked back this morning, and as the sun began to rise, I somehow felt it within me that God was telling me how wonderful and important life is.  Looking at the sky, I thought to myself: "God is indeed very creative and wonderful."  Even when stuff gets tough, I know my God is there for me.  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  So as I go off to bed, let me share with you what beauty I saw this morning.

It is as if God is telling me: "Have a great day.." so I would like to wish everyone:
"Have a Great day!"
