Death (Spiritual or Physical)
Current mood: drained

When Life throw u a curb ball and u dont know what to do. You cant see your way through and u dont have no one to hold on to. Let the tears flow and do your best to call on the name of Jesus. I know for myself that he can do whatever it takes to help u through. There will be times when your family, friends, and enemy can not help u and He is the only one that u can call on. Death no matter if it is spiritual or physical we all have to face it one day or the other. Press your way through to see the end. Yes it hurts and there is pain but the only way through is JESUS.

I can smell a new day coming. I can hear a new tune dawning. I see my end coming near no matter what life had dish out for me to view. Reasons why we are in some of the mess that we are in is because of the choices that we have made. Try your best to give thanks to God for new life and for the things that u experience from the past. Its hard but we will all get through. Stand up and dont move soon this trail will be over. Put a smile on ur face cause the sun is shiny. It is almost over.

"The Lord is my light and my salvation who shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devor my flesh when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above my enemies who surround me at his tabernacle will I sacifice with shouts of joy I will sing and make music to the Lord." Psalm 27: 1-2, 5-6

This is for those who is dealing with things that is unexplainable, hurtful, hard and those who want a change. We all will have to die at one point in time in our life. Im encouraging u and myself that u can go through it. It will hurt and it is hard but it can be done. He said he doesnt put more on us than we can bear.

This may be you or not but this is me.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To Ronnie, Dennis, Frank, Jason and the rest of the Draper family: my deepest condolences go out to you. I met Marc when I moved into the neighborhood back in 1990. Marc was real cool and he told me that I was going to be his little sister so from that point on my nickname to him was Baby Sis. He always looked out for me on the streets and in the clubs. He protected me as a big brother would. I'm going to really miss my "FREAKY". I'll keep you in my prayers.
