sad

Feeling sad today. Said good-bye to one of my cousins, Emma...and Lipo, one of us...tomorrow zee goes, another one of us...makes for a very sad me.

Tonite saw someone else who was sad. She is one of the most beautiful, inside and out, God chicks I know.

Then their's my uncle who is in hospital and his situation is critical. He is someone I imagined would live a long life because he looked after himself, even though he has always had health issues. He never let it beat him.

Our group last nite really lifted my spirits. I felt like praising the Lord in the midst of our troubles. No matter what I will always worship him because he deserves all the glory.

All the riots and racial tension in Sydney at the moment is also depressing me. This is the down side for feeling empathy...sometimes it's just not good to feel so much.

I feel like praising the LORD again. It's my answer to trouble. Draw near to him because I desperately need him to draw near to me.

Times like this I find his promises flooding my mind...he knows exactly what I need.

LORD, please heal our city - bring some good out of all this sadness, work your light through all our lives so we can take back from the darkness what belongs to you. Be a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path...so I can stand without falling and walk without stumbling. Love you LORD and thanks for loving us. Oh and thanks for letting Jamu and Vince leave Samooa despite the many obstacles.

your daughter.
