Jesus has been stretching my faith, my love and my walk with Him. But also, He is doing it with my possessions, or should I say... His possessions. To be honest, I am glad He takes his precious time to invest in my character & life; Even when it is hard and painful, but yet... He has declared victory. He wants me to be victorious. Therefore, it has been a huge relief to have Him as the Rock of my Salvation...... I believe, if I did not have God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in my life.... I would be lost, and so wrong.
Over this last weekend, Dad and Mom kept telling me.......that there was something I needed to know. But they were praying how to say it & when to share it.
Knowing this fact, I felt SO anxious; I thought in so many things that my Parents could share with me. ... but never thought of what I was about to hear on Tuesday night.
The words of my Parents still ring over my head:
" Leslie, Yogui has passed away, a car went over him "~
I just..... I just....." Leslie, Yogui has passed away, a car went over him "~
could not believe it..
My little dog..?
My buddy of 11 years, died because of a car?...
I was in shock...
The car didn't stop to help my brother, in fact the driver kept going..
In my nature, I wanted to say : "why ? "how could that be possible? "
I am glad God created "tears ", it is Ok to cry, see...I did cry & a.l.o.t. However, one thing I can be sure, through those tears, I was able to feel G.O.D. even more. Having Jesus, just challenges me and gives me a different prospective of life. Through this situation, I was able to have a song, a sweet melody, expressing the word ~ " Thank you ". All this days, I have been remembering all the good times that Yogui and I spent together, all the funny and unique things he used to do, like, when he wanted to be with me all the time!! he even liked to play soccer..... Man.....
His presence will be so missed.
This last Wednesday, we had thunderstorms in Chicago. I k.n.o.w God created that day.... just to encourage me... I immensely love the rain, ah, it was SO precious. So, I decided to walk back home, it was late, it was dark and cold outside, .... but, guess what?... I got wet, and I loved it! I believe that every thunder I heard that night, it was like God was inspiring every single part of me. On that day, I established other kind of relationship with the One who spoke with power. I cannot explain it, but I felt like He was walking next to me, saying .... ~' Sing to me with your whole heart Leslie ! ' '' can you sing with me Leslie?, can you praise my Name? ' .... I believe every person have their own way to praise their Creator. It is like a secret of love, between you and your Great Shepherd....... Every day, I learn something new, it doesn't matter how big or how small is the situation, for our great Master, the Author and Finisher of our faith, everything is important.....Every situation in life, is preparing us for E.t.e.r.n.i.t.y...... Serve the Lord with gladness, come before His presence with ..............Singing.
This morning, during Staff Meeting,I was able to say as Job quoted.." The Lord has given, the Lord has taken.... Blessed be YOUR Name "
I am so grateful for all the valuable lessons that my little Yogui taught me through out his life. One thing you can know about my Yogui....
He was a beautiful creation of God~
