When Death met Creator!

Well it has been a while I update my blog. Guess I'm busy studying for my exams just like many of you all. Or rather I'm trying to look busy studying for my exams. Haha. Nah! I'm really studying. Stress! O.o" Nothing much happen to me the week before. Except for a few 'accident'. Haha. On saturday, had worshp pract in church. So the team was testing sound and I decided to go over to Chapel to see if the sound was too loud. As the Chapel is locked, I entered thru the store room that was linked from the MPH to the Chapel. As I entered the Chapel, my hand happily swung the door close. And the door can either only opened from inside the room or a key if from the Chapel. ARGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! I was trapped in Chapel. Thkfully, I was calm and i started banging on the door frantically. But to no avail. Then i called David, nvr picked up den I called Gary and thkfully his phone is with him. He came to my rescued. Haha. The things that I nvr imagined myself doing. Haha.

I guess the moment of the week was on Sunday. Beside leading 2 sessions of worship, I was also at Leng Leng's mum encoffining svc. After the svc as the coffin was driven out and the relatives and frens followed behind. I was looking from afar and somehow I started to tear. I didn't know Leng's mum in personal but somehow I felt grieved. Grieved not becoz of fear of death but rather the feeling of losing someone important.
I remembered when I was very young, there was this incident where I cried so badly because I was scared of death. I didn't know where i would go when I die. I was pretty young in faith at that time. And I had no idea why i suddenly thought of that. It could have been God talking to me. Haha! But now, I gave thks to God because we are people of hope and need not fear death. But rather death should be joyous ocassion becoz we know that the race is completed and there will no longer be pain and suffering.
I also remembered when my 2nd elder sister passed away, I shed no tear. Not because I felt nothing. In fact, I was very close to her and I was really very young at that time. 9 yrs old. I tried to cry but just couldn't. I believe that God was there with me and He had somehow or rather assured me that my sister is safe with Him and I need not worry nor grieved.
After hearing what i say, you all may think that I definitely look forward to my death bed. Haha. Actually not really! I'm not contradicting myself. It is just that since i'm assured that death is merely going back to my Creator, I think it is more important to look at the days that we have on earth. How am I going to spend these years? I definitely want to spend it wisely and we really need the Lord's guidance and wisdom. I prayed hard that when I lie on my final bed and take my last breath, the Lord is pleased and draws me to Him saying, "Good and faithful servant" Amen!
