Took me sometime to fully understand this:

“There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.” 
― Paulo Coelho, The Fifth Mountain 



I can totally relate to 8-y/o Sharon's sorrow when she lost her grandfather; someone who is so close and dear to her. How much she cries. How sad she is.

It's just that I feel that she is just too young for all this. Too young to be going through this test. Too young to experience this heartbreaking loss of someone so close.

But, He has His ways, His plans which we may never seem to be able to comprehend. Plans as stated in Jeremiah 29:11.

May this child be given wisdom in discerning His will and peace in accepting it.

''Heaven 
plays the music 
of Your grace.

Spinning
round and round
in Your embrace
Knowing that each day
Knowing that each night
You'll keep me dancing through this life.

Take me in Your arms
Lift me high above the world
Never end this song
And forever - dance me on.''

That glorious state when His presence is so near and one can almost touch the boundaries of Heaven.

It has been a long but beautiful adventure.
Indeed, Ecclesiastes 5:1.

He is always faithful to answer.
Sometimes, His answer is a much desired "Yes". 
Sometimes, His answer is a merciful "No".
Sometimes, His answer is a faith-building "Not yet".
And, sometimes ... sometimes, when an answer cannot be found, His answer is simply "Trust me".

When life is in darkness, He will send you a star. That star isn't Him but it will lead you to Him.

''O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect Light''

This is the Epiphany; the revelation that He is and will always be there for us.

Happy Epiphany!
