someone i knew just took her life. she interviewed me for the uni-y post that i was running for and she's a fellow church sister of mine. we were going to work together in future for uni-y as part of the exco.

i just attended the wake and came back. questions still run through my head like why did she jump and did she think the problem was too hard for god to answer? all these questions would never matter anymore cuz she's gone. from what i know of her, i can tell that she has a very persevering spirit. she was very involved in uni-y and that alone tells much.

i believe that she's in a better place now. nothing can take away the salvation that god has given us. true, she might have chosen to take her life but she is still a child of god. by god's grace he delivers us from our sins and that includes murder, or in this case, the taking of our own lives. my heart sincerely cries out to god that this sister of mine will find peace at last in god's embrace. and that the living would cease to blame themselves for her death.

to an extent, i feel that this is a spiritual attack from the evil one. many of my fellow brothers and sisters have been ill, including myself. just when i decided to make serving god my main priority for this year, the attacks have been coming on strong. i'm going to seek god everyday and remain faithful; i know that the god i serve has already overcome to grave and the powers of the lord of this earth. as much as i grieve the passing of a friend i will continue to put my faith in the one who saves.

God may you please be with all who are grieving tonight. fill them with your great love and grace, touch their hearts and wipe the tears from their eyes. amen.
