The day before my sweet 16 birthday,was anything but sweet. A tragedy had struck upon me. My bff,for 6 yrs in pri school, had passed away. I could not believe it. She had been alive and kicking the last time i'd seen her, we were laughing like good old times...but now? Others tell me to look on the bright side. But to me, there's no bright side in this situation, there's no light. Nothing. However, today, my chem teacher recited a verse, "There is a time for tears, and a time for joy,...there is a time for birth and a time for death." Tears welled up in my eyes at that time. But later when my dad told me the exact words, i knew that God had been telling me something. That he was always there. I wasn't alone. Though the pain remains, there is comfort in the knowledge that He always cares, so i am not alone in this. Where God is, there is light, even in suffering.
