He was the happiest guy.
Did everything with the brightest smile on his face.
Even when he wasnt the best at the things he did, his smile still shone through.
He made everything he did enjoyable and fun.
I remember he would always cheer me on in track.
He sang with all his passion in choir. It was a pleasure performing "How Great Is Our God" with him for our class.
And what was most important was that he was captured by God's love.
He would randomly tell me how awesome God was, it was great.
I am comforted to know that he is with God now. By his last words, I am sure.
You will be greatly missed Ryan G.!

See you again one day, and we will sing together just like old times in choir =)

Death is very real. I can't believe how many people around me lost family members, friends, or loved ones just within these two weeks. It really makes me treasure the ones around me more because you will never know. I need to appreciate every single person around me and let them know I appreciate them no matter how close I am with them. I really need to make sure everyone around me will make it to the bright and beautiful eternity. Time is really running short. Life on earth is really short. We truly need to treasure it. Do everything that we do to the best of our ability and glorify God in everyway.
I feel even more blessed to know God in my life. To be sure and certain of my eternity. I am not afraid of death.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
-John 11:25

I am officially done exams! And I dont think I did very well on them. I was quite down because of Ryan's death, and on top of that exams of which I knew I did bad on.
So yesterday right after my last exam, I went to New Westminister to take a long walk and talk with God. It was such a beautiful day. Blue skies, flowers were blooming everywhere, the water was sparkling with reflections from the sun. It blew me away. The words "It is finished!" rang through me. I remembered brother fish's message about flowers and trees. It comforted my heart. God is telling me "IT IS FINISHED!" He has done it! He solved our greatest problems! No more tears, no more sorrow! We must rejoice!! Even the flowers are smiling! What may seem like problems today are really nothing, we have already become the most blessed people by living in the blessings of it is finished, problems we have are not worth our stress. We must enjoy the eternal life we have today! I really treasure this gift from God.
And today was my first day of summer holidays. I went to central park to dntG. It was also beautiful, and peaceful. Other than the squirels there that stalk me...I'm serious, last time I was there they were stalking me too! Ok coming back....at central park, the Lord told me to trust in His plan for me, to not worry so much about my future. He has a plan, a very very glorious plan, and He will keep His promises to me (yes He made promises with me). I just have to trust and have faith that everything that He allows is the best, and is His plan. And I have to do all that He puts me through to the best of my ability.
I have perfect rest, and I've got peace like a river =)
I am appreciating nature more and more. I have never been a person who enjoyed looking at flowers or trees or thought that they were beautiful. To be honest, when I recieve flowers, I just think its a big waste of money...but now, I realize how beautiful and unique everything that grows in nature is. I am even fascinated. And today, I was watching ducks by the pond for like 10 whole minutes, and I was smiling the whole time! Crazy stuff. Here are some pics I took with my crapy camera phone...
