This morning, God took 5 year old Nathaniel home with Him. Although the first thing i heard the news, i asked," why?, Why Nat? He's 5 and he belongs to a family so complete, why....?" But the next minute, i knew i had to trust what God had in mind. He has His reasons for taking him away from all of us. Nat struggled the past few weeks. He couldnt talk, couldnt react, couldnt understand. Hearing mummy talk about how Nat had been these few days, my heart sank. Nat's 5 and he's a brilliant boy whom i knew would grow so strong in the Lord. And auntie Dorris is one woman i really look up to. She is strong emotionally, physically, psychologically and most of importantly, spiritually. I have never seen a family so complete like theirs. Laura who is only 2 is bright, Amanda who was just born is not even a year old but they are complete. Why hit on a family so complete? I truly do not know the answer, but i know for sure its because God knows they are strong enough to handle which is why He chose nat. Looking at them, im at a lost because i cant digest the fact that Nat has went home. But maybe mum's right. Maybe its a better choice to take him away now, so he dont have to face with the hardships of the end times. Maybe ....
God works in ways we cannot see. But He will make a way for the family. They have fought a good fight, they have finished the race, but all they need is to the faith right now to know that God is in control. And i know He is..
Once again, it brings forth the thought of how important it is to cherish the ones beside us before something strikes or hits us real hard. Once again, im reminded of the need to be strong in the Lord because when times like this crashes down on us, we need to trust. And we all need to grow deeper and stronger in the walk so that we dont fall and are not shaken.
Its always sad to depart, but Nat is in a better place.
