Day 5: Banana Fanana

THANK YOU, MUMMY! <3

Actually no, I'm not going to write about my mum because I talk about her too often - in a good way. This is to a certain someone who I don't normally think about, but was once a significant part of my life. Juicy, lol. I traced back my thoughts and I arrived at this point where I discovered Jesus in a whole new light. Now I want to write two letters!

Dear Serene,

This is going to be short. Thank you for being my confidante, albeit for a short time. I've always recognized that you were one of the angels God placed in my life. We shared similar experiences and struggles, we liked the same things and we had the same questions. We kicked off the first time we met, and I remember that I shared my heart out because you were still a stranger. But we became so much more. (I sound like a lover now)

Thank you for being a sister when I needed one. I never knew what to call you at that time, because I hadn't learnt how 'sisters in Christ' were supposed to be like. Thank God for you! I'll never forget what God spoke to me through you:

Sometimes God takes away because He has something better planned for you. Be willing to let go.

Not the exact words, but that's the main point.

Thank you for being honest and straightforward in our conversations, however few there were. Thank you for never being ashamed of Jesus; you showed me how impacting the confidence we have in Jesus can be.

I pray that wherever you may be in your journey with Him now, there will be increase in accordance to His plans. As you embrace life, may He always be exalted and never forgotten. And I trust that every life you impact will be for Him. Amen!

Don't forget me! I'm here whenever you need anything :)

Banana Fanana.

Thank you for the sweet memories and the sparks that flew. Thank you for the thrills and spills, glitz and glam; it was fun while it lasted. You probably have no idea, but from what happened, I made the decision to look to Jesus. It was because of how things turned out to be that I found Jesus again and realized that I was looking in the wrong place. I learnt the significance of words and to not make empty promises.

I'm sorry I lied, but I don't think things would be much different because we've grown to lead rather opposite lifestyles anyway. I wish I told the truth, but more importantly, I wish I had told you about the Truth. Because of that conversation, I learnt that things must be brought into the open and I try to do that - although the phlegmatic side of me still tries to avoid confrontation.

I pray that you will encounter Jesus in the near future, and He will be real to you such that you can't say no.
Um, I don't know how to end this so I'll say Amen and take care.
