It's so strange to read about the death of Heath Ledger. I guess maybe because I've never read or seen anything negative about him. Weirder still is the drug issue. He was just not the type of person that one would think was dabbling in drugs. Then again, who IS the type? Even as I am writing this, I've got a lump in my throat and tears are stinging my eyes at the loss of such a young life. What a waste, and what a sad way to go...
Following his split from Michelle Williams last year, I expected some sort of negative publicity around the custody of their daughter. So far, nothing. Not even that he was depressed or emotional about the split. All of a sudden, to read that he is dead is a huge shock!!! I've just been told about Brad Renfro as well, and as sad as I feel for his family, it was almost obvious he would some day harm himself beyond repair. Heath Ledger on the other hand...? Either the guy has a great publicist or this is a huge set up, a homicide disguised as a suicide.
His death brings back memories of other people we have loved and bade farewell in the past couple of months. All so young, departed for various reasons. This is a shout out to all of you -gone too soon, but never to be forgotten.....

All Good Things (come to an end) - Nelly Furtado
as I headed to Chicago O'Hare International Airport two days ago, this song kept going on in my head
New Year, New Beginnings...
My first entry in the new year - I anticipate, the inevitable, supernatural intervention of God in my life in 2008, I expect a miracle...
2007 had its ups and downs, the most significant ones being situations in which I never even dreamt I would find myself. The year started off with me crying to God for a job, and praying steadfastly for a particular position. At that point in time, I would have made any sacrifice to get that job. God proved himself faithful.
Shortly after, I found myself being thrown from one emotional turmoil into another, and this rollercoaster ride eventually ended in August when I decided to step off the ride. I can easily and proudly say, it was the best decision I made for myself last year. Now, it's one thing to sever certain ties, it's another thing to forgive the people involved, or forget the circumstances that surround you. I can confidently say, this same God that brought me to it, brought me through it. I went on a lot of trips last year, and my most memorable was the one I made towards the end of the year, as it gave me closure. I got to see people in a different light, and was able to understand their position and mine properly. Like I said to each and every one of them: No experience in life is wasted! Everything we go through, is for a reason. There's a lesson we are meant to learn from each situation, and until that lesson is learnt, we can't move on. I've made my peace, and I wish for everyone,that they will find their own place of peace.
The holidays were interesting. I was involved in two motoring accidents within 3 days. One of which left me with a serious case of whiplash. Considering the amount of trips I'd made to the hospital last year, and the kind of reports I'd heard, I was determined NOT to go in there, and I'm happy to tell you that I felt much, much better within days -many thanks to my younger brother's healing hands and faith! Oh, I also managed to dent my car in a few places, and messed up the wheel alignment, lost a wheel rim... through it all, NO ONE sustained any injuries whatsoever... if that's not God, then I don't know! I believe that there are a few angels specially assigned to my care, and it's a thing of great joy to know, I tell you.
Days later, I headed out of the country on a much deserved break, and arrived yesterday. I was on some sort of natural high, and had every intention of going straight to my desk at work! By the time I got home, showered and got dressed, I just felt the need to relax... Although I didn't quite manage to sleep, I just couldn't get out of bed. I eventually drifted off to sleep around 1am, and when I woke up today, I mean consciously looked at the clock, it was 3.15pm! I slept through 3 alarms and at least 5 phone calls. I can't even begin to describe the embarrassment. I've got to find a way to appease my boss now...!
For now, this is where I sign off. I will tell you all about my happy holidays over the next few days. I wish you all a fulfilling year 2008, may you be all that God wants you to be this year, amen!
