Malaysia's Blog

On July 21st 2010 God introduced baby Malaysia to the world. One sad day on 08-28-2010 at only 5 weeks old God came back for His child and took her back home. How do you explain why things like this happen? The death of a baby? How can you make sense out of having to bury an innocent child? When God took His baby back some friends and family asked questions concerning why this happened. We had never witnessed or experienced anything like this before. An infant has never died in our family before. I found myself attempting to explain exactly why this happened with no success knowing deep down that I was not hitting it on the nose. Those answers just did not feel right in my heart. Fortunately, the true answers started flowing through my heart and I wanted to share in memory of Malaysia.

In this life we have only one purpose and that is to worship God and Him only. Our only purpose on this earth is to worship Him with all our heart, mind and soul. If we can do this then He is pleased. God has given us free will to get to heaven or hell. The choice is ours. Death is inevitable and there is no doubt that it is going to happen, but it's not our choice to choose when. It's a scary fact but it's true. Yes, we would like for it to happen when we're old and have lived our lives, but that's not always the case. It's not about us and what we want. It's about God. It would be idea for all to grow old, but God mixed it up a little so that we don't get too comfortable with this earth. Have you ever noticed that when death occurs we remember God. Sometimes we even blame God feeling He took our loved ones to punish us. Well, that couldn't be farther from the truth. The bottom line is that we all have to go at our appointed times. The only thing that God wants us to know is that this pain we feel here on earth will not be so in Heaven. Heaven is a beautiful place where there will be no more pain and no more tears. God says "I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also" John 14: 2-3. The old saying "nothing is promised" is so untrue. God made lots of beautiful promises which will be fulfilled. Until then we have to go on and live our best lives. To my niece, Malaysia's mom:

In the words of Patti labelle, "Loves never dies." Malaysia is with God now while He prepares a place for all of us. Celebrate her life because it was exactly what God meant for it to be. She was a beautiful baby girl and had love from you that will last until you meet again. God never meant to hurt you, but to prepare you for Heaven when it's your time. Right now He wants you to live your best life and you shall be blessed. Losing a child is hard and painful and it's not ok, but in time it will be ok. It's ok to cry because God will wipe away the tears. You may never get over her loss, but you will learn to live with it. Malaysia can see the real beauty of the world which is in Heaven. God spared her from all the confusion chaos and pain we experience here on earth. She's ok now. Mathew 18:18, "Verily I say unto you, What so ever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven." So take comfort in knowing you will see her again. Auntie loves you and wants you to live your best life.
