After reading some verses, it always reminded me that God is not only there, but He is interested in every aspect of my life.

I was so sad that she is leaving. It really broke my heart but I already accepted the fact that life is like that. Friends come and go but the most important thing is that you touched each others’ lives. Friendship is not based on the distance but how you treasure each other in your hearts. My friend will never be distant because she stays close to my heart. I hold her in my heart. She is my diamond as diamonds never fade. I miss her a lot though but we still keep in touch through emails and phone calls.
