I guess you've all heard by now that she's gone.....Whitney Houston is no longer here on this earth as we know it gracing us with her presence of elegance, beauty, love and light. I loved me some Whitney Houston. I feel numb. I really do. The news of her passing has really made me think about life even more than I already do, how precious every moment is and how death has no boundaries. While we would all like to think we are going to live to a ripe elderly age, truth is some of us won't make it there together.
It's like I said yesterday, while we are here, what are we going to do with our gift? Our purpose? We owe it to ourselves to give this life our best shot, our best effort, do the best we can. Live the best we can. Can we truly say, if all of us were to look in the mirror that we have done the best we can do? For me, I can't. I can do better, especially with my weight, my body, my mind, my soul. I can do better. It's times like these that make us stop and think about how precious life really is.
Are we sowing seeds of love? Or, Are we sowing seeds of discord? Spewing venom and hate? What's our make-up? Do you know the weather of your mind?
My Dearest Whitney, I must thank you for all the love that you have given us. Thank you for your gift and for using the voice that God gave you to bless us all.
I want to share the lyrics to one of Whitney's latest songs, in the passing of Whitney Houston, I leave these words:
"I Look To You ~ By Whitney Houston"
As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all
Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?
I Look To You
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I Look To You
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song
I Look To You
About to lose my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door
And every road that I've taken
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm gonna make it
Nothing to do but lift my head
I Look To You
My levee's have broken, my walls have come crumbling down on me!!
The rain is falling, defeat is calling
I need you to set me free
Take me far away from the battle
I need you, shine on me
I Look To You
After all my strength has gone
In you I can be strong
I Look To You
I Look To You!!!........"
