My Role Model

Besides than Jesus being ULTIMATE role model in life. My great grandma is my other role model on earth apart from my parents'. Shes 87 this year. Quite young for a great grandma huh? Yeah, I hear that a lot. As humans grow old, every part of our body shrinks. Even our organs. Its kind of normal for her to get sick and get admitted into the hospital. Especially when she has asthma. She is a strong, optimistic, cute, adorable, sweet and gentle soul :)... Shes been in and out of the hospital almost twice a year.

But, even when shes sick. Or in the hospital. She never fails to go to church every sunday, riding on her little old bike. Shes been all alone by herself for the past 25 years ever since her husband died(my great grandpa). Last night I wondered to myself, even with my family and friends around me. Yet, I feel lonely sometimes
. And my great grandma has been alone by herself for 25 years. Washing, cooking and cleaning all by herself. I definitely believe that in her spare time, she talks to God a lot. And that's how I know why she doesn't feel alone at all. Because God, is really in her life. She told my mum before, that she sometimes misses her husband. But, because of God.. She is able to overcome the lonely times in her life. When I thought about that last night. I just thought to myself "Wow.. shes such an incredible woman.. I wanna grow to be just like her.." Despite her health and lack of physical support. She is still passionate about God. And even through the lonely times. The ONLY person she seeks, is GOD. I can't help but to cry thinking about it.

Because, its so powerful and yet touching at the same time. My great grandma definitely left something for me to grow on with. Which is to know, that God is with me 24/7. And even during the bad times, know that my faith, love and believe in Him will overcome ALL loneliness and difficulties. I know very well, that even as shes laying on the hospital bed right now. Shes thinking about God, and when she will go HOME:')... I know that she'll be fine for sure. Cause she never stops fighting. Shes a WARRIOR. A WARRIOR
for GOD.









" I LOVE you great grandma... Get well soon.. :')"
