Nowadays, when the sun sets, the streets will be empty. Malls and restaurants will be empty. Only the lonely moon & streetlights be the only ones who stares at the emptiness of the city, listening to the whistling breeze. People went home early to be with their loved ones to make sure they are alright. Even in non-affected areas like the westcoast of Sabah, people are taking extra caution, just in-case any unwanted incidents that might happen. So, people stocked up food, petrols & other basic needs. Supermarket "rice section" - All you can see are empty racks.
I know this is a fashion blog. But something that has been stucked in my mind for a month must be scrapped out. I'm not good in talking. So I decided to write about it. Oh Lord, I pray that these gunmen will stop the fighting. This isn't the way to deal with it! As of today, 16th Mar 2013, a total of 71 people were reported killed, including 61 Filipino militants, eight Malaysian policemen, one Malaysian soldier, and a teenage boy of unknown nationality. How many more lives do we or they have to sacrifice?
This is not a simple case to be solved. If not careful, things like this "might" happened again. No one knows when the fighting will stop. The government has to think of a long-term solution to this. May God give them wisdom in dealing with this matter without anymore bloodshed.
Friends, we might not be able to help to stop the situation, but let us continue to live in unity, keep praying & trust in the Lord for only He alone can make things right. Only He alone can remove the fear in us. And only He can move the mountains & calm the raging sea.
Amen.
