Adieu dear virtuous Whitney!!!

This is the 15th time am listening to one of my favourite songs of hers-i look to u
I find it hard to believe Whitney's gone
As i listened again to the lyrics of her song...with dat golden,confident voice she definitely wasn't calling out to mere mortal or looking to man for help...she cried to God
i know he heard u whitney...
Did u whisper to him how much rest u anticipate being with Him even in the tub where u breathed ur last?
Am sure he heard u...
Dunno why am believing she's gone to rest against all odds and tabloid gossip
'she had drugs mixed with alcohol' 'twas suicidal' 'she drowned herself'
whatever! Whitney loved Bobby with all her heart and idolized him like her 'god'
Why am I not suprised? she was a vivacious,free-spirited woman born in a xtian home
Groomed to love unconditionally and to submit to God

Perhaps she made a wrong choice at a point in life..choosing the wrong man and putting him before God
But she made no wrong choices loving n submitting to a man...only it was the wrong man
Had it been she allowed God inspire her at the point of choice...Whitney would have been one of the best models of xtian women.
How many wives of clergy men can submit totally or support their husbands in doing right..yet they carry loud megaphones to say 'it is important to marry the right man o.' True tho but....

How many babes who made such seemingly right choice are  as good natured and free-spirited as Whitney?
While i really agree with the fact that she would have made the right choice,
i celebrate the black vivacious woman with the golden voice like Tracy Chapman's
whose gait oozes such confidence and elegance
whose spirit still yielded to God's conviction about drugs
Who remains grateful to mama for her unconditional love and fervent prayers for restoration
Who loved her daughter so passionately,the young woman would prefer dying with her mom

Whitney..you weren't my role model but i learnt some positive things about you which are very biblical,yet i can't find in so called female role models in church?
something so sincere, so expressive, so passionate, so loving
Whitney i dare to tag u a 'virtuous woman'.

Thank you for leaving such great legacy behind and teaching me how to carefully make choices yet never daring to be someone else..

Pls tell me you whispered to Jesus before your last breath...
May i stay focused in d race and recieve so much grace to trace my pace to heaven(Amen).
I really look forward to seeing you in heaven by God's grace...Whitney pls,pls be there....so we can sing together all day long...
