Concerning death, salvation and discipling.

Here are entries taken from my journal. I'd really appreciate it if you read this.
btw. Sorry, for my English it isn't that great! It's not my native language.
Wednesday, November 26th, 2003 - Clouds' requiem
I woke up this morning and wanted to go the bathroom. Downstairs my father waited for me and said that my mother's oldest brother died. One of her siblings called at midnight. It didn't come unexpectedly, since he had gotten a heartattack last week. He was staying in the hospital. Yesterday the nurse asked him to sleep, and the next morning he just didn't wake up.
He was still young, just 59 years old. Mom thinks he was having stress.The worst thing is that his daughter (my cousin from Germany) left with the plane today, not knowing he has already died! >_<
I don't know my uncle (only met him two times in my life).. But I'm very worried about his three children.. :/
My mom was shocked this morning, but I think she's over it now.. I haven't seen her crying at all..
I wonder how my grandma's doing, it seems awful when your child has died.. >_< But mom said her ma has kept surprisingly strong..
Please pray for the family!
I really do hope he's saved (refers to Blue 's entry "Jesus Generation" nov22). It just made me think more about the subject than I've already done...
man, my discipleship passion really boosted up these days!
Friday, November 28th, 2003 - In the night
At the night/morning when my uncle died (GMT +1 hour), they called my mother. Ofcourse she was incredibly sad and she cried a lot. But I was very surprised when I came down, found her in rest and she even made breakfast for us. I didn't dare to say anything about her brother and so I kept quiet. Absolutely didn't know why she was like that.
Mom had more courage to tell me in the evening.. but I said I already knew from dad. Well, that night she called our pastor.. but instead she got his secretary.. she spoke to her, then the pastor called. Around midday almost all her friends from church knew about that (via email, phone, chat, etc O_o), and prayed.. because they were very afraid if the same would happen to my mother like the girl who I will call Lina.
Not very long ago Lina's mother died. The fact is that she didn't tell her about Jesus, her mother wasn't saved.. well, then she got possesed by (a) demon(s).. A lot of people prayed for her, prayed to cast out the demon.. but up until the encounterweekend it hasn't gone out yet and now? God knows...
---------NON-JOURNAL---------
In the first weekend of november I had a retreat in the middle of "nowhere". It was a great blessing. It's called "Encounter with God", part of the G12 principe. Ever since then the vision of God broke into my heart... (see my signature!!
) You must share the good news, before it's too late! quote :'When it's over you'd be in sorrow for not using the chance for leading people to Christ.' This was incredibly difficult for because I was very very antisocial and my communication level is very low... Lately these weeks was in the sign of death and salvation even more than before... and it really made me think.
request:
1. For my family
2. For Lina
3. For everyone on this board and for yourself to be a disciple of the Lord.
