It's hard to let go wondering what really happened to Whitney Houston. I felt like something was going to happen to Whitney, but I wasn't expecting death. I felt it strong in 2001 after loosing my mom. Then the R&B singer Aaliyah died that year. After that, I kind of lost interest in music some, and I didn't keep up with the news much.
Around 2010 or 2011, I searched to see if Whitney was on social media. I found a Twitter account that really might have been Whitney. With doubt, I wanted to write her. Superstars get busy, and they don't write back no how, I thought. I wasn't quite sure if it was Whitney. By the time I made up my mind to write, Whitney was gone with the Lord. The truth is, I cared about Whitney Houston as a human being. I still care.
Today I still watch Oprah Winfrey's interview with Whitney. I'm still listening to the interview. Whitney was a church person, and she knew she had something to do. She just wasn't sure what and was not guided like many of us. Some of us don't even know that we are being called by God. I think Whitney still helped a lot of people just by singing and God allowed it. Whitney showed us the true way of music altogether. She was a decent singer singing decent songs. Whitney sang both gospel and R&B. She was old fashioned. I don't think God was upset with her music and songs about love, but I'm sure he wasn't pleased with the things that was going on in her life. The Bible said that God's people are peculiar people (1 Peter 2:9).
I believe Whitney was a good person, and if she truly had a heart for God, he saw that. He looks at the heart (1 Sam. 16:7). There are things about Whitney we cannot see and that we do not know. But the Lord knows, and he understands. There were things that bothered Whitney, and she probably didn't even know why some things happened in her life. Some things may not have been her fault. I think she understood better as she got older. The Bible said we would have tribulations (St. John 16:33).
