| | "Juliet found her Romeo" (words of JJ inspired by the Love Story) I remember the many conversations i had with God since secondary school days regarding my future boyfriend... I remember asking questions like... When will be the right time i have a boyfriend? Who will he be? Is he the guy? Will i ever get a boyfriend?How long more oh God?Where are the Christian men?Why are the guys like that?and many more similar questions about my future boyfriend...
Some famous questions that friends would usually ask me... You got boyfriend already ah?How come still don't have one?So and so not good-meh? Your church friends leh? Work place leh?You have high expectations, is it? I also remember statements that i made like... Good Christian men are hard to find these days... It'll be a miracle if i can find a boyfriend... High expectations? But i only have 2 criteria: someone who loves God, loves people; understand/receptive of FES work (but still hard to find...) Maybe it'll be a bonus if he's like my dad - a handyman.
And usually i'll tell my friends, if i have a boyfriend, i'll make sure i mass sms everyone on my phonebook... *grins*About 2 years ago, i crossed path with a guy whom we have never thought that we could be possibly be each other's couple. His name is Mark. Both of us are very different from each other. Though there were lots of teasings going on, but in our hearts we didn't think it's possible. To me, it was like an impossible for us to get together. 2 years later, with the latest project that we worked together... something begins to spark off without us realising it coming. As i rethink about the possiblity of us getting together, what was once seems impossible begins to seem possible. Mark is someone who has matched the criteria that i hope to find in a guy. With the many special encounters we had during that project, it seems to be some confirmation to me that it's possible for us to work things out. And so... we talked about things after the project was over... prayed about it, talked to people about it... waited for a month and then we started our journey together in July.  It was really an amazing encounter how God brought the 2 of us together, Mark and i are truly amazed by Him. Our journey ahead will have alot of challenges... ie: to live under the Lordship of Christ in this area of relationship, to set an example to others, to find time to be with each other (he's working in Malacca), etc etc. God has indeed blessed us alot. I'm glad that our journey has our God to be with us and guide us through it all. Would definitely cherish your prayers for us too! To my friends, sorry lah, i don't think i'll mass sms you all about my status now. I feel that it's weird if i were to do so. Usually it's when people asked only we would tell... so yea, here's our story. And if you were to ask me is he the one? (famous question among the girls). My answer would be, we will never able to know whether he's the one. God gives us wisdom in discerning and He guides us in our decisions. One thing i know is that, love is a choice to make a commitment. And so... I've made my choice to commit. The road ahead is really a journey of trust in our mighty God.  |
