She then said this (paraphrased cause I forgot exact words.. Hee..) - San, I will pray for you. I will pray that you will be able to find a husband who will honor and protect you and one who loves God. In short, she will pray for a Godly husband for me. *smile* You have no idea how much her understanding means to me.
It warmed my heart like how a candle gives warmth to a dark cold room. Having known my best friend for a good 16 years, I have been praying for her for 14 years (on and off since I backslided before) to come to know God. Being close to her has somehow always made things harder for me to share. However, I start to pray that God will speak to her Himself. I pray that He will send people to encourage her. God is amazing. He did just that.
Being someone of simple childlike faith, she advises me consistently to have faith in God. Don't complicate things. Just have faith. Man.. Talk about complicating. Don't we humans complicate things so often? Being someone who finds her peace in God, she often share how God has been her comfort & joy & strength. Someone with a thankful heart, she often share with me how thankful she is towards God has been leading her and opening job opportunities for her. Through her, I am re-learning simple things.
That, in itself, is joy. After 14 years, I thought we are finally am on the same frequency. Not like we didn't get along well. We did and we ARE! Just that frequency was different. But suddenly, we are talking the same language! "I will pray for you." & "Please pray for me." as compared to "Er.. we see how things go yah?" or "I will pray for a Godly husband for you" as compared to "Why need a Godly man as husband?". Man.. it was quite tough explaining why I want a partner who loves God. Haha!!! With a common spoken language, we could easily think of HIS love - God's love.
All rightie.. Just some quick post-happenings...
Celebration of Nelson's birthday at Billy Bombers at Marina Square on Wednesday in replacement of CG (oh.. After my breastfeeding talk at KKH). HmmP..! I had a VERY expensive All-Star burger! Woohoo!! It was a HUGE patti of beef. Good thing we have a Noel in our CG because he sort of has a bottomless stomach. Heeee.. Noel, don't blame us if you put on weight heh!!
*SOB* I was very upset on Friday.. *sOb Sob* When I joined my org in January as an intern, I was inside the air-conditioned office. Then when I joined officially as a full timer, I was permanently moved outside to the non-air-conditioned place. Though it's not that cooling but I sure love my workspace. I was in my small little corner with my small space for writing. Best of all, my ezyema sort of stopped because my skin was no longer dry! More so, I had developed strong attachments because it was my FIRST workstation in my WHOLE entire working life! Terrible right? I have worked for a good 7 years but I have always shared PCs and space.
WELL.. When we were all to shift back into the office, my logical sense has to come and take over my emotional attachment! I convinced myself that sitting under the aircon (now) will have be complaining less about being hot. I thought also that printing papers now will be much easier since the photocopier is beside me. Least of all, if I need to print with the letter head, I don't have to run in and out of office. Best of ALL, the cabinet for the casefiles is just beside me now!
Hokay.. Just like a friend's advice before, change is about the only constant thing in life. I just have to learn how to change fast in this dynamic organization.
Ah huh! I literally had a HOT date on Friday night! It was a REAL HOT HOT HOT date with my sister and Jan. Went to Ayam Penyet Ria at Lucky Plaza level 4. Queue was long but who cares when we were in good company! Oh gosh.. The sambal was SO hot that
(STOP for awhile!! Dick Lee singing HOME on Ch 5!!!!)
Ok. Back with a melted heart. Not that he's handsome or anything but the song is JUST so fantastically composed & sung and even written.
Anyway, yes.. the sambal was so hot that I thought I was high on chilli.
Heeeee... In Carol's blog, she said that this is her virgin trip to Comex. Tsk.. Real S.K. (Suaku aka Mountain Tortoise). I had my fun and joy teasing her for it being her FIRST time Comex (since she always tease me)! Hahaha!! Thus, no matter HOW crowded it is, I still continue to snap away.. :)
Had a great Sunday of P&W, testimony, sermon. Since God has spoken to me, it's now's time for me to go back to my reading & personal journal.
