Of course, all that is said, I must also say that God's hands upon our lives has been amazing. When I first rejected you, I have never once thought that you would persevere on. The most awkward moment was probably when I knew you had joined my (previous) organization. As much as I appreciate the friendship, it was never an open topic between us why I rejected you then and how you had felt. Thankfully, we never get to work together as we were miles apart (literally!).
Looking back, we are amused by the rejection, the perseverance, the thick-skin-ness, the awkwardness, etc... However, after all the talk, I also realized what made us continue the friendship despite the funny feelings, were our basic belief in maintaining and treasuring friends.
Dearest, you have been an amazing husband. You are always willing to change and compromise if what I say makes sense. Yet, you also have this stubbornness when things go against the principles or character of God. Your steadfastness & faithfulness have helped to slow me down to think and rethink what is better.
I appreciate you a lot because at every instance, you will still choose God & his ministry. No matter how tired you are, I still see your heart's desire to attend every band practice. Playing for God, to you, is such a privilege and should not be taken for granted. Despite your tiredness and much desire to watch NBA, you will choose me (& my nagging to get you to do household chores). You choose to work harder than the usual normal hours so that you can bring in more income yet never compromising to spend time with me.
Thank you my dearest, for your love and commitment towards God and me (& little Faith now). You are amazing and no words can describe how I truly feel. I look forward to growing old with you, holding your hand and walking to McDonalds at Bishan Park together with Faith (& perhaps the 2nd one) on every first day of Chinese New Year.
