What is your definition of LOVE?

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

LOVE… One word..two definitions.

For one, love was impatient and demanded compromise…modern couples who doesnt mind enjoying each others bodies during a relationship, care less and need not think of what will the future be. Its the "I feel good and I want it now"…which is widely accepted by the society nowadays..

For the other, love fueled integrity and convicted young hearts to have the patience needed to wait. Total self control and respect for each other and intend to serve one another in a love relationship.

……………….reflecting on "I kisssed dating goodbye" by Joshua Harris………

There’s nothing wrong or neither am i personal in this matter..Just a thought of mine to share.. I cherish the way paul wrote about love.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, is is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

What a heavy message this is…and how much are we able to do in our love relationship? I must admit that I too..fall here n there..and always needed His grace to teach me lessons to grow.

Of course, no one is refrained from pursuing love. Everyone needs to love and be loved. God is the best example of love..and He loves LOVE. How would a God who loves relationship with human so much..wants to see us suffering because of these? He wouldnt want to..But how many are actually suffering because of failed relationships in this world? Plenty…at times it does not involve only the couple..and many times..its not only emotional suffer..every choice that we make will eventually lead to consequences which we have to bear.

Do you know that when God created human, He has created us so uniquely that there is one thing that separates us apart from all other creatures? It is the ability and freewill to CHOOSE. Choices are made by human..have we rethink about it when we always say.."I have no choice…"?

Was having a discussion of bouquets that fine morning..i was telling my fren that I only received bouquets once..which was during my convocation…(btw i got 5…hehe..and neither one is from a guy ok..thanks to all those who loved me so much..) Someone told me that i should go around and flirt..so that i will get more bouquets..hehe..we laughed through the topic..but deep in me..well..that still, small voice assures me of my convictions..of course..its not that everyone should think like i do..just that…i shall not make myself do something that i am not comfortable with…even if everyone else thinks that i should and i could…

…………………………..

Hey please dont start thinking that i am an anti-love-relationship freak ok..of course..like everyone else..i loved to be in love. I can start to tell about that warmth and romantic sides of love..there’s nothing wrong with romance. But in the true dictionary of love, which involves true commitment, it’s more than mere romance. I long to have, not only the romantic part of love..but one which will please Him and enrich one other throughout the journey..

He hears my prayers..He knows my heart..He understands me..and plans better than i do…

Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts…

..What is your definition of love?

1st Anniversary

Monday, June 18th, 2007

Today’s my 1st anniversary here..
To be accurate, not only 1st anniversary working in DC but also 1st anniversary since i started working.

Throughout this year i’ve really been growing a lot..physically..haha..mentally, spiritually and all i can see is a pair of graceful hands, always upholding me thru the times.
Last year, i remembered when i started working..i was timid, afraid of people, dare not speak for myself..bullied?? (no la..my colleagues are great..) i thank God that He sent people to teach, guide and help me all the time. The favour that i have from people that i work for and work with is something that has helped me all the time.

Seeing myself grow in DC..looking back its been a long way no doubt its only a short year. Specially wanna thank bosses and colleagues, for all the guidance and fun you guys had given me. Those belly aching laughter…gosh..dono how long will i have to live with it..hehe..And also thankful to my agapetos friends in GEPC..those who had walked with me and hold my hand..even when things in the whole world seem so dark..you guys have no idea one single sms and msn from you guys will help me a lot at times. thanks to godmum..who gave me shelter..n now that i’ve shifted out..thanks to B for all the help..not to forget my piggies sisters..i love you dearies..

Looking forward to a great year ahead? hahah..i’m positive about it..not because of the environment or people or even myself..Its because, because i know I can face tomorrow, with the source of strength, hope and love.

The journey…continues…

@ starbucks…

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

its been raining heavily outside for few hours…thank God that i’m lazing around in Starbucks with my girlfriend, the bad thing is, its sunday and we’re doing T…its been a tiring few weeks with all the things popping up @ work, family, cg…etc..etc.. Yet in times of buzyness i really liked this unwind time..

Rain stopped..can see ppl walking happily again…i suppose YanZi’s Meet-the-fans activity can now continue smoothly out there…

Coming week…tight schedule again…trainings and tenders, friend’s wedding, PS planning session, going here n there again…haha..not sure whether its a chance to relax? or will i get even more tired..

Gosh..my friend is getting married this week. Sometimes still so hard for me to believe but yet its true. I’m happy for her…and i already felt like its my sister getting married, and gosh..i’m having butterflies in my stomach..

MW..wish you n CC all the best even as you both get together and have the faith to walk together in this journey of love. It certainly needs a lot of patience and understanding to bring 2 person together. May you both have the peace n love to endure.

back to work…till then…cheers :)
