Docked & Anchored
Voyage of the Bridey is finally over! Phew, that was a long journey, sailing.
Now, my ship has finally docked and i can throw down the anchor at island ( ok, cliche, but...) "Paradise".
The docking at the "jetty" ( Walking down the Aisle ) was an amazing one.
When I look at the people that matter the most to me, and when I look at the huge megagodzilla cross in front of me... it brought me to tears ( PHEW if you didn't see the bride's watering eyes on that day ). I could only bare to look at those 2 things for a few seconds each time, else my tears would have really DESTROYED my makeup. HAHA.
I guess the best part of the wedding was that overwhelming intense feeling of utter thankfulness and joy in the heart that THIS IS THE DAY INDEED.
Like when you've been sailing for a long time and you finally see land.
Or like you've been walking in the desert and you finally see water.
I wonder if that's how Noah felt.
THANK YOU ALL for helping make the wedding happen!
Back to "Paradise"...
Hey, who said paradise is all blissful. Take a look at the beautiful paradise of Pandora in Avatar. Beauty comes with a price. Dangerous creatures lurk in the shadows, danger awaits in those places you least expect, in places where beauty is at its best.
YES, paradise comes hand in hand with danger.
What one needs to do it learn how to live amidst beauty and danger.
If danger throws itself at you...learn to conquer and overcome it together;
( Think fighting the creatures of Pandora...whatever their names are )
If you throw yourself at danger...learn to pick yourself up and master over it, encouraging each other along the way;
( Think learning to ride the Medusa Aerocoelenterates flying dragon thingy in Avatar with the lady Avatar)
And if you need to save the world that the both of you have created together, take that risk and do what you have to do!
( Think conquering the Great Leonopteryx the biggest most powerful flying dragon thingy in Avatar)
Then, you can truly look at the horizon and soak in all its beauty.
Indeed, challenging but worth it!
It is just the beginning, but each day has been full of thankfulness.
Actually, to tell you the truth, it still feels like we are dating, except we come home to each other each day and take care of each other. :)

May The Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! :)
Looking forward to see your honeymoon pics..
This is how it should feel like when it's right...like nothing changed...
ReplyDeletecongrats again. you had a wonderful and most beautiful wedding. :)
ReplyDeleteYou and Jason are a true epitome of match made by God. A partnership and marriage full of thankfulness shows that to be true.
ReplyDeleteHowever little we see Jason (because he's the busiest among us - last to come back to work but most to do), we still see how any busy man in true love should be - frazzled, weary around the mouth, but skin and eyes still glowing....can't hide, can't hide....
thank you christine! haha... he looks forward to come home everyday! and i try make sure he gets a good dinner when he does come home. :) i do enjoy doing all that for him. :D
ReplyDeletebtw, tell manveen we are doing a good job, AHAHAHAHA. but yes, thankful indeed that god has blessed us with a good relationship and we pray we will go through the years ever stronger ever thankful.
When you look back, you will find your wedding day the day that you love each other LEAST. Because you will add onto it every day. You may not be happy THE WHOLE DAY, but you would be happy everyday as long as you keep praying and be thankful for each other.
