1. God is funny

Time is passing pretty fast huh. 5 more months to go to a entirely new phase in life. Well, in light of "getting ready" for it, 3 things has been popping up quite often.

1. God is funny ( in an absolutely wonderful way! *not like the comic below)




2. I've been getting this a lot: "you guys are the most relaxed couple I've seen"




3. I've been asked this many times too: "are you ready ah?"




1. Firstly, why is God funny?

Just the other day, before we started counseling, we were going for one of our walks are talking, having an in depth discussion about who we should ask to do counseling for us. I must say, we were being quite THE choosy la. "This one cannot la...not our type; and that one quite ok also but might not be so suitable; twat one possible what hor what don't know if it's in his jobscope. Hmmm...let's ask twat one first, then that one 2nd, but THIS one definitely we will ask last la"

But nooooo... guess what? I bet God was giggling to himself because...

The VERY NEXT DAY, THIS one approached us quite suddenly and asked us when we are free to start counselling and say that although THAT one would love to do it but they might not be very free to do it. ( and TWAT one is completely out of the question cause he doesn't do in the first place).

We were quite taken aback. I mean, what are the chances of everything being solved in like, what, 1 minute; and we took like maybe out WHOLE walk to talk about it. And the very one that we decided not to ask, ASKED us.

We looked at each other, smiling, our hearts giggling and our eyes were saying to each other
" Very funny God, You knew this would happen right...God, You are funny."

But looking back, we wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Our counselors are really the best there is. And they really are the best- for us.

Similarly, just the other day, we were talking about being hospitable to other people and we both agreed that we are really not good at it and would really like to learn to be more hospitable to others next time when we have a place of our own.

AGAIN, Lo and Behold, the VERY NEXT DAY, our counselor SUDDENLY brought up the issue of hospitality. I couldn't help but laugh out loud, till the counselor asked if I wanted to say something. What are the chances la, the subject is not even in the syllabus that we are going through. I guess God opened our hearts to talk about it and also prompted our counselor to bring it up, in order to further teach us the very essence of being hospitable.

Interestingly enough, when we planned to have our ceremony in HKMCKL church in town, one of the rules of the church is that the pastor of that church would have to register us. And guess what we just found out? No one in our church can register us because the gov has taken the back the license. Talk about perfect timing. God even Gaotim that for us even before we had the chance to worry about who can register us. Hehe.



God really does know what is best for us and is faithful to provide in everything, even when we don't know what we need, or don't know it YET. In spite of us trying to take matters into our own hands, over and over again God has proven that He is in control, He sees the bigger picture, and in His prefect timing He will show us the way and lead us.

Just like the verse in Proverbs 16: 9 The mind of man plans his ways, but God directs his steps.



I'll get to no.2 and no.3 another day.
As well as a sneak peak into the book of "building lasting relationships". It is really good for people who are in a relationship, helpful and a guaranteed healthy relationship if both are willing to put it into practice.
