Time flies doesn't it. A few more months and I'll be Mrs Kuok. Sometimes thinking about it does freak me out a little. The changes that are coming-can be overwhelming sometimes.Suddenly have to jaga hubby, jaga house, jaga cooking and jaga kiddos next time.
And it doesn't help when people come up to me and say :" Why you want to marry so fast and so young?" And they give me the look like it's a bad, terrible thing to do. Hmmmm. I guess it depends what kind of values one holds. Most people will think it is better to get those Cs first...career, car, condo etc etc etc That is their definition of being "ready" to get married...finish seeing the world. One fella even told my dad that he is making a mistake marrying me off so early. Said why don't want to play around first, try other people first. You know what my dad replied? He said:"By the time you finish playing around with other people and you realize that the one you really love was the first one, well, it would be too late." Good reply dad. HAHA.
Of course it is different cause Jason is 6 years older. Then people go... OHHHHH ok la like that. No wonder. Hmmmm. Another one said that why you don't paktoh longer? 3 years only what.
When Jason and I first started dating, we already told each other that we won't date more than 3 years. 3 years is like the limit.And I'm glad the 3 years is up. We started dating each other with the intention to marry, and I'm glad things work out and yay we are finally getting married.
Look last time we look so young:
God is really a perfect match maker.Sometimes, most times in fact, we tell ourselves and tell God that we want this and that and this and that, want him to be tall la handsome la musically incline la romantic la thoughtful la active la understanding la blah blah blah... in our future spouse but we fail to let God decide what is really good for us. It is only when you let go and let God, that is when He will really surprise you. He knows what you need and MORE! And you realize that God has given you all that you need and even more than you asked, hoped and wanted.At least that was how it was for Jason and I and thus we really do thank God for each other. Cause to tell you the truth, we started going out as strangers. So it is really was by divine intervention that we discovered each other and how good God is to have given us what we need (and what we didn't know we need) in each other.To tell you the truth again, we have no idea why we started going out with each other as well...dunno what happen but it happened. Divine intervention I tell you.heh.
So I'm I ready? Yes I am. Ready to get on this roller coaster and ride it out with the person I love through all the ups and down. Yup. Ready to love, to continue loving, to forgive, to encourage, to accept each other's differences and appreciate em. Ready to serve one another and together.Ready to get angry at each other and overcome it. Yes, definately. Nobody said it is going to be easy or smooth. But I'm readying myself to be ready to face the challenges. And i quote someone who got married:" Oh yes it is challenging, but it is worth it! :) " Most importantly, ready to let God lead each step each day.

ReplyDeletei like it when you said it was divine intervention. sometimes, it's not the 'list of characteristics for MY future husband/wife' that matters the most. most importantly is trusting the Lord to lead to the person who can truly love you for the person you are. :) Thx for sharing. Hmm maybe I should put a time limit to stop dating and get married. good idea. lol.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, when you trust God he will lead you. :) i agree, go get married soonish...but I guess He will lead you in that area as well... God's timing IS perfect. :) haha. i am waiting!
