after thinking for a long time, after a lot of self-searching and self-reflections, considering all the possible challenges and difficulties, all the learning opportunities, the satisfaction that comes with it....
I just need to make sure (something that I have to be very sure of), that I am doing this for the right reasons.
And this verse has repeatedly popped up in my mind the last couple of days: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
Tonight after having dinner at Shiang Garden, I went out to the parkade, and guess what? I forgot where I parked, AGAIN!!!! I first went out on the 3rd level (WRONG!), then went to take the elevator, checked 4th and 5th levels(WRONG AGAIN! However, I was very thankful that the couple in the elevator waited for me to check the levels)....I gave up in the end and walked down from the 5th level, checking every level, until I reach the 2nd level, where I found my car....*embarrassed*
So I had this weird dream, after watching Spiderwick Chronicles (good movie, btw) with a bunch of my friends from fellowship:
I was at a restaurant eating all-you-can eat buffet, with a few of my friends from HK whom I haven't seen for quite a while. We were lining up for fresh raw oysters (all-you-can eat fresh raw oysters! sweet! ) and they ran out. All my friends managed to get one except me!!! After all my friends left happily with their raw oysters, I noticed this mini geoduck (only a little bit bigger than the size of my palm, yeah, that's why I call it mini). "ooh, even better..." I thought, and I asked the server to cut some for me.
Then comes the weird part, as the server was cutting up the geoduck, it gave out a high-pitched squeal, and the thing started to shake. The "thing" came out as a slimy little creature with huge eyes (like the aliens) and tentacles. Ewww!!!! And then I woke up.....
Two things to note about this dream : 1. I really miss seeing my friends in HK 2. I really want to have all-you-can-eat fresh raw oysters (I looked everywhere when I was in Vegas to see if there's a buffet with fresh raw oysters and I found none )
I am beginning to like this song more and more! (Except for
the bridge, coz I don’t think that part makes sense, but nowadays, it’s rare to
find a Chinese pop song that MAKES SENSE…hehe)
A few days ago, I was being asked this question: “Why should people get
marry?”At the moment, I couldn’t quite
put words to my thoughts, so I kept thinking about the question afterward even
though I have kinda given an answer.
And then I thought of this song!Honestly, I think it might be hard to “dance” in the same rhythm at all
times in a relationship, since the two would have brought in their own rhythms
and these rhythms most likely won’t match.But when the two love each other dearly and are willing to commit the rest of their
lives to the other person, they go on a life-long learning journey TOGETHER. From finding the person's rhythm, to trying to match it, to being able to match it once in a
while (being a bit too realistic here), this whole process involves humbling oneself plus A LOT of forgiveness
and patience.It’s a training!Even so, I still think it would be an enjoyable process, to
be able to go through the ups and downs in life together.
