..my battle stance..

I once illustrated to someone what.. I think.. marriage is about. and she asked me.. where did you quote those words from? probably she thought those words were kinda.. too cool to come out from my mind. Ah.. but.. there is something you don't know girl. The thing is.. I have seen enough case of failed. broken, tarnished marriages. in my own way, I once was on my knees.. Praying and fighting to keep a marriage alive. in fact.. where 20-30 yrs old marriage is concerned.. I have not seen a perfect one. Anything close to that.. I merely heard about them. from the pulpit. Hence.. my belief. hence.. I. so today.. I was wondering.. well I thought I understood relationship and marriage. What I didn't understood apparently.. is courtship. It's the 'game'. Hated to play along. And I fail miserably. till today. So..at this juncture.. when heart is bare naked, and life is laid down. and all I get.. is.. a request. Well... I told my chat-till-morning-pgp-go...

I had about 4-5 paragraphs written about the recent article that went viral, and the responding article. The one about marriage. That it's not for me, and it's for us, bla bla bla. Then I deleted everything. What's the point right? If such articles could save relationships and marriages, well.. I dunno.. I guess it takes so much more than motivational stories. So what's the point of me commenting? Having said that.. there is this story that I always always remember.. http://www.snopes.com/glurge/carry.asp (I read the original version, without the tragic end). Maybe because I kinda wept when I read it first time hah.

This blogger is funny! especially her blind date stuff. Hah.. http://behindthebasics.blogspot.sg/

They have this saying, it's always darkest before dawn. In our walk with God, the moment when it seems absolutely impossible for our prayer to be answered is usually that defining moment when miracle is just about to happen. The moment when we sigh, "I am finished.." is the moment when He come and remind us, "It's done." That moment when we have no choice but to surrender.. He comes to deliver. And how timely is His deliverance. Never too late. And somehow.. never too early either. Think about Jairus (Luke 8). How beautiful was that story. This man was begging for Jesus' help to come and heal his dying daughter. Jesus duly obliged. But as they made their way to his house, something happened. The bleeding woman. In itself it was such a beautiful tale. It was not so much about how she was healed when she touched his garment, to me. But how Jesus actually made a point to stop. And looked for her. More than miracle, she needed that persona...
