and just like that, summer comes.
mid year..where we stand between early and late.
i took less 'day off', less 'TV on' this year.
not that I work particularly harder.
but I work with somewhat greater focus, I think.
it's enjoyable. never thought I would say that about work.
I remember I told my mentor that I sometimes worry about my lack of networking skill.
and he told me he always believes that God will take care of his network.
it just sinks deep in me. that simple statement.
a good friend just referred to me a client out of nowhere few days ago.
I wouldn't have envisioned such scenario. but truly God has his way of looking after our needs.
it's quite funny how money or financial need is probably ranked no. 1 as the culprit that causes our anxiety or even breakdown of family relationship or friendship.
it could be a (or THE) factor that makes you decide whether to marry someone or not.
baby sometimes love's just ain't enough :)
why funny?
because if we think about it, that is one of the easiest blessings that God could ever give us.
a friend half jokingly told me,
"i may love God, but when it comes to money matter, i can lose my common sense too."
i told her i like her honesty. really.
lets just stop putting up those wise quotes on IG/pinterest lah as if we are some enlightened bunch of sparrows that Jesus talks about.
it is not easy to see beyond money.
but yeah.. by His grace, may we learn to live like the sparrows.
day by day. bit by bit. phew...
my uncle asked me the other day..
'what then are the most important things that you look for in your future wife?
coz trust me.. many of the things you thought matter much, would not matter in the end."
I am not sure what he looked for.
I only know his wife, as far as we can see as outsiders, is very beautiful, filial, and modest.
#$#@%^#Q$$% and you still say like that bro! -__-"
with my limited knowledge (since I'm not married yet),
I told him..
'let's just be honest first of all. the appearance matters.
not that I have specific criteria for 'beauty' but got to like her look also mah.
(or else, i will lie to her every time she asks me if she is pretty or not)
and then.. the virtue part. modesty, genuine modesty.. is rare.
so besides all the cliche character qualities, this is one thing that stands out for me.
not that it has to be there. but that is special.
and then.. intelligent mind. somehow that is just so attractive.'
I do feel like I have met this person.
but what do I know right? :)
His will be done.
