What God has united let men not divide.
Well, i attended a wedding on Saturday morning. I wasn't related to the anyone but it was my church unc;e's son's wedding. haha. I went because i haven't been to a wedding, especially one held in church for a long time.
I felt very excited when i got there. Haha. Not sure why. But it certainly was a very auspicious day where everyone puts on their best smile..NOT because they have to but because there is no reason not to.
It. Is. A. Wedding.
I was thinking why i was so excited for someone's wedding more than my cousin's when he had his. ( Not that i wasn't excited. ) Then it all occurred to me. Maybe it was because this wedding was held at a church. Some how, it seems a hundred times more meaningful than any other forms of wedding..BTW, my cousin had his in KL. And my mum said we didn't have to go. Fine la.. now i regret..a little.
HAHA. Next thing on the agenda,
Today, during youth in church, we had an interesting session. We talked about the "Ideal Mate". I know. Quite off-key, lame and all right. But i have got to agree that it was really enlightening. I mean, shouldn't you know some things you want to have in the 'opposite gender'. so called. Not just in your partner la, but in normal friends. Or good friends, friends you would wana hang out with. Got me thinking there. " This is the first time i actually thought about it. If it wasn't for this session, would i have even thought about it?" The answer : Most probably not. I'm sure most people are like that. They actually just go through life like that. I do too. Having friends but sometimes not bothering to know the kind of influence they might have on you. Here, i'm not saying u have to choose your friends. I think you should be friends and a be a good friend to everyone. But, here's my catch. Don't get to close to people whom you think don't bring good influence upon your life...with good reasons of course. =P
Which brings me to the topic of freinds.
Last night, i had to confess to a freind to a friend about some bad things lo. I HOPE SHE WILL FEEL BETTER SOON. =D
Well, as i was saying. The thing kinda involve some lies here and there. This that, this that. Can't exactly explain too much for now. But, i certainly can explain this.
1. Be a good friend. I must say, sometimes its really hard for us ( trust me i have recently found out ). Well, by telling my friend the stuff like i did, i might have become an untrustworthy person to some. But, i think it was worth it. A lot. It lifted her spirits. At least i hope it did. =P
What i am trying to say is know where you stand between friends. That does not mean take sides. But, be a friend you think you would want. You know, "do unto others what you want others to do unto you". Dont be a SUPERFICIAL friend.
2. Also, lend a ear. To anyone. And make sure they know it. Especially your friends. I just found out that i can be very ignorant to others. but, try it. I found that a small does go a LONG WAY. =P A friend in need is a friend indeed, right?
3. Try to be yourself. Be true to yourself. Well, not that you aren't. In a way it means not being shy in expressing your views. Or. Just simply knowing them. And others say something you don't entirely agree upon, don't just agree. Or disagree, Think a bout. Make the best effort to compromise without losing stand in what you belief in.
I have realise something.
I have come to a point where i talk crap.
Well anyways... Got one more thing i just found out lo. Or two. Make it 5.
4. I should not marry a non- Christian. To some of you it may sound lame. Like.. if i'm one, i don't really mind that my spouse isn't or whatever ever la. Well, learnt that in the Old Testament strictly does not approve/encourage?( not sure ) us to marry people of other religions. Given the reasons, i trust that doing that is right. I use to not really care. But, i guess if it is important to God, it should be important to me too. This somehow makes marrying in church super d meaningful and special now.
5. Making the right decision is vital. Even though it might not seem so in the short run.
Well, i think these are the few things i have come to realise the past week. Have you learnt something applicable in you life lately? =P Cause i sure did.
Hope everyone will have a great week ahead and good luck in exams..which goes to me too! =P
Lastly,
I wana say that Christmas is coming soon!
And my bra-ther, SEAN CHANG FANG is coming back on December 19! Hip hip hooray! =P
Cheeers! =P
