Well, before I share about the dramatic week I had, it is apt that I make some comments on certain observations some of you have made and asked me privately.
Yes, the 600 page thick book is a gem and it cost GBP25. It is hardback! And nope, its not too heavy.
And my thoughts on bgr and marriage is not really a secret to people who have seen my journey through this year. Ask M, and you'll know what it has been for us! I kid you not! These are not my ideals but reality, and what I've written down are my own original thoughts (I dare say!) I've shared abt it before with the teens. I've shared abt it before with my accountability group. I've even shared abt it with my sis and my parents! I guess I never blogged abt it before cos it is not something you kinda just share about randomly. It always has to be timing, and whether its something God put on my heart to write abt. So thank you for positively telling me to share more things in my journey on womanhood, relationships and marriage. I will do so as I journey on in my relationships and in my mentoring development if that's something God lays on my heart.
Yeah, its proverbs 31 - u can read all books on womanhood, they all originate from there!
I've only read ONE book on womanhood, the rest are through the counsel and testimonies of those who have help me see the light in a once pretty unhealthy thought process and even messy entanglements i have had. Thank God for these spiritual ladies He has brought into my life and the work of the Spirit in allowing me to reflect, react and respond to God's perspective of making my paths straight in what was swerving deep inside me.
Okay, the other thing - C is a dear friend not someone who has a distaste for men (happy??) C is just a great observer of behaviour - psychologist at heart and really I believe has got it spot on in sharing the cautions of email/chatroom/facebook/friendster relationships. Also, C reminded me to note - just look at the culture today how grown men tend to swerve to younger ladies for a want of something - and young ladies naturally give in and they think its all fun and no harm (because their hormones have not peak to desperate measures!) C even sent me the statistics and the study that was made!! Joy...isn't it great?? I've got really cool friends, don;t i?
I love quotes! And its funny how quotes come to you and you jot it down. I don't hunt for them. So, nope - I can't give you my resources for online quotes cos I don;t use them! Its my own personal collection in my quote journal. So whenever I read a book or I come across a quote, I'll write it my journal based on the season and topic and author. Maybe I shd retail it.
And for the more personal side, I really believe that what God brought and joint together, no one can separate. My parents are totally different people but they share the same passion and values in their core. And how do I know my dad loves my mom?? I see it in the way he prays for her each day without fail. All the other things he does is secondary to the ONE very thing that has made our family such a delight because my dad leads on His knees.
I believe they are both very happy for me now, at my life stage to see me embrace a journey that they've far long desired for me, and that time is never lost (sometimes I felt I've wasted years!) when I truly believe our GOD has perfect timing and His timing is the BEST!
Okay. I think that's all answered!
Well, glad this blog entry has shown so much interest...and it at least lets me know my friends who signed up to receive the blog are still reading. If at any point your mailbox is needing more room, just email me and will take you off. At the end of the day, it really just an avenue to share a journey NOT anything else. And I am privileged to know some of you really are sharing it so closely.
and yes, if you've not heard from emails or speaking to me already, I'll tell u all about my freak accident that landed me in hospital later (aft I have my dinner!). My spirits were exceptional high though and I'm all better now though there is still no actual diagnosis!
Happy Birthday to W in HK, to J in Msia, to K in Norway!

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. She openeth her mouth with wisdom: and in her tongue is the law of kindness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
