Today post is very rare and special for I seldom post this out so openly.
But ever since a few days back, when I commented on David Oh's blog on his latest new book that is going to be out in Dec, it reminded me many things that I often feel amazed of as I read of his blog entries.
David Oh's blog is called Cafe David, I remembered the 1st time I came across his blog was about 2-3 years back.
I was pretty amazed and realised that he was from CHCKL.
It is such a honor to add him in multiply and has him to come to my multiply a few times to view.
Today, he is one of the most amazed talented person in Malaysia. Even as I went on a mission trip with the medical team from CHCKL, one of the girls was asking me whether I knew him or not and she started to share with me how impactful his wedding has been in Malaysia and what he has done in Malaysia.
Indeed, never belittle the person that you know right now, for who knows who they will become one day?
But what amazed me is this book...
His blog has always been an inspiration to me.
It's not only talked about relationships, but also talked about relating to people, various things of the world, about God and Spiritual Growth and as I reread some entries, I was inspired to do more for my Spiritual Growth and I gained new ideas to grow myself.
And... As I stumbled across this entry about his new book, I can't help but shared about how I wish I can get hold of it and he replied and said... the 1st book was featured in Attributes Bulletin in Sept 09.
I was amazed, beyond anything else.
"Oh my" is the description I can give to myself for missing it.
Well, to think about it, what make me want to get this book because whenever David talked about relationships, I felt that unlike all those books that my CGLs, friends read and recommended, what he wrote is very true...
The ways to building relationships and finding partner isn't just as simple as others thought.
I always taught people, wanna find a partner? Best is through making friends and instead of plain liking.
David wrote many times in his blog before he found his future partner that it is about being friends and best... be the best of friends which is = Best Friend.
Many seem to think that it seem irk, impossible.
But, when think about it, taking away the feeling, if the foundation is not strong, what is left behind is just plain memories of those happy moments. That itself isn't enough to bring us through the dry seasons and tough times in a relationship.
And today, I proudly announced that, no matter what happened, I strongly believed that before having a relationship, being friends that understand one another and accept one another strengths and weaknesses is such an important foundation that can never be let go.
Just plain dating and plain love can't bring us through fires.
But unconditional love and acceptance just like what Jesus give us is what make a love beautiful.
Reading David's blog once again remind me of why I am so willing to wait until the day I found the right one.
Because very simple, God is a very patient God.
He is never hurry.
Even as I decided to give my teenage years to follow Him and to learn how to be obedient, I realised that ultimately, I decided to choose this road, not because it make me holy, not because it is me special, but because I learnt to fully rely on God even if I am alone.
It is no longer about position, statue but a heart that is wholly after Him.
That is one reason why I love to attend wedding even if it isn't easy.
Many who attended it which the wedding is theirs.
And who knows, maybe I thought this way too...
But one day, when it is my wedding, I want to say to the world that, I has wholly follow Jesus and He sent someone just as He promised that will walk with me to fulfill our calling together, the one who I waiting for all these while, just like what Cliff always taught us that True Love Waits.
And despite good times and bad times, it is God who is at the center.
The day will come... And for now, the focus is toward the discipline of the Spiritual matters! =)Labels: Love
