Life Update continued:
I got married one year ago in August and chose this song (How Great the Father's Love for Us) to walk down the aisle to. This song and the gravity of marriage, the symbolism of Christ, the Church and the Father's love, brought me to tears during my walk down the aisle. I could not stop crying until I reached the top and was in the arms of my husband to be. In those moments walking down the aisle, I thought of my soon to be husband who had pursued me, had forgiven me countless times and was willing to marry an imperfect woman such as myself - the beauty of it brought me to tears as I thought of the Father. That my Lord and God, Creator of the universe, had sent the world his only Son to pay the ultimate price at the Cross broke me down. This is the mystery alluded to in Ephesians 5. The beauty of marriage is in that Cross, and in that sacrifice. We, the Church are His Bride, we are the one pursued and loved despite of our sins. We don't deserve it, but we are forgiven and He has promised to bring us into eternal union with Him. My tears flowed without ceasing as I saw a glimpse of God's glory and His promise in the blurry vision of my groom at the front as he stood ready for me to join him at his side. To call that a profound moment would be an understatement. It was beyond anything that words can describe. God yearns and waits for us, and He is calling every one of us to His side. If you do not know the Lord, pray and invite Him into your life. You might be surprised by the results. He will come and He will change everything you know forever. Amen.

Hi everyone!
It's been 3 years since my last post! I can hardly believe it! It's been a very long journey but it's been very fruitful time in the Lord. I have not lost my faith, but instead, it has strengthened! I became very busy (and that is the major reason I put aside this blog). I have many life updates that I will give in due time. I'm thinking of reconfiguring this website and updating a few things so I can slowly return to posting on here. It will be different this time and excited to see what God wants me to say to you. I will keep this update brief and end on a positive note. Isaiah 43:19 (NIV) See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. |
