for everyone

    The past two weeks have gone by in a whirl. I have apparently undergone two of the most stressful transitions in life - moving house and getting married. Everything's still surreal - with the latest being our move to our beautiful new home yesterday. But what's on my mind is the special day 29 December 2007, which will forever be etched in my memories.

    It was a day filled with precious memories - of a church filled with many dear friends and relatives; of a ceremony sealed with a solemn vow; of a celebration of love, of song, of youth... Most of all it was a recognition of the God who has been the source of who we were, are and will be.

    I am deeply moved when I think of all the people who worked so hard to make our wedding day such a special one not only for us, but for all who came. We have since spoken to a number of people who came to the wedding. Many of them have shared that they were deeply moved and ministered by the love that was felt at the wedding. I know it was the love of God that they felt. And we are deeply thankful that the day was so special.

    It's still new adjusting to married life, and whenever someone asks about my marital status, I still find it strange telling them that I'm married and the husband to a wonderful woman. Also adjusting to the fact that I'm now the head of a new household with its share of ups and downs. That's all part of life I guess; and as my dear youth pastor Matthew shared during the wedding - there's no such thing as perfect people and definitely no such thing as a perfect marriage.

    I know that as the magic of the "honeymoon effect" gradually loses its shine and the realities of married life sink in, we'd probably have our fair share of difficult moments. I guess that's when we'd look back on that special day and remember the God who made all things possible for us; to cling to the biblical bridegroom and to remember that He will always be there for His beautiful bride.
