A couple of weekends ago, Liz was talking to Kim Ann who encouraged us to enjoy courtship first and not go for PMC yet.
I don’t know. Everyone’s seems to have the impression that there isn’t or it isn’t possible to have courtship .. in the process of marriage .. or in the marriage itself. It’s odd.
Maybe things change so much when people get married that .. they feel that there’s no courtship. On contrary, I still see married couples who still enjoy themselves the same, probably more (since they’re married .. ya know .. *wink) than some unmarried couples that I know.
Maybe Kim Ann and Kenneth are coming from the POV where they got together quite late, and probably didn’t have much time to court.
I don’t know. There’s so much more to learn.
Affirmation has never been something natural to me. Maybe it’s because of my upbringing but the other day over dinner, Liz pointed out to me that I’ve been more caring and sensitive towards her. It was really affirming, to hear it from her.
Then I began to realize that I have been spending more time with her, often affirming her with gestures and physical actions. I guess it’s also in her nature that she loves being held and hugged.
God’s changing me, not only my love towards her but also towards others. I suppose .. apart from moving on with ministries and life, I guess my mannerisms, perceptions and mindsets are also moving on. I’m beginning to see needs of those who are around me, and somehow there’s a desire to help them fulfill those needs, or lead them to God who will ultimately be their source of hope and living water. Somehow, I feel like I’m almost automatically relating to their current situation and then feel compelled to reach out to them.
I’ve been learning much about love and care from my relationship with Liz. It’s somehow .. subtle, but the effects are popping up here and there.
And I can only thank God.
Hmm.. speaking of finances, I should be investing in an insurance policy now. Su has an agent to recommend .. so will prolly look into it.
I’m so blur la .. about finances. I have a feeling Liz is going to manage all the finances .. for us.
She didn’t graduate with an accounting and finance degree for nothing .. right?
Was over at Ken and KimAnn’s place “secretly” .. hehe .. and told Kenneth about the ring and some plans I had in my mind. He was a little (like .. literally little ya?) apprehensive .. and suggested that I propose according to .. how events unfurl rather than be bound to a date for the proposal.
PMC for the young adults will prolly start in April, in which I think Liz and I will enrol for it. With some plans in place for me to save money this year, hopefully, by mid next year .. we’ll be married.
030609 sound like a good date? 3rd of June, 2009. When faced with the question,”What are your resolutions for this year?”, I’d reply ..
To save RM12,000.
Or if I can’t .. at least RM10,000. Be practical.
By God’s grace and provision la .. ya?
Sacrificing a comfortable ride with one that’ll save me RM1,000 a month.
For you, love. Because I love you.
