A month full of weddings...

Phew! this June is really a busy month for me... not in my work.. but busy attending weddings! Never in my life did I receive so many wedding invitations that are all falling within 2 weeks ( I have a total of 5, and 2 actually fall on the same day! )


Nevertheless, though my purse seems to be much much lighter this month, yet, at the same time, I am so happy to see my friends finding their life time partner. Seeing them walking down the aisle with the blissful smiles on their faces, it just bring a touch of loveliness and warmth in my heart. At those moments, I could almost feel their joy, and their anxiousness and their heartbeats beating away... these are friends that I have known for years, especially for Weiping and Christina (they have actually known each other for 11 Years! and throughout all these years, God continue to show himself faithful in their relationship and just draw the 2 of them together to start the next chapter of their lives. Another lovely couple is none other than my secondary school buddy, Serene and Peter. Though I never knew Peter personally, but I can always see the beam of love shining from Serene's face whenever she mention Peter. And of course, on her wedding day itself, I could almost feel my tears sipping out of the corner of my eyes, as the 2 of them recite their vows, vowing to take each other as their husband/wife.


Of course, where there is union of lives, there is also separation. I got to know of a couple who started dating since JC-1 days. So if you do your mathematics, this is a couple who have been together for almost 9 years. Yet, the sad truth is that after 9 years of courtship, they decided to call it a day. And all because of the word Committment!


Within a span of 2 weeks, I truly see how commitment can be such a dangerous word. No wonder so many people are so so afraid of this word. In our daily lives, we can see so many different cases of people, who decide to drop out of what they are doing, because they want to be free. They do not want to be committed to the things they are doing, or the relationship that they are in, or the faith and God that they believe in.


People are so afraid to commit, because they do not want to tie themselves down, because they want to sought after the freedom which they consider to be able to do what they like at when they want to. Yet, what joy is it to enjoy such freedom, when you have no one to share the joy with you? I can never never understand couples who find themselves so estranged in a relationship, and they begin to get so frustrated, because they are not able to get what they want out of the relationship.


There are also some people on this planet earth, who can give loads and loads of excuses, just to explain themselves why they should not be committed to what they are doing. To me, sorry to say, its loads of craps! Staying committed is a decision and a conviction. Its much easier to stay committed than to find excuses to cover yourself on why you should not be committed, don't you agree??


But to me, who ever told you that in a relationship, you are to be like a sponge and just keep taking from your partner, you will find that you will never be satisfied in the relationship. Until you start to learn to give in a relationship, you will never truly understand the meaning of LOVE. Pastor Kong always say this, You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving. When you truly love someone, you will have no qualms about giving to him/her, to make him/her happy.
