We’ve decided some time ago to start a site where both of us can blog. Snippets of life, lessons learnt, reflections …. We chose wordpress because we have heard of its more elaborated functionality, basically can do more stuffs with it. This also meant more adapting, cracking of my not very IT in tuned mind, but who says life isn’t a challenge? Challenges in life often ‘kick’ us out of comfort zones, to grow and improve. This is exactly what is happening, such sophisticated (to some may be as simple as ABC) tools like the widgets, forces me to read and try to understand. Well, hope i’m getting there.
Marriage calls for adapting too. No longer staying out to anytime, anywhere (not that i am a late nite out birdie), no longer settling for instant noodles just because i don’t feel like cooking. All these are mere lil examples and i guess the bulk of adapting comes through understanding of one anothers’ needs, feelings, learning to work together much closer in ministry, and the hardest of all understanding and constant working out of expectations and communicating in such a deep level, a level where besides God, the husband comes next in line. All in all, this adapting has taught me thus far to cherish and to give; To learn to give thanks to God for the man He has given; To be humble enough to say sorry …
This journey will go on, and with God, i know this new phase we have embarked upon will teach and cause us to be better people. To learn to agree with the Holy Spirit, with each other and let our flesh die to self centredness and indifference.
Haha incase you felt the heaviness of the sharing, i would like to quanlify that marriage life so far has been great. Despite the adapting, i have to say, i love to wake up and know that someone’s next to me, and that with a slight mumble of ‘backache’ massages comes along. I love this man who has willingly made changes to his life, just so that he gets a ‘happy wife’ ; to know too that though there will be times of conflicts, you know you can work through and iron it and not have to think whether he is the one, because we have already said “i do”.
