~May Your Light Shine :D~

If you have seen my MSN nick, you would have gone, “Hmm, just weeks ago she was still unattached, and now she is dating, and planning to get married?!”

Or maybe you did not even notice that.

Or perhaps you forgot that you had me as a friend.

Whatever might be the case, let me clarify. Firstly, yes, I am a little AS – Attention Seeking. That is why I purposely put up obviously misleading stuff, like the time I said I got kissed by the cutest boy in camp (he was 5, and absolutely adorable), hoping to get some reaction from some people. But unfortunately it seems no one cares.

However, I do not put such stuff up without reason. I was talking to a friend and asking her what she was doing for the holidays. So she said she is going on a honeymoon with God/Jesus. Cuz last year they got married, but forgot to honeymoon, so God just reminded her that they still have to go on a honeymoon.

That got me thinking into the relationship I have with Christ. True Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship with God, our Creator. Which means it is possible to think about our relationship in human terms as well. So I thought about it and felt that I am still dating Him, getting to know Him, enjoying His company, falling in love with Him. However, I feel that it is time I make a decision to commit my life to Him, hence I am planning to marry Him soon. Get it? Though in this case, it will not be till death do us part, but for eternity.

That’s a pretty long time isn’t it? But then again I would rather spend eternity with God than with anybody else. Cuz only He can stand my nonsense for that long, He made me anyway, including my idiosyncrasies. He would never file for separation or divorce. The only person who would possibly walk out of this relationship is me. It’ll be stupid of me, but we all do stupid things sometimes. I could get pissed at Him being all-knowing, cuz He really does know EVERYTHING. But I’ll forgive Him for making the sky so blue, the beautiful sunset and practically everything wonderful around me. I could also get frustrated for Him bringing me to places I do not want to go, making me do things I do not feel comfortable with. But when I look back, I realized those things made me a better person and even when the going was tough, He carried me through.

Do you know how long is eternity? I don’t. But I do know that we only have this short lifetime to choose where we would be for eternity. Once we take our last breath, that’s it. Our eternal future is set. Scary ain’t it? People buy insurance to plan for their future. Likewise, shouldn’t we all plan for eternity?

Btw, I’ve got a baby!

Another bombshell.

U probably think staying in Australia has degraded my morals. Now I’m gonna have a shotgun marriage.

Or you probably think I dun really mean it.

But I do, this time!

I adopted a child from Honduras (in Central America). He is turning 4 in Sept and his name is Angel. I went through this organization called Compassion (www.compassion.com.au), which is like World Vision. I got him only on my 3rd try. It seems the website does not like me, cuz the previous 2 kids I chose were actually already chosen by someone else. I was beginning to think maybe God does not want me to give my money to this cause. But I decided to give another try, so when they called and asked if they could choose one for me instead, I told them that I’d prefer a child between 5-6 yrs old and perhaps with a birthday on the 18 of any month. And the child chosen for me is Angel. I haven’t seen the child yet, they will be sending me more info on him soon.

Tiffa asked if it was required of my course to adopt a kid and no it wasn’t. But it has always been my heart’s desire to help a child somewhere round the world in poverty. For I have been blessed with more than enough, and I feel that it is only right to pass the blessings to those who aren’t as fortunate. For $50 a month, it will probably mean less recreation like movies and eating out for me. But to the child it makes a world of difference. The money can be multiplied greatly. Even if I am unable to help all the children in poverty, at least I can make a difference to one. Who knows, maybe next time I would be financially able to sponsor more kids =)
