Perseverance

As much as Raymond and I love each other, our marriage life is definitely not a bed of roses all the time. Going through the many ups & downs, we survived to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary recently on 9 December 2011!

Amidst our many differences and trials, I truly believe that "what God has bind, He will not separate", because God's words have indeed been fulfilled when He blesses us with the gift of parenthood! Blessed with the gift of Raychelle whom both Raymond and I love dearly, we realise that Raychelle is the fruit of our love, and both our blood runs in this little being to bind us, two unrelated beings, together. God's work is truly amazing!

Recently I had the privilege to have lunch fellowship with a Priest & 2 other colleagues, and was enriched by the Priest's generous sharing. One take-back from the sharing which I will remember in my heart dearly is that the Priest shared that in a marriage or even in anything we want to do, "commitment" is not the key word, instead it is "Perseverance"! Quoting the Priest, "A man can be committed to his marriage, but he'unfaithful to his wife" versus "both parties persevere to make the marriage work"!

I thank God with all my heart for speaking to me through the Priest! Amen!
