Xin's Wedding
29th Oct 2005
went back to my previous church in my teens years.
no familiar faces around except a few.
was surprised to see apple there, she's was also invited coz she's xin's colleague.
waht a small world.
praise and worship, but everyone seems to be tense, was the wedding atmosphere?!
was disappointed not able to be xin's "sister" for her wedding, should be quite fun, thankful junie and jer blinn were there to help her too.
not all were there.
brenda, juliana, weiwen, fengpin, yumei were not there. only half of the team.
those of the days....teen days.
met the "boys" team too...the table tennis girls and boys...haha...was surprised by a few "unfamiliar" faces...we have all changed. one was "expanding" quite significantly, almost all couldnot recognise him. hee. ( Geoffrey)
funny how we recall all those teens days...some were embarrassing....:P
but it was very good time to know some are in same family of God, though in different churches.
( alvin, zhi chao) and we still call one another with the nicknames we used to give to one another...a "Justice Bao" among us...when i sw him, i naturally called him by the nickname, of course, recd a few puzzled looks from the people there...haha....
then among the "boys" team, there was one missing. we all sort of miss him, in a way we are quite curious how he's doing. the most decent, responsible and quiet among the team. hee, and they also naturally turn to me and asked me. but i have no answer for tt. lost contact with him since the last time i saw him at NTU.....we all hope he's well.
interesting moments with them.....those are the years....hope better and meaningful years to come.
pastor shared a simple message about true love:
1) Love unconditionally
2) love sacrificially
3) love eternally
Like what Jesus Christ has loved us. we ought to love like Him.
so much still to learn and love like He does....
a few significant moments at this wedding i was very touched.
1) both kneeled down facing each other. Pastor prayed for them. MC was trying to get us distracted by saying things on the other side etc...then i caught william praying for xin, and xin too, said prayer for him. it was a weding committed to the Lord and before the Lord.
they took the Holy communion together.
2) the mother of the couple took a candle each from the candle stand of only three. then they pass on to the other of the couple, and both of them together, with the lighted candle lit up the one centre candle. Symbolising previously both are individual lives, but now they are one, as like the light in the centre one candle, that cant be separated.
3) the song willaim sang for xin, which was a surprise for xin. "Beautiful in my eyes" haha, really, though his voice was not very beautiful, but his sincerity was indeed more than enough to touch her heart, coz she's was in tears then....xin, be bless, and pray that the Lord will contd to lead u two in this God-centred marriage.
it was wonderful to see a beautiful marriage, not in terms of the decorations, not in the faces of the bride or bridegroom etc....but in the beauty that it was one that is committed to the Lord. one that the Lord is in it. one that they would contd to walk on this journey fully letting Lord be centre in thier marriage.
got me thinking a lot of things....
for people and for myself.
set an anchor for myself few months back.
n i well remember those things i told You.
help me to be a faithful servant to keep to my words.
it would not be easy but i know You will be my guide.
diffcult to let go and i know if i clasp my hands tight with this now, i cant open my hands to hold the many more blessings You want to give me.
the anchor based on Your word and values and beliefs indeed assured me of the eternity and the perfection of Your plan.
thank You for Your promises, for they always give me hope and joy.
this will be a training ground for refining my character and to know myself more....
rem You spoke to me the last time,
To Love is to give the best to the other.
God, may You richly blesss xin's marriage.
Xin: i wish You Jesus.
and i know those few more to come....pray they will get to know Your Love too.
