in every man, there’ll always be a boy
… is his stomach.
It’s true! Feed me and I’m a happy boy. And I think she knows that. I’ve got packed lunch today .. *wink
Brings a whole new light to the phrase,”Eat your heart out!”
UPDATE : I’m in heaven. It was awesome. Spaghetti in white sauce with bacon. I LOVES. I absolutely LOVES.
We had lunch on the hills yesterday.
It was a 50 minute drive through the rain but as we exited KL, we left the rainclouds behind, and stepped into a beautiful day. We packed some sandwiches, ate in the cool ambience of the hills. The rain came eventually, got our hair a bit wet but it was fun running in the rain!
We left shortly, and went further east, to a place where I grew up and brought her around. Also went to see the famous waterfall, but it was packed with people so we left.
It was another long drive back to the depressing rain in the city of Klang Valley back to her place, where my body finally gave in to fatigue from all the running about. I developed a headache and mild fever .. but after a Panadol, some shut eye, and a nice hot B I G bowl of noodles, I was up and running again.
Dropped her off where her family was and headed to a cell member’s birthday celebration. Up and running indeed.
Everyone knows Bentong durians are the best, right? She said that her dad and family appreciate durians .. so before we left Bentong, I stopped and bought 3 durians for them!
Later that night, they tried it and .. I think … the durian test .. passed! :p
Have a good week, y’all!
What about the first time?
I remember when I was young and stupid, I fell into my first relationship. [It was a trap, I tell you.] There was this girl, who was just coming off a breakup and was happily looking for a rebound. Then I came along, and got shipped to coupleland.
2 months later, I called it off and she cried like .. the whole world was gonna end. 2 weeks after, she was with another dud.
I remember when I was young and stupid.
I thank God that He rescued me at the most essential time of my life where I truly discovered Him, and from there discovered my identity in Him. I recognized at that time, no relationship is worth keeping if it keeps me away from what God had for me at that very frame of time in my life. It was then that my calling of leadership was reinforced and my character was shaped.
Six and a half years later, I’m at my second first time.
This time, it really feels like a first time. Yesterday, as I referred to her as my girlfriend for the very first time, I froze and had goosebumps all over my body.
Ah, guess some things just takes getting used to.
Like holding hands. I have not touched her at all, actually. Interesting, aye? Never felt like I needed to. Was talking to someone about the physical and non-physical aspects of closeness, and I guess after the first very physical relationship [It was a trap, I tell you. She taught me all the bad stuff!], I’m just a bit wary with the physical side of things.
But just as long as we’re both comfortable and within the boundaries of a good Christian couple, right? Right.
I hope I get it right this first time.
And now it begins, a boy’s journey into a new season.
A new season of life, a new season in Christ, a new season in ministry, and lastly new season with someone special.
I think sometimes Christians complicate relationships.
If you’re asking me the context of relationship I am referring to, I’m not gonna bother answering you.
First thing we as good, holy, examplary Christians do is ask God,”Lord, is he/she the one for me?”
Then we start thinking about agreement in the Spirit, through confirmation from church elders and mentors.
We talk to friends, and get mixed reactions and they tell us all the pros and cons, and we end up confused.
Then we ask him/her out for dinner.
“Oh, was it a date? Aren’t Christians NOT supposed to go around dating? What happened to Joshua Harris’ I Kissed Dating Goodbye book? GASP!”
Someone from church spots you going out with a girl. People start talking. We get all worked up when people start asking,”Hey are you two going out?” and the answer that we provide is,”No.” because … you’re not so sure if he/she’s the one or not yet.
No confirmation from church leaders yet mah. Right?
While all these stuff are well and good, and it shows that you desire to honour God by keeping things proper and in check .. but ..
LIKE MAH LIKE LOR!
Why talk so much? Why think so much?
I think I’m ready.
“You make me feel nice!“
I feel like a boy again.
I think relationships that don’t draw you closer to God are NOT worth the effort. Pastor Michael Rowan slapped a very provoking challenge night before yesterday as he ended with the following words,
Some of you need to dump someone tonight.
Nicely done. Very noice.
On the contrary, I thank God that a recent venture into a relationship has drawn me closer to God, driving me to strive for the level of holiness that God has set apart specifically for me. The desire for purity in all aspects of my life is spurred on by the consideration of the one I am to one day cleave to.
If only she knew the depth of this fact.
One day.
It all started with ice-cream
Now, it’s almost like a dream.
We’ve had dinners together
Learning more about each other
It seems like we’re getting closer
Discovering similarities between me and her.
At night
I lay in my bed
Phone beside my head
And we talk, talk and talk
But before we know it
It’s already time to stop.
Maybe, it’s a start of a new beginning
Of something that’s been kept waiting
Although I may be sure
But I still know He holds my future.
As the couple exchanged vows
Cleaved to one another
They are forever now
Bearing the rings of infinite love
That only comes from up above
United in one body
Sean and Karen will be
Purposefully and gracefully
The phileo, eros, and agape love
… complete
*feels
David[woohoo!]
