Apart from that, this semester has been hectic, even though I don't have as many contact hours, the amount of work and depth has just doubled! I'm not complaining though, I love what I'm learning and doing! =)
God has indeed been faithful and gracious. When I first came to Perth and started school, everything felt quite surreal, even after a couple of months into uni. Just when I thought "Could life get any better than this!", God gave me something more, or rather, someone more. He blessed my life with a gift that is above and beyond my expectations, someone I would not have even dreamt of meeting. Some may call our acquaintance "a coincidence", but I call it "the Author's work".
Ever since I gave Him the pen of my life, to chart my life and to write my love story, He, the Author of the Universe, tore my old pages and started afresh.. In His story, He built my character, my understanding, added on to my wisdom and crafted family, friends, teachers and mentors to shape my life and add moments to it. He waited and wrote, guiding, molding, teaching and guarding me.. Through the years, He gave me an understanding for His word and for His purposes, showed me the true meaning of love and loved me, so that I can love again.
When the time was right, He brought a special someone into my life. Someone atypical. He made me understand what it truly meant by not matching God's perfections to mine and not imagining what would be best for me, because what He had installed for me was way beyond my humanly expectations, someone I won't have even dared imagine being with. So yes.. Life can get better than this when it is in accordance to God.
This feels like a first for me, the first time I'm in a relationship with God's understanding, the first time I'm in a relationship where God is in charge and most of all, the first time I'm in a relationship with someone who's my best friend. I don't deny that at times I'm afraid and confused, simply cause this is so different, because I'm not in control and that, can make me feel vulnerable. At times I don't know what to do and feel awkward simply cause I don't really know what to expect and how to react.. I'm like a baby learning how to walk.. I've got to first stumble my way along, before knowing how to walk the walk. But I know no matter how many times I stumble and fall, He will be there to catch me. I'm stepping into this relationship in faith and with faith, I know He will guard my heart and I do know that he will guard it too.
For my special someone, if at times I act funny, give you a hard time because I'm confused or even boggle your mind with my eccentricities, bear with me. I can guarantee that at times you'll not understand my mood-swings and I'll get on your nerves for the nitty gritty, I won't be able to comprehend why it takes you so long to reply a message, why you haven't checked on me or even for the most bizarre reason.. like you not being able to read my mind! At times you'll go.. Girls are so complicated and hard to understand.. These, I guarantee, will happen.. But what I can also guarantee is that no matter how mundane our dates get, or how hectic life is, I'll be happy that they're spent with you. I promise to not only love you for your good moments, but love you even more for your flaws, appreciate them and love them simply because they are a part of you. And even though you think that you may not be the most dashing guy on earth, and even if you think the world thinks that of you, I promise, if you could see the world through my eyes, you'd realise, no one can even come close to comparing with you. You're a precious gift from God that I hold close to my heart and God's gifts are nothing short of perfect.. Thank you for coming into my life and first being my friend, my best friend and my special someone.
