Been a long while...
Hey friends!
It's been a long while since I blogged...last time I blogged was 18 October...so the qn is what have I been busy with the past 2 - 3 weeks?...hmm..I would say that have been busy with preparing for my new work..dating...spending time at home...as well as misc stuff!..haha!..the past 3 weeks have been eventful; if not fruitful!. Because I have learnt many valuable lessons; at work, in my relationship with dearie...and generally on how to treat people in a manner that they would be more appreciated...so what have I learnt the past 3 weeks?
I have learnt:
1) I must love a person in the manner that he/she is most receptive to and not the manner in which I am most comfortable with.
Many a times, we tend to think that we are loving, caring for the people around us without considering what are their primary love gifts and expressions? And as we continue to pour out our love expressions in the manner that we are most receptive to, we fail to consider if the other party has the same love expression as us?. As a result, we find ourselves often making statements like "But I loved you very much right?".
However, the truth of the matter is if the other person doesn't feel loved, I would have failed in expressing my intentions and feelings in the first place. This not applies to my relationship with dear but also my relationships with my parents and siblings too!. I have to not just love, but love more effectively so that the people around me would feel the love in a more tangible way!.
2) Giving is a choice, not an obligation
Giving my time to tend to a person or do something is always a choice and not something I have to do. And that applies not just to my work, but also to my relationship with my loved ones!. Whenever our minds decide that I want to do something or spend time with that special someone today, our hearts got to follow through and also commit to that course of action. If not, we will often find ourselves, being at the wrong place, at the wrong time doing the wrong thing. But in the first place, no one pointed a gun to our heads and force us to make a choice right?. hahaha...however, as simple as it may seem, we often do something out of obligation but not love.
Right here, I would like to tell dearie and my family that whenever I spend time with you, its not out of obligation but its out of an intention of pure love!. :)
My first 2 weeks at my new workplace has been great!. Mingling and getting to know the new colleagues have been challenging but fruitful!. Of course, it will never be the same as my previous work environment, but the people here have been nice thus far...well for those who might not know, I have moved "backwards" to learn more on the processes and deliverables in this new environment where it mainly handles the domestic market. However, although many question why I made this move, I remain convicted and certain that it is the right move because if I want to build and climb higher in my career, my foundations got to be firm and solid and broad isn't it?.
Moreover, I got a huge pay increment by moving "backwards"..so why not?..hahahaha...
More than that, this job will pretty much equip me with the neccessary skillset and know-hows on the backend processes so that I would be more effective and efficient for my next move... :)
Learning to see the positives in every situation isn't easy but with God, it is not impossible! Amen?
Been making trips to hdb hub with dearie over the past 2 months, looking at the showflats and I must say that I am really impressed by the interior design; although I am confident that with 2 creative minds; dearie and mine added together, our future home would be even more awesome!..hahaha..really excited about what is to come in the near future; but nonetheless, I want to take every single day to love dear even more and to build our foundations in Christ as well as in our lives!
Planning would only be effective if we factor God in the entire picture isn't it? Because I do not want to waste time planning and planning; only to find that it's not God's will at the end of the day! hahahaha....
We already know where we want..so we will continue to pray for it to come to past! hahaha!
Dearie darling, I love u v v v v v muchie and can't wait to see u tmr!!!...miss you like crazy!!!!...hahahahaha..
You are so special and unique to me and every moment spent with you is like a snowflake; as there won't be any identical moments together!..
Just want to give a shoutout to Dear and my family members, may God protect and bless you wherever you go and whatever you do ok?...I love you guys!
Dear, I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!
