thanks to the wonderful shots of jefferson. (:

Faith Church conference has brought renewal of the soul. Faith, is a timeless topic that will be revisited again and again in our spiritual walk. But the amazing part is, the sharing will never fail to bring forth new revelation each time.

and yes, expecting a great testimony from logan for church anniversary tomorrow! about the good works that the Lord has done in Darebin pioneering! (: it shall be a powerful one when all glory goes back to Him! amen.

suetty ho is online! and feels so..weird talking to her knowing she is miles away, when her laughter is usually audible from the next room. does feel a lil strange not having her around. haha. yes, i think i am missing her, already.

and this girl has been a blessing to me in melb. as she walked into the departure gates yesterday, i was feeling a lil, strange. though she is just going to be away for only like, 4 days. (: as she went in, i smiled to myself. not cos she's gone (haha!), but thanking God profusely for the blessing that she has been in my life.

she shared excitedly about how she has told her cellgroup back home about the great and wonderful blessings that has happened in melb. praise the Lord!

and she shared that the ROM for her bro today was extremely moving. especially when her sister-in-law teared profusely when exchanging the marriage vows. suet was moved by it as well.

so asked for how's the vow like. here goes.

"I love you. You are my best friend. Today I give myself to you in marriage. I promise to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you, and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle. I promise to love you in good times and in bad, when life seems easy and when it seems hard, when our love is simple, and when it is an effort. I promise to cherish you, and to always hold you in highest regard. These things I give to you today, and all the days of our life..."

suet's fav line is "when our love is simple and when it is an effort..", cos love can be trying at times, and to love till it hurts. the vow literally blew her away. (:

i like, the part where it shares that "you are my best friend". cos, it brings a full picture of, this union is not just about emotions of love and passions on high, but in all rationality and in the routines of life, i have a best friend to depend on; to share the nitty gritties, to share the mundane, to share the everydays, to share advice, to be offered a shoulder to lean on, to share my likes, to embrace my dislikes, to hear my rattlings as if it is music to the ears et cetera et cetera et cetera. Gold star best friend there yeah. haha.

and of cos, when it ended with, all the days of our life. it completed the whole vow.

bliss. (:
and a first-week-in-winter-melb photo to compliment the mention. hahas. thanks s.ho. (:
