Single or not

Been figuring out what marriage means to a Christian. Just want to note this down in my journal.

"
Sometimes I desire to be a little girl again, or a single lady a bit longer, having fun to travel around with JADE. But I am more happy to become 2010's wife! After going through our premarital counselling course, I realise it's about being one in body, mind, heart and spirit - with him & God.

I told Anna recently: God created marriage for His great purpose - hence, man & woman exist. Marriage, in God's eyes, is a convenant, not a contract. It's not the signatures on the certificate, nor the design/cost of rings, nor where the wedding is held, nor the honeymoon. But since these are a once in a lifetime event, they should be done properly.

However, marriage is so much more - it is so binding, lifelong, deep, profound a promise that even I have yet to fully grasp it. Its biblical expectations, the full meaning of being one with this man who will soon become my husband in good and bad times. To be ruled by someone and to submit willingly to that person. It took me some time to realise, that it's no longer about his & mine. It's ours. Our values. Our time. Our home. Our finances. Our destination. I've to grow up so quickly to take on a new role. I can only walk this journey hand in hand with 2010, with God guiding us, step by step, day by day, with His will as our goal and His word as the light to our journey.

Getting married needs readiness. Today, a colleague told me she couldn't possibly be tied down, & that she was afraid she'd get bored. But to me, it's actually a joy to decrease that freedom of individuality and to discover & embrace the freedom of togetherness - being one in God.

Loving you all,
Joy who will be married in 40 days AAAAHHHHHhh! "

HK!

Went Hong Kong from the 13 Nov to 16 Nov. We took the first flight out at 6am and flew back and only reach at 1am.

It was a hectic and we walked all over Hong Kong. haha
It was fun and many photos are with Jerrard. Yes it's Jerrard, Deborah Kee, me and Alvin.

Us in the Club No. 9. Entrance $120 HKD. Free flow of drinks till 1am. Hee. Not as good as Butter Factory but ok~~. Some clubs are exclusive to their members only and we cannot enter so... have to make do with others.

Hee tried on this hat and it matches my outfit so well. Tee Hee.
