Malaysian Christian Writes

Before I begin, the more personal account of the wedding (stories, experiences, highs and lows) could be found here . Prologue I know and I empathize to what some of you might say. And yes I have heard them. "I want the sort of wedding where there are hundreds of people looking at me in my white gown as I enter the hall in a shy manner" or "I would just love the colour coordination and theme that would be so cool" It would be so nice to have that dream wedding. That one day moment. And I totally get it. So allow me to respond to give context before providing you the guide. God instituted marriage and being married is a good thing (not the ultimatum). But in light of that, it is God that ultimately dictates how one gets married not the ideals of human traditions. Again not saying that those traditions are wrong. And if you are willing to wait to have that experience by all means. But marriage is a good design by God and when you have the biblical benchmarks ready one...

The Spiritual MCO (Jesus and the church) Before anything, if anyone is interested to read a short article on what God is actually asking us to see in 2020, click here .   So, my fiancée and I, we video call often when we cannot meet each other for long periods of time.

And every time we video call each other we will always talk about the hope and the joy when we finally meet and get married (which is soon by God’s grace) and we end in prayer entrusting that God knows best and has the best timing. Upon reflection and talking...

Before I begin,  let me start off with this. This will not be some post that is to make you feel better. This is not some post to show where our Dato' Lee went wrong. I am not going to say "at least he beat Lin Dan"  or " He won three silver medals and that is a feat".  I will not sugar coat the situation. After all the essence of this blog is to tell the truth graciously . If I do not stay true to that then I have missed the point of this whole post in itself. There, our hero. Our pride. Among many other heroes of Malaysia. Let's not deny the grief of the loss. Let's not deny that it sucks. Dato' Lee Chong Wei, we empathize with you and even then we do not fully understand how you feel. It sucks that the gold medal was so close within your reach. It hurts that you were so apologetic and that you felt you let the nation down (I am not assuming anything) although you have done so much more for the country. The fact that u apologize even then. ...
