Anyway, we got the keys to our flat last friday :) And the next day, we showed our potentiona contractor the unit and also cleared out mailbox which was jammed with mails for the previous owner.
Yesterday, we signed with our contractor and paid the deposit. He'll be doing the bank loan thingy for us. So for now, we'll wait for his drawing to be out. Wonder how it would turn out :) Before we finally decided, we went through a few rounds of calculations and discussion to decide if we wanna take out more things to cut cost. But in the end we decided to keep everything...we won't be saving that much anyway....and I feel maybe we can just pamper ourselves a little lah...hehe
This sat we'll be having our electrical supplies turned on, after which the reno work can officially start. We'll be getting pastor to bless and sanctify the house first before the reno works begin. Just to seek God's blessings to oversee the whole renovation works.
Things seem to be getting better, and our spirits are slightly lifted since 2 weeks ago. 2 days ago when I went to see Hun's mom, I was so happy to see that she is more alert now compared to the last time I saw her. However there's a bit of swelling on her head where her op was done. Today Hun told me that the docs would need to drain the fluid out...shan't go into details of how it would be done. Felt my spirits dampened...just when we saw improvement, something like this happens.
Guess if I could feel it, Hun and his family would feel it even stronger. We can just hope in the Lord and keep putting our faith in Him.
5 Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and 6 my God.
My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.
11 Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
But I'm still glad we're going through this...cos I feel that we've both grown in our relationship. This experience will surely prepare us for a possibly even bigger challenge that we might face after we're married. For now, I feel I'm learning what love is really about...what is it to put the other person first, what is means when the bible says "Love is patient, love is kind". How it feels to give when you know the other person is not able to give as much.
I can't say that I'm the happiest bride-to-be, but certainly learning to be peaceful and trusting the Lord, and finding my strength in His joy. I won't say I'm happy, but yet I rejoice for this precious experience, and rejoice that I have to priviledge to weather this storm with Hun. It's not easy, but it's not beyond our ability to cope either.
With Christ in the vessel we can smile at the storm"...is not longer just a sunday school song to me :)
