Entry: I'm Engaged Wednesday, September 19, 2007



Dear all,

Wow, I can't believe my last post was 9 months ago! Apologies for not posting anything for so long, as I've been busy with work. I want to thank you for leaving comments of concern or even emailing me (you know who you are). I am deeply touched. I'm blessed to have you all in my life...

Anyway, just want to update this blog myself regarding something that is new in my life - I'm engaged. I thank God and am amazed in how faithful He is in answering my heart's desire. The truth is, I sometimes find this unbelievable as this is happening to me! Too good to be true…All I did was to pour my heart out to the Lord regarding this heart's desire of mine (I long to serve God alongside my spouse -  I've been praying since 2001 I guess) plus a little extra ( I told God I would like to marry someone fairer than me lol!).

When I look back for all these years, I see His hand in preparing this answer step by step…God has provided in miraculous ways and all, moving my family and hers, the American Embassy and our churches to work things out. He has never been late to answer, just me doubting and procrastinating a little…but He still remained faithful regardless of my state of doubting…

If you want to know more, do visit my fiancée's blog in http://writersheart.blogspot.com to find out more. It's just too much for me to spill the beans…lol!

All I want you all to know is that God is faithful, and He is able to do more than you dare to ask or imagine! It is true as it has happened in my life! Keep praying, and then commit it to God totally, don't try to restrict God, don't keep Him in the box for He is more than able to do things better than we all can. Let God has His way for He knows our deepest longing and desires (He is the one who put the desires there) and He knows best how to fulfill them. He knows when, He knows how, He knows best!

In Him,
~Lawrence~

Ephesians 3:20-21 (New International Version)

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
