Lunch with Aunty Jenny and Proud of Dear Dear

After my O-level invigilation duties today, I went to my "aunty's" house for lunch, and had a very good time catching up and updating her on whats been happening in my life. Naturally, I told her about my situation with my mom, about my struggles and the challenges my dear dear and I face as a couple.

She was listening very intently to my sharing and I believe she understood my frustrations. I know that she could see both my mom's point of view (being a mother herself), but at the same time, she could see how my mom was being unreasonable in her words and in her actions.

Anyway, I do not expect her to "side" me in this issue, but I just want to let as many people as possible know the truth of the matter, that I do love my mom a lot, and that I am already doing all that I can to help my mom understand why i am doing what I am doing.

I am extremely proud of my dear dear for choosing this difficult road with me. It is certainly easier for her to find an easier life with someone else, or even easier to insist that I proceed to marry her anyway now in spite of my mom's objections. She is choosing to believe with me that somehow, our heavenly Father will do a miracle, that He will use this trial to do a changing work in each of our lives. She is choosing to exercise faith, even when the situation seems impossible. I am very proud of her. God has changed her to be someone more and more beautiful each day. She has learnt to lay down her dreams, and her desires, and to let God tranform her. Yes we both are still a work in progress, still not perfect, but I know that through this incident, God will refine us and purify and perfect our love to Him and to each other. I have no doubt that my dear dear is the one I want to marry. I know that I don't want any other girl. I know that I will keep my commitment to come back for her after the 2 years. I know and I trust that God will take care of her in this 2 years better than I ever can. We choose to trust and to believe... Who will believe with us?
