happy fathers' day

my poor blog seems to be petering out... =b but i still want to blog, and i shall, i shall i shall.

heh heh

there's so much to update. hmmm... three main things lah.

~one~

we are eleven months married! just one month to the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. oh man... time flies so so fast. i have tons to be thankful about for the past 11 months. quite a few people told me that the first year of marriage is the hardest, expect a lot of fights and adjustments etc... and it honestly stressed me out a bit!

but as I look back, it really has been a journey of more joy than pain. yes, we do quarrel now and then, but we haven't had a massive blowout (at least not yet lah. phew) and we both tend to talk things out asap and not keep it all inside or overnight, so I think that helps a lot (good advice from the marriage counsellors!). and of course, God has been a key anchor in keeping us humble before one another - cos pride can be quite a destroyer.

so yes, i'm really happy! love you dearie =)


~two~

i'm leading a new band, called snooze. (check us out at snoozetheband.wordpress.com) it's been an exciting (and stressful) journey of trusting God, learning the ropes of leadership all over again, and planning the program. Recruitment has been no piece of cake, and we're still searching for a drummer!

now i have TWO blogs to look after, so that's a bit challenging. heh


~three~

our church pastor (i used "our" without thinking!!!) shared sth funny with us today. He heard this song on the radio and he shared it with all the daddies in the congregation.

You better shape up,
'cause I need a man
and my heart is set on you.
You better shape up;
you better understand
to my heart I must be true.

Yup, it's from the musical Grease.

too many dads give up on love, on family life, on their kids - too early. but this world needs DADS WHO CARE, dads who will go the extra mile for their wife and kids, dads who really lead and protect their families. God needs men such as these to lead the families of today. So you better shape up! =)
