How Much are You Worth?

Having worked on our marriage counselling assignment a few days back, we both realized that our total net worth did not equate to much. It's not surprising as Jo only started working about a year ago and Anderson has all the while been earning a modest wage. To top it off, most, if not all, our earnings are currently being chanelled towards paying off wedding expenses and settling credit card bills.

Yesterday was somewhat of an achievement for us as we purchased our first item of furniture without so much of an argument. We weren't exactly looking for a kitchen table set when we ventured into Ikea, but knew right away that that was what we wanted to get when we laid eyes on it. Though we had to part with some of our hard earned cash, you could say that we are now worth a few hundred ringgit more compared to two days ago.

This is Your House

This is Your house
Father, come and dwell
This is Your house
A holy house of prayer
Where the lost and the lonely
Bring their burdens and their cares
This is Your house
Come and dwell

How apt that we learnt this song at choir practice today. With only a month to go till the new building is completed, His timing could not have been better.

As of today, it is exactly five months to our wedding. And on the scheduled completion date of August 15th, it will be precisely four months; nothing more, nothing less.

A case of mere coincidence? We choose to believe that this is His continued faithfulness towards us and the church at large. Indeed, the new building is Your house ... come and dwell.

It was an 'auspicious' day indeed - the seventh of july, two thousand and seven. While many other couples around the world were declaring 'till death do us part', we were excitedly checking out our wedding venue to catch a glimpse of what it would look like on the actual day. (Actually, it was more the case of toying with ideas and knowing what NOT to do so that ours doesn't end up looking all gaudy and fru fru!)

In days when things seldom come for free, we were pleasantly surprised when our new found 'kau foo' announced that he would throw in a couple of AV requirements for us for naught :) Amazing how He chooses to bless and how He has always proven to be faithful in providing for our needs. It was a worthwhile trip for sure, and we left the place happy and contented, knowing that the pieces of the jigsaw are slowly being pieced together to form a complete picture.
