...2nd AnNiVeRsArY..!

Days passed and we completed our 2 years living together... (and more than just living!) I still remember our first wedding anniversary last year in the Philippines when we were still students: sweet, fantastic, and romantic!
So... what did we have this anniversary?
We did not have much money to think about many things or to do some "luxurios" stuffs which couples might allow themselves to "throw money away through the window" in such special and memorable day. But we had a real good day together. We asked about our last anniversary wish and we wished for our next year of marriage.
Kairos is the answer of our wish last year! And we are now excited to welcome him.
Indeed God is so good. He brought us together and used this marriage to build us up. We have learned and grown together as a couple. Even just two years but I could not count all of His blessings. Times He provided. Times He cared and forgave. Times He led and protected. Times He taught and lifted us up...
To be honest and transparent, we are doing better together after two years of living, learning, and growing.
I have learned so much to submit, honor, and trust God with Thuan. And He has learned to love me, lead me, and our little family in the way God wants.
If there was one happy and memorable event we went through together during the past two years was our trip to Korea. It is like that for some reasons: we just finished our "heavy" studies in the school with some encouraging achievements, we went through a process of faith and patience to have the visa coming there, we had a wonderful trip in the fellowship of Christ's body, and especially we had a FaMiLy there....
And if there was a difficult and bad time we ever experienced as a couple, was the time of financial crisis. When I had to sell some of our wedding jewels to pay monthly rent. It was not tough because we had to sell them but it broke Thuan's heart when we needed to do so.
And of course the most wonderful and beautiful gift we ever received was nothing than our baby. We are thankful to God forever for this heavenly gift.
Our Father watches over us every moment and we know He found us wanting many times with so many shortcomings and weaknesses. But we praise Him for His acceptance and long-suffering compassion to both of us.
Another new year to come to our marriage, I pray that we will bring delight into His heart through our communion with Him, our life and service.
