this big guy..

PROLOGUE

the story behind....

yearssss ago, i prayed earnestly and asked God what criteria of a husband i should ask and look for..

and these were what i got:

the man who fears the Lord, 

family man, 

upright man,

20 cm taller than me (at minimum) 

in my 25th birthday i asked God to meet me (only to meet, not to be in relationship) with my future husband..

*i wrote it on a letter for him back then :) 

*and there was also the 2nd letter in my waiting... 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

he was my uni / church friend. couldn't remember which one happened first.

but we never really knew each other until we met again at the end of 2014. 

he (out of sudden) contacted me via WA. we had a bit chit chat and (happened to be) at that time he was considering to quit from his job and asked me related questions (as i have resigned from my job and helping my dad).. no more chit chat after that..

few weeks later i asked him whether he had decided to quit or continue his job, and he answered that he had already sent his resignation letter. 

then i was O OWW... i thought i might be exaggerating when i said helping family's business was much better... i felt quite responsible for his decision to leave the office..

then he asked me to meet up as he would need to know how the 'working-with-the-family' rules and life..

guess where was our first catch up? 

we had a dinner at SONG FA bakut teh XD (from the place, u knew it clearly, that's not even a dating place)

*i felt so old to pick SONG FA for dinner with a friend.. hahahaha...   

and at my comment at the first sight after long time no see: wow, you're bigger than i could remember!

PS: why big guy? because he is big and tall. the tallest among everyone i knew.

29 cm taller than me.

believe it or not, on our way home, something was tickling my heart, and it sounded like:

"hey, do you remember the criteria of husband you've been asking? it seems that he fulfills all"

then i felt like God was smiling to me that time, a bit teasing me (ciehhhh ciehhhhhh)

and i was like "seriously God? is he the one? seriouslyy??"

-> in those years, some men were approaching, but no one was 20 cm taller.

the 1st catch up continued with daily chatting... another weekend catch up... 

and love......

"as the bee is attracted to the flower, so my heart is to you"

he wrote me a poem, and i just remembered the bee and the flower part hahaha..

(not in the exact words. more or less like that :p )

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EPILOGUE

i once again see how God give only THE BEST for me, 

how He fulfill His promises,

and take seriously all of my prayers.

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. Ephesians 3:20 

-> proven. God gave me more than i asked. a man 9 cm taller than expected :p

not only the height, but the characters, the maturity, the love that is more more moreee than i ever imagined.

and yes, we did meet each other in my 25th at the church. though there were almost no conversation between us that time ;p
