all we have is christ
Didn't think i'd be back here, thought i had outgrew this space. might or might not be the last post but i just wanted to document what life feels like at this moment. taking a snapshot i suppose?
we both took a leap of faith back then, it was prolly harder for you than it was for me. couldn't have made it this far without christ being our foundation - i used to question how it would look like to have a r/s built in christ and i see it now. i see it when you put your interests aside and put mine first, going the extra mile to make me smile (cringe), stepping out of your comfort zone to meet mine, reminding me time and again of our cornerstone, choosing the right and loving words to say when i'm at fault. you've displayed so much grace in our r/s, i understand what it means when christ said "go and sin no more" - it means to not be self-seeking but respond with grace too, because of the grace that i've been shown. i've been struggling w eczema for a few months now (it comes and goes but unfortunately, it flared up at the start of the year and worsened recently) and earlier on in the day before you proposed, i just felt so grossed out by my own skin. my mind was so occupied with this disgusting eczema and the impending itch that comes aft every meal, i didn't think you'd propose. but you did and i bawled like a baby when i heard your speech. you reminded me of the good and bad times (tbh the bad times weren't that bad when you're such a good person), what we would be going through and how christ has helped us throughout these 2 years. it was a future promise to put christ first, just as how he has put us first and died for us when we don't deserve it. i'm excited for the next phase of our life. we shall keep learning and loving, striving to display christ always! to God be all the glory forever and ever.
loved beyond skin-deep, only because of the unconditional love that christ has poured out for us all.
(title is as such because of a random memory that sprang to mind: we were in the car, i was getting upset and worried about the future but you continued to encourage me as "all i have is christ" played in the background. oh dear me i am so very blessed)

2018: started my first job learning about what i love, alongside passionate people who are sooo smart. the offer dropped into my lap, without me hustling (not that i can hustle i think i'm underqualified lulz), just pure rest in christ. began reading John with a lovely girl from church. joined a cg tgt w cliff, hoping to journey w these god-loving, god-fearing people. bolder in sharing the gospel w my fam. hoping to start volunteering. not sure what lies ahead but am committing every step of the way to God, knowing he will guide my path and make it straight. am vvv blessed, God has been so good.
